what a sad day, ASM gave me great advice on numerous occasions and was always patient and incredibly wise anytime i had the pleasure of picking his brain. As others have expressed he was truly one of the good guys in this biz and will be missed.

I was at David and Julia's wedding. Damn hot day. over 120 in the shade and it was an outdoor wedding.
That was the first time I met him, he wasn't what I expected. He had a very sharp mind, a healthy outlook and an extremely supportive family. Julia was a sweetheart.
Rest in Peace DavidCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment

RIP David.... Mad respect!

I am deeply saddened by this news. Dave was a friend that always made time to chat and had many profound insights into life to share. He was one of the smartest I have met in this biz and the sweetest. I adore Julia and my heart goes out to her in her time of grief. Please give her my sincerest condolences and let her know that I will be praying for her and their family. I know he was sick of suffering and I know he is in a better place, yet I am selfishly feeling the devastation of this loss

That is indeed sad news, while I didn't know AfterShockMedia I always enjoyed reading his intelligent, thoughtful posts.
This board is poorer without him.

Oh no Rest in Peace, ASM. You were an inspiration to me in many ways, from your persistant positive outlook on life to your work ethic and your calm and respectful way of treating people. The world lost one of its better people today.

Aftershock was a personal friend of mine. We spent many many hours going over idea's....sitting in meetings. He had such a brilliant mind.
This is probably the closest person to me that I've had die in my life. This is truly a somber day for me....on the one side, I've lost a great friend, on the other hand, his daily suffering is finally over.
I'm just glad to be one of the few people that had their lives brightened by his presence.
Aftershock used my Nikon D60 in Atlanta, I will keep that Camera forever & when it's obsolete, i will have it framed, as a memory of a very close friend.
When this memorial fund is setup someone please hit me up & let me know. Check/paypal/epass whatever, I will definitely be there to help his wife in any way I can.
Also I remember David telling me he had everything "setup" for his business for when he passed....if there's anything I can do to help his wife with the sites just let me know. I have some space free'd up on one of my servers, I could definitely host a few domains for you guys.
Wow I'm just speechless right now, I don't know how to take this. I knew it was coming one day & i tried to prepare, but how do you prepare for the death of a great friend?Comment

DAM sad to hear, he is one of the very few posters i actually liked here.Comment

David loved rock 'n roll. This song is for you Bro:
I've been sitting here reading through the many nice tributes to David, remembering him, and crying...
I mostly knew David through his postings on GFY as AfterShockMedia. He was one of my favorite posters, because he was very knowledgeable about the industry (and generously shared his knowledge), he had a wonderful sense of humor, and he was passionate about several of the same issues which I am passionate about.
In fact, we met only once, when I visited him while he was at Stanford Hospital this past November. Although we had never met before in person, we shared a meal, drank some beer, and talked for hours like a couple of old friends.
I remember how we talked about GFY as a community. It is at times such as this sad occasion when I am truly reminded of that.
David talked openly and honestly about his medical issues, although he never felt sorry for himself or sought sympathy.
I must tell you too that he loved his wife with all of his heart. I want to extend my sincerest condolences to Julia, and to the rest of David's family.
Finally, I want to share one of David's posts from about 4 months ago, in which he wrote:
In some Zen teachings there is an expression that when one dies, they simply drop their body, while their soul lives on.Originally posted by AfterShockMedia
To me, David has simply dropped his body, and his soul is now free.
Rest In Peace My Friend...

It's because of David and Julia that you and I got to meet in Atlanta! One of the best times I shared with the two of them, I know David considered you a dear friend.
I'll keep everyone posted as to what Julia is arranging to remember him on his birthday on the 28th, as well as what we can put together to give her support at this sad time.
Keep the love coming, I know that at some point she will be strong enough to deal with everything and she will appreciate everyone's good wishes and memories of her beloved husband. He was truly one of a kind and has touched many with his kindness and wisdom.Comment
