I knew Dave as the guy who won the heart of my friend, Helen, and went on to have two beautiful children with her. I felt like his extraordinary ability to be so chill and easygoing was a kind of superpower that made the world a nicer place. And I think he has left that legacy in the lovely family he created and the memories he made with them. What a gift to have known him.

We have so many happy memories of Dave. We will always treasure the amazing artwork he did for us. He was wonderful company, even through his illness, with his warmth, positivity and sense of fun.

I will always remember Dave with a cheeky smile on his face! He was so warm and lovely and captivated all who spent time with him. I worked with him at Ikon Gallery where he was an honorary Ikonette (the only boy) and then in more recent years at The New Art Gallery Walsall when we worked on Arts Council Collection exhibitions. (We always wanted Dave and Rick!) My heart goes out to his family and closest friends, this is such a sad and tragic loss and I am sure Dave will be sorely missed by so many. RIP Jiffy Corners xxx
