I used to babysit him when he was 5. He lived 2 doors down. He moved to So CA and I actually ran in to him down here. The story I heard was a drug overdose. If his mom, sister or dad are reading this, I am VERY sorry about David. :(

I knew Dave when he dated my cousin Shannan Hughes. The thing that still sticks with me to this day, was how giving he was. When he would come by my aunt and uncles house, he was a ROCKSTAR! Always ready to blow our minds with an Ozzy Ozbourne or Doors song. I miss him still, and wonder what could have been. He was a great soul, and an amazing talent.

So much to say.............hands down,to this day,one of the best guitarists/musician I ever had the pleasure of playing in a band with. Wether it was in junior high or later in the band Mystic Fate. Very much an innovator and guitar prodigy. Not to mention one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Miss you Dave.

It was 14 years ago today that we lost David. He is still sorely missed. Mom lives in Mission Viejo and Dad lives in Los Osos. I (his sister) live in Arcata, CA up by Eureka. My Mom is actually here in town visiting and we'll be together on this day.

My memories of Dave were a cool rock star with musical talent, that was the measuring stick for all the musicians in the Central Coast area. He looked like a medieval knight, protecting his baby sister from harm. Nothing but great memories, respect and wishes for his family and friends

I remember seeing him around school but I never knew him, he always appeared to me to be very shy but sweet, I was stunned to see that he had passed away so young. My condolences to his family and friends.

I was very sad to hear this through Curt Martini. It was like getting punched in the stomach. Dave was an amazing talent and human being.

David, Curt, and I were all best friends in school. David and I grew up together. I miss him badly. Miss Curt too. Strange days...I've seen too many brilliant people go out this way. Many fond memories. Sending love from SF- Chas

David was my first best friend. From the age of 4 or 5, through High School years, and after, we grew up together. Very early memories of listening to Beatles records(that his mother, Maureen shared with us) in his room...we were so little...we used to pretend that our stuffed animals were George, Paul, John, and Ringo. Later on, I Learned how influential his mother was to him. She taught him piano(they had one in their living room). We would bang out notes to the songs we liked and his (very young at the time) sister Elizabeth would play with us. We were all happy kids.

Charlie! I was just thinking about you and googled you. If you see this, email me at [email protected]! Curt and I just reconnected on Facebook, and his ex-girlfriend/love of his life lives near me in Portland, OR! It would be great to swap fun stories about Dave. Hope you're well! -Beth/Elizabeth/"Lizbit" as Dave would call me

I met Dave my junior year of HS. After HS I was briefly in a band he had put together. I have several memories of time spent with him. The memory I've gone back to many times is a lesson he taught me. There was a kid some others were making fun of when he wasn't around. Being a bit of a follower back then I joined in sharing my misguided and frankly stupid comments about the guy. Dave said to me, "I don't know, he never did anything wrong to me." I realized in that moment that I also had not been wronged by the individual and it was me that was being an immature jerk. It was a powerful lesson he conveyed with just a few words. It has caused me to consider my words before I speak on many occasions. I have shared this lesson with both of my sons. Dave thank you for helping me be a better person. It is heartbreaking you left us so early but I really appreciate having known you.
