Deb, Abby, and Katelyn,
Dave is amazing husband, father, son, brother and friend. I was hiking yesterday, and a hummingbird continued to dive bomb me. I know it was Dave telling me to keep going and great job. Will miss Dave always. All my prayers and love coming your way.
Oh Deb! Girls! Family and friends!
None of us can know the depth of your your grief, but know we, your extended OTMF family and friends share with you this grief and are sending loving energy as well as sharing the sadness we all feel💜
Yesterday afternoon I was lying on the couch lightly dozing with Eli (2) and there was a huge crack of thunder and the most beautiful steady downpour of a sunshower. It was such a beautiful scene and I was so warm and fuzzy feeling with my son napping in my arms and made me think of Dave wondering if he was heading out on his next adventure.
Dave and Deb you are by far the most intuitive healers I have met and such a testament to the strong bond of true soulmates. The love for each other outpoured to each and every single one of us and helped us all in our journey toward healing and health.
I really love how Dave configured the Pandora U2 station to play everything cool EXCEPT U2🤭. He just has a way with mastering intentions behind the scenes to make what he wanted his reality to be. His reality with his loving family and those that know him.
Deb, thank you for "succumbing" to a date with Dave after him pestering you for a date for months on end! Look at the empire you two created💜
We are grieving with you and loving you with all we have!
Rest in Paradise, Dave. I'm sure you are running through the place exploring and soaking it all in while loving and comforting your family. See you on the other side, friend💖

Dave, thank you for sharing a part of your life and your fitness passion with me. It has made a difference in my life. I will miss growing old around you. I will miss your positive attitude, and the good natured manner in which you pushed me to my limit.
Grace and Peace, Bud
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your girls. Yesterday morning I was hiking over at Staunton and I had the overwhelming sense of Dave's presence. I was certain I would find out when I got home that he had passed away. So I believe he was also visiting Staunton one last time before he flew away.
Lost a good friend yesterday. No only my friend he is my trainer, my ski buddy, my mentor an amazing father husband and friend. An inspiration in so many ways. He taught me how live life to the fullest. Throughout his battle with cancer he was always positive and lived his life his way. Hiking biking loving living. Everything he did was to the max. I will miss you always. You are loved by so many people who will miss your smile and positivity. Words cannot express how amazing you are Dave Brown. I love you always and keep hiking all the way to the top!!!
Thank you again for sharing your story and sharing Dave with us. He fought the fight and he finished the race. I believe he’s at peace . He will always have a special place in my heart. My love to all of you.
