David’s Story

Site created on March 23, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.  


David was diagnosed with bladder cancer in April 2020.  He spent the summer powering through chemo treatments and had bladder removal/reconstructive surgery October 5th.  A series of infections kept him in the hospital post-surgery and we moved him to home hospice Saturday, March 20, 2021.  His partner Tawnya and his son Tyler are by his side in Tawnya's house in New Jersey.  


Since he has so many friends and family around the world, and so many of us cannot travel due to Covid considerations, we encourage you to share your memories here:  pictures, video, song lists - anything you'd like us to share with David and his family as he spends his final days at home.
