David, I remember the message you sent me on your walkabout. I don't remember what the message said, just where it was written from and why. You where up on Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic mountains of Washington state. One of the most spectacular views on earth. You had no schedule, no agenda and no worries. I had been there once as a kid, and still remember it. So, I followed your path. I quit my job, packed everything I owned in my Ford Explorer and drove up to Alaska. I worked at a satellite tracking station in Fairbanks and tried to see the whole state. I was a fantastic experience. Thanks for providing your inspiration. Ted

David, Many moments laughing and listening before and after spanish class, your quiet and kind way of looking out for the needs I could not address. You walked into my home and my life, in an instant you saw how to make my everyday life with a young child better. You taught me not to forget about the joys of being an adult, and introduced new inspirations of music and ideas into who I have become. Your voice of wisdom, expressing your feelings about growing up, to provide advice and a conclusion to my child's fresh beginning. I loved hearing your stories and often use them now, four years later as I reflect and make choices as a parent and a world explorer. Your love of the redwoods, the peace of this life kept you longing, eager to discover but made to choose. May Death Be Kind To You. Blessed Be.

We knew David for three great years, he was always very respectful, friendly and full of life. I think that was partly because he knew I had the keys to the Equipment storage area where all the sports equipment was kept. He was there first in the morning to meet me and the last person I would kick out of the gym at night. He was a sponge when it came to learning sports. Game films, statistics, new drills, plays, you name it he could not get enough. He was very intelligent, a gifted athlete and a respected leader on/off the courts. He even volunteered to participate in our annual Gymnastics show, that was probably the moment in his life when he decided to take up Golf. Sports are a microcosm of life in many ways, the size of David's heart on the playing fields and courts could not have been bigger.It was a gift and a privilege to have David in our lives as a student, athlete and friend. Rest in Peace David

This would be my third loss from ISH. First Eduardo from Class of 1979, then Andrea from Class of 1980, and now David from the Class of 1979. David's aura always made him approachable, at which point one discovered that he was itelligent, interesting, humorous with sarcasm and dark humor, and with an adventurous spirit.

Tief erschüttert habe ich von deinem schrecklichen Unfalltod gehört. Ich konnte es gar nicht glauben. Wir haben uns nicht sehr gut gekannt, aber wenn immer du in Hamburg warst, haben wir uns bei Christa gesehen, ich mochte deine sanfte Natur und mochte gerne mit dir sprechen. Zuletzt sahen wir uns auf Marks und Heikes Hochzeit.- Und ich war gerührt darüber, dass du dich so wohl fühltest in Deutschland. Lebe wohl in den anderen Welten. Wir sehen uns alle dort wieder.

David -- God, I still am in shock over this totally unfair and unnecessary loss. You were that shaggy haired, bearded "new blood" programmer at SRA all those years ago. We began with German Monopoly at our house, which helped you bond with Scott (that and beer, of course). It's been on and off for all these years -- I'd get annoyed when you stayed away for too long! It's just unfathomable that one month ago you were flesh, and life, and now you're not. We miss you; we love you. Peace.

Although I knew David as my daughter Henrietta’s classmate for a number of years, I didn’t really get to know him until 17 October, 2001, when a lunchtime ring on my doorbell brought a polite “Can I help you?” from me, as a bearded stranger stood there before me. “You don’t recognise me, do you?” “Well, frankly, no.” “David Fletcher.” “DAVID?!! How wonderful!” The ensuing five hours passed in a flash, we couldn’t stop talking as if we had known each other for ever, and from that time on, David had a special place in my heart. We saw each other again briefly on a couple of his subsequent Hamburg visits, and then last year he emailed me to ask if it would be possible to stay in my house for a few days for the celebrations surrounding the 50 years of ISH in September/October. Of course I was delighted to say yes, and it was great having him (albeit I didn’t see all that much of him as he had his own key!) but the moments of contact were very special, as always. Little did I think, when I took him to Hamburg airport to fly back home to California after all the festivities were over, that I should never be seeing him again. When my son Daniel told me yesterday about David’s accident, on my return from a couple of weeks’ holiday in England, I could scarcely believe it, and my sense of loss and desolation was, and still is, extreme. It’s quite impossible to realise that such a personality, with all the wonderful qualities he had, can just be snuffed out, mercilessly and irrevocably, in the space of a few seconds. If I, someone of the next generation merely on the periphery of his life, feel this way, how very much more those who were really near to him, his family and his many friends, must be hit by the sheer tragedy of his loss at so young an age. In spite of the uselessness of any words or phrases of attempted comfort at such a time, I would just like to say how greatly I feel for and with you at this time, and share in your grief and mourning. Bless you, dear David, you live on in our hearts.

Although I have not had much contact with Dave since ISH, the memories of that time are still vivid. We spent countless hours playing any kind of ball game (mostly basketball and soccer), riding our bicycles in the park, or just hanging around and discussing everything and nothing while listening to music. I will always remember his positive attitude, his dedication to sports, and that grin on his face. He was a special guy indeed. To Richard and the rest of his family… My sincere condolences. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Good Bye Dave!
