Dave was our dear friend and colleague. He left us much too soon. He was a colossal intellect. He was generous with his time and his guidance. He was a leading light in the global drug policy reform movement and inspired many others through his ideas, his advocacy and his academic enquiry. As a friend, Dave was fiercely loyal - always ready to fight your corner. He had an incredible sense of humour, sharp and witty, alway ready with a smile and a laugh. We will miss his candid joviality, his friendship, his guidance and the beautiful human being that he was. He left us on the 20th of November 2024 after a brave and stoic battle with cancer. He passed peacefully at home with his beloved family. Rest in power Dave

I remember that over 10 years ago when i started working with IDPC and joining the annual CND sessions in Vienna, that Dave used wake up really early to go for a run before going to the CND for the day. He was one of the few that inspired me to start running :) I remember a fun dinner together with Chris Hallam in Vienna at another CND, bumping into Dave at the Vienna airport and him inviting me to join him for a beer, and agreeing to help me by joining a meeting with a hostile government in Asia. He was a super supportive friend and mentor, down-to-earth, humble, kind and often ready to make other people laugh and feel at ease. He is a treasure.
