Dave Bewley-Taylor

September 24, 1968 - November 20, 2024

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

Dear Cath, Poppy, and Fynn, I wanted to express how shocked and deeply sorry I am to hear of Dave’s passing. He was truly one of my all-time favorite human beings, and I loved working with him. I remember the first time I met him: he was wearing his 'Public Enemy' t-shirt and flip-flops. When I asked about the flip-flops, he said, “Everywhere I go, it sounds like I'm getting a round of applause!” That was Dave—witty, warm, and unforgettable. He was both a scholar and a gentleman who made time for everyone. It's rare to find someone with his intellect who was also so charming, caring, and supportive of those around him. I feel privileged to have known him and am desperately sad he is no longer with us. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
