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

What sad sad news...I first met Dave 12-13 years ago and it was immediately apparent to me what a lovely human being he was, in addition to being a true master of his subject matter. His kindness, good humour and generosity with remain with me. Among other engagements, we co-wrote an article on modernising drug law enforcement and I felt very fortunate to be able to learn from Dave. Every time we spoke I was struck by his commitment to doing good and wanting to progress issues. And everything was done with a smile on his face. I wish we had interacted more in recent years, I will certainly miss him. Sending my love and condolences to his family, of whom Dave was so proud.
