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

I've been thinking so much about Dave these days. I worked with him briefly on a number of projects and reports. Besides his kindness, intelligence, and charisma, the one thing I remember the most is that I felt so much better about myself after every single conversation we had. He inhabited this world where every project was exciting and special, something that was intellectually thrilling and would make a difference in the world. And if you were lucky enough to be part of it this brilliance was extended to you. I have never met anyone that would come even close to him in that regard. The outpour of love for Dave from all over the world is a testimony to this and to his extraordinary achievements. To Cath, Poppy and Flynn - I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Please accept my most sincere condolences.
