Dave passed away on Friday AM, 9/17/21. Thanks for all the well-wishers before and after his passing.

Dave, a friend to many on CBN and a good old rascal has been ill and AWOL from CBN.

One of his home town (Duluth, Minnesota) friends messaged me today on FB and told me that his condition has been worsening.

Dave hurt his back a while back and then got some better and went to music event with friends he had not seen for a while due to Covid. Dave was joyous to go. Shortly after that event, Dave got Covid.

I thought Dave had got his vaccinations, but I may be wrong about that. The poor guy also got hit very hard this year with the death of a loved one.

Dave is a generous giver of his talents in music, CBG building, drawn and painted art, and pottery and SLIDE making. He is known to draw cool art on packages he mails -such as slides and pottery.

Prayers and good thoughts may be a big help. Also include his sweet wife, Yannis.

I’ve been thinkin’ a lot about that great ol’ guy and listenin’ to his music in the evenings. I kinda wondered if something was up because we haven’t had any new DaveLynas tunes on here and I’m missing’ em. Prayers and cigar smoke incense rising up to heaven for our friend...
