Can't believe that. I bear Dave in my mind as full of life, a man of
impressive strength, openess, friendliness.
We met a few times in Ensisheim, several years ago. Remember him
together with his daughter Maddie, playing around him like a joyous
little child-planet around the father-sun.
I have here an oriented stone-meteorite named "crown of flames". It was
first with Svend Buhl, then with Dave, finally it came back to Germany
and made it to my cabinet. It still was, but even stronger will be an
inspiration to contemplate the ways we go.
Farewell. All my very best wishes to the family.

This is devastating.
A giant of a man, kind like no other, full of inspiration, advice and
positive spirit, great father, and a friend whom you could rely on,
for anything, always.
I can't put in words the emptyness I feel on knowing that Dave is no
longer with us.
Speaking for my entire family, you will never be forgotten brother.
All our love and thoughts are with the Gheesling and Sutton families.

My heart is broken. Dave was a man of integrity and for whom I have
great respect.
He has supported me in many ways. I've shared a beer and I've shared
some tears with him. He stands as an icon in the meteorite community
and a great family man.
Both Kat and I send our love and prayers to the Gheesling family,
especially Maddie and Kasia.
Dave was a truly genuine person and I am so grateful to have been his
friend and a part of his life. Rest in Peace my friend

Folks,
It’s with a heavy heart that I write to the meteorite community this
evening.
Dave Gheesling passed away yesterday (11/11), and we’re all trying
to process the sudden loss. He was my best friend. I don’t have the
words to express how much he meant to me, how much he influenced my
life, and how blessed I was to have known the man.
Dave’s love of family & friends, his positivity, his generosity and
his enthusiasm for life are the example he has left for us all. Dave
has been an important part of our community, and his contributions
will live on as his legacy for many decades to come.
I apologize for the abruptness of an email communication, but we
were only able to contact a few people this evening, given the hour.
Please, if you need anything, contact me directly so that we can
give Dave’s family the time they need to prepare for the service. I
will post more details as they are available.
Yours,
Sean Murray

Sooner or later - and whether we like it or not - each of us will

are born, we experience a few decades on the big ball (if we're
lucky), then we die. Our atoms are once again stirred back into the
terrestrial soup, and that's about all she wrote.”
