Mavsluva (David) passed away today

**Carlos_E** · 10-11-2007, 09:56 PM

I recieved a PM from Gina, David's wife stating that he passed away today. She asked that I inform the board.

**Kratos** · 10-11-2007, 09:59 PM

That is truly awful

**dhriscerr** · 10-11-2007, 10:00 PM

Such a tragedy! He was always such a positive man, and very informative on morals and understanding ways of thinking. Its such a sad thing that men of his caliber are taken away so early in their lives when they touch so many people. I know many people will miss his encouraging word. May he rest in peace. You will be missed brother.

**Igifuno** · 10-11-2007, 10:02 PM

Man, this is horrible news.

Let's keep his family, friends, and the kids he ministered in our prayers.

RIP, brotha.

**Prada** · 10-11-2007, 10:13 PM

OMG. Wow thats just terrible, just like that out of the blue. Im......just flabbergasted by this surprise. David was truly a gentleman with good morals and for such a good person to have something like this to happen.........My sincere condolences to his family and wife Gina.

RIP Brutha David, you were a great man.

**5ifthCitizen** · 10-11-2007, 10:15 PM

Things like this make my mind wander, just really confusing.

**dhriscerr** · 10-11-2007, 10:36 PM

I did not realize any of this was going on, and then I got a pm from him on sept 29th saying that the cancer he was fighting was going to take his life in the distant future and inspite of his situation, gave me a blessing for myself and my family because he helped me through my hard times with my wife and our marriage a few months back. That shows volumes of what kind of man David was, always putting others before himself, if I could put 1/5 the effort he did into helping others, I would touch so many peoples lives.

**IronReload04** · 10-11-2007, 10:43 PM

may his spirit live on, and God bless him for touching so many

**QuieTSToRM33** · 10-12-2007, 12:00 AM

damn .... mavs was a good guy

**LawMan018** · 10-12-2007, 12:04 AM

Wow... I can't believe it... Just like that. Well at least we all know for sure where he is right now, there's no doubt about it, his faith was unending. Mavs was a great man, and helped me get back into religion. Thank you Mavs, God Bless You, you will be dearly missed.

**PROTEINSHAKE** · 10-12-2007, 01:52 AM

awful. just awful that this has happened to such an amazing person & family.
God bless you Mavs & family.

**l2elapse** · 10-12-2007, 02:01 AM

**K.Biz** · 10-12-2007, 03:00 AM

**Kale** · 10-12-2007, 03:06 AM

**Flagg** · 10-12-2007, 04:19 AM

I'm at a loss for words.

His wisdom will be missed and my thoughts go out to his family.

**king6** · 10-12-2007, 05:09 AM

He contacted me a week ago with this statement.

I responded to your thread tonight and I want you to be sure to check it out. In the meantime...

Got some bad news. Before I tell you, I need you to keep this on the down low. It's going to be announced in the not so distant future so you'll get an update when the time comes. As you may already know, I was once again diagnosed with cancer a few months agol Only this time, it will win. My brain surgery was unsuccessful and my life expectancy is very short. I've instructed my wife to contact Tai when I die and he'll then inform the board accordingly.

The doctors don't anticipate me seeing the year 2008. I'm preparing accordingly as my house is for sale and my wife is planning on moving in with her sister upon our house being sold. I'm telling you all of this because you have been one of my supporters for quite some time now. I thank you and I ask that you live your life the right way.

Best of luck to you,
David

I never expected it to be so soon. He was a vauled member of our board, one of the greats, and he will be missed.

**Big** · 10-12-2007, 05:30 AM

This is truly horrible news, he will be missed. Please pass our regards to the family, and let us know if there is anything we can do to help the survivors through this difficult time.

**Odpierdol_sie!** · 10-12-2007, 06:19 AM

Bad news! i remember him from the times i use to read up on here a while back.
Brave man to accept his fate like he did.
RIP

**Merc..** · 10-12-2007, 08:38 AM

Yes a very sad thing indeed.. Life is too short ... My prayers go out to him and his family...

Merc.

**goodcents** · 10-12-2007, 08:54 AM

Damn, that is tough to see the first thing when I get my computer back after no internet for like 3 weeks

Mav dead, wow

not much to say

We had differences of opinions but I would always like to think we were friends

**Raven88** · 10-12-2007, 09:10 AM

I followed many of mavsluva's inspirational threads/posts on this board long before I registered as a member.

He will be missed and my prayers and condolences go out to his friends and family.

God bless his soul. I'm sure he is in a better place now.

RIP mate.

**goodcents** · 10-12-2007, 09:16 AM

Never met him in person but I think he touched alot of people

wow

Cancer will take even the best in shape

***Admin*** · 10-12-2007, 09:20 AM

Very sad to hear... he was a valued member and has helped many... some very personal some just with his kind words or understanding.... he will be greatly missed here...

To his wife I am deeply sorry for your time of greif and can only offer to you our prayers and I wish for the good memories that you have to cherish to sustain you through this time... God speed...

**Merc..** · 10-12-2007, 09:21 AM

wow i just was looking at his post.. This was his last post.. Its from the Bigrexia thread .... Again my prayers are with him and his wife....

Being "big" is not the be all, end all of life. Because when you die, the people at your funeral will not be saying, "He was a big guy." You can only hope that they'll be uplifting the other things that you brought to the table through relationships with them.

If you do in fact struggle with this, I can only hope and pray that you'll allow yourself to NOT allow your personal desire to be "big" to defeat the purpose of your life on this side of the grave.

Mavs

**Prada** · 10-12-2007, 09:44 AM

I never knew him on a personal basis but he was a good human being from what I saw and read, somewhat of a philanthropist. I shall sport the avy of the team he loved for a couple of days in his honour.
