    Hello.

    Can I have a moment of silence and your prayers please for someone who just passed away today that was a very close and caring person. :(

    I knew him as a Father, a priest, and a friend: Father Dave. He died today in his sleep at only 47 years old, an active priest of a Catholic Church. I pause today and right now to remember him, for what he's done for me, and for what he's taught me. He was a very good speaker, and overall a funny guy. He liked the Philadelphia Eagles, and he was man of God.

    He will remain in my heart and memories forever; I am requesting your heart and prayers for just a moment - he died at such a young age, and his death to me...is such a surprise. I don't even know how he died yet - I literally just found out, and immediately just sat and stared at my computer, thinking.. :(

    Read Ecclesiastes 9:4-6. It is very comforting.

    Sorry for your loss EGS. 47 is far too young. My dad died of a heart attack at that age. At the time, it seemed unfair but it is only now when I am a kick in the pants off that age myself that I really appreciate how very early I lost him.

    My nephew died just over a year ago too. He was 11. Of great comfort to his father and the rest of the family is the amazing legacy he left behind. Because of Darragh more people today know about SUDEP (Sudden Death due to Epilespy) than did before and the support my brother has received from the community he lives in has been extraordinary.

    RIP Darragh, MoU and Father Dave. You will never be forgotten.

    I believe death happens for a reason....And likewise when people are close to death and 'should have died' that is also for a reason....our father is sending that person back for a reason. Maybe there is something for that person to acomplish here on earth.So although you might be sad, know that Father Dave was taken home because our father in heaven needs him there and his work on earth was compleat.

    Thank you for your time, everyone. :)
    Crazy_Rob, your post made me smile because it sounds just like something he would say.

    I just recently came back from his memorial - it was very sad. Thank you for your hearts and prayers gentlemen.

    I lost my mom 6yrs ago suddenly, she was only 49.

    You have my condolences and prayers.
    It's never easy loosing someone you are close to but it is comforting knowing where Father Dave's final destination is :)
