For my brother Dave Savage
How could I forget the day that he didn’t die.
That day he knew. He had this smile in his eye.
Made sure he told me what he had to say.
There’s no way I could forget him or ever forget the day.
And then later on in the afternoon after saying good bye to us.
He went out with his friends, the one’s he could trust.
He died on that day – time to let his family be.
Living the Dave way was the last lesson he gave to me.
You gotta love how he lived. How he was loved and admired.
A knack. A certain flare for life. And how he had it wired.
He’d never give up. He wouldn’t give in.
He had a wonderful way of livin.
There’s not been a day. Not one hasn’t gone by.
When I don’t think about the day he didn’t die.
I really miss him. He would have loved this. I hope he can hear me.

I used to live next to Ken, David, and Tim when I was growing up in Dracut.
While we were never in school together (our ages just happen to fall that way), I used to watch the boys ride their bicycles down ramps in the back yard.
Much credit goes to their mother, Bunny, who spent much of her time raising three boys by herself. An amazing feat by all accounts.
I knew of David’s passing many years ago. While there is shame in not passing my condolences on at that time, I offer them now to a family who has faced many challenges.
On a personal and perhaps somewhat unrelated note, many years ago Bunny gave an unused bureau to my parents (again, who lived next door). My parents passed it to me when my son James was born. He will be 3 years old in less than a week and we still use it today.
Much thanks and good thoughts to you and your family,
Sincerely,
Brendon Chetwynd

Ken-
Dave is always in my thoughts and prayers. He will always live on mentally with me. I havent seen you guys lately, but wanted you to know that he is always in my mind. Everytime I drive by your moms house on the way to my parents house, a different memory of him pops into my mind. Dave was very special to me – He was truely my best freind, and will always be. Now recently I have had a baby boy, and have carried on Dave’s legacy by giving my baby boy the middle name Dave in his rememberence.

Yooooo What’s up buddy. Longtime no see.
Hey man I got to say that’s is a great way to remember Dave. I appreciate that. Everyday something comes up that I remember something he said or did. Good times.
If you ever want to get some beers sometime you can email or look me up. I moved to the other side of Dracut but I’m in the phone book.

Definitely – I’d like to meet up with you and or Tim sometime. I bought a house up in Litchfield, NH (next to manchester) about 3yrs ago. Lets try to plan something. You guys could even come up to my place, maybe BBQ and have a few cocktails. I’ll definitely give you a ring sometime.

I used to be very good friends with Dave, we worked together at Dunkin Donuts in Chelmsford when we were in high school. We immediately became close friends. We had stayed friends up until the day he died and I miss him more than I could put into words. He always knew what to say to put me in a better mood…and when something would go good for someone and he would always say “who’s better than you?”.
He was a great dad and good friend. I wish he had more time in this world. He was truly a fabulous person and a stellar friend.
Best to you and your family.

A lot more people visit this page and there’s not a lot of commenting. Please feel free to talk about Dave or share some memories.
It’s been painful enough these last few years but at least now we can just cherish the memories of him and this is one way to do it.
