Of course the Bougie Snob didn’t put an obit in the ATLANTA paper. It’s in the Macon Telegraph, where no one will see it.
The obit was posted, but is now gone. If you want to read it, it’s behind the cut at the end of this post. It’s really lame and the charities are SO wrong. I can do better:
David Klepsig
Born Feb 13, 1958; died Oct 30, 2006 while sleeping in his bed at home. He was 48 years old.
Before David lost his vision to diabetes, he created beautiful pointillist art in black ink. David always loved to play guitar and write songs. He played acoustic, electric, 12 string as well as a little bass. He collected guitars like women buy shoes. Dave’s lyrics stand just as well as poetry as they do with a tune. Later in his life, David got into the DJ trade. He trained with Evil Z here in Atlanta and he played several raves around town. Using a DJ deck and software that was designed strictly for the sighted, Dave learned to use this equipment and create live trance mixes that totally rocked! His music collection was impressive. Although Dave’s life was not easy due to the ravages of diabetes, he always made the best of his situation and he lived life to the fullest. We will miss him and we will see that his musical legacy lives on. Please make donations to the American Diabetes Association or the Center for the Visually Impaired in Atlanta GA.
There. That should do it. :-)
I have closed comments on this post and put a separate page up for Dave. You can add your memories and contact other friends of Dave on the static page. Thanks!
