I just found out December 23/2020. I will miss him so much. Such a great guy. Always pleasant to my family at the gas station in Culpeper. I'm am so sorry for the loss.
Sadly, we just found out about David's passing today, Dec 16, 2020. My wife and I are among hundreds of people that camp and hike the trails at Shenandoah on a regular basis, and planned our visits to watch David play at night. For 7 or 8 years, we always looked forward to seeing David play in Skyland or Big Meadows, and we would always try to chat briefly with him after (or before) his concerts if we could. He was always fun to watch, and he really enjoyed playing for the crowds...people from all over the world enjoyed his shows and his performances added another level of enjoyment to their visit that they were not expecting. Many didn't even know how much he knew about music and his vast knowledge of different kinds of music, but he really knew a lot. We always tried to sneak in a good tip for him, because he was a very special person, and we knew he chose to follow his dream, rather than the money. We just watched the service online and cried a lot...tears for a special man with many special gifts as a musician and a person. We will miss him terribly on our next trip this Spring. I hope you can pass this memory on to his family...if not, please let me know and next time we pass through Culpepper on the way to Shenandoah, we'll stop at the garage and drop off a note. Thank you. Pete & Nancy Brown, Leonardtown, MD. ([email protected])
Ed and I were so deeply saddened by his passing! I never knew David much before planning travel for him. I enjoyed those moments so much! He pretty much came immediately following my son’s death & played at least 3 years for ‘Living the Dream’! He even came to meetings very often with Donna! We both watched the funeral and cried! What a wonderful caring soul on this earth! I feel blessed to know him! May God give each of you comfort and love during all the moments ahead!
Thinking of the Gilmore family and all the good times growing up - neighborhood fun, summer at the pool, the Grymes bus with Alan and David. David will be missed by the entire Culpeper community. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We cannot express how much David touched our lives. He is everything everybody says he is, and much much more. Donna you are in our prayers and just find some way to call me and chat sometime. Love you all,
Butch and Robie Mills
David was one in a million .. I feel lucky to have known him though for such a short time- Rest In Peace my friend we’ll great each other again shortly ❤️
Sending prayers of peace and comfort to all of you. I was so blessed to have known David. What a bright light he shone. No doubt he's got his wings on, he's strumming his guitar and singing and entertaining in Heaven! Rest in peace, sweet friend!
My heart goes out to you, Donna, and of course to David's other family. I am so happy I got to see that Pink Floyd show. I am so glad I had a beautiful last conversation with David a few weeks ago in the lobby of the library. And, it makes me so happy that he got to play his guitar! Truly a blessing.
David will live on in our hearts, and I am sure he will have a great music following in Heaven.
We feel so blessed to have enjoyed Dave’s musical talent for many years at various venues. He was so personable and friendly too. We feel such a loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and Donna who we’ve also enjoyed getting to know. This pic was from the last performance we attended at LOW. It’s such a fun memory. Rest In Peace sweet music man. 🎤🎼🎸🙏
