please help us continue dave's great work

On June 16th my brother Dave lost his battle with colon cancer. We are still stunned by his loss. Many have asked where to send donations in memory of Dave, and as a family we would like to point you towards the fund we’ve established in his name. We will be honoring Dave by giving a gift to two of the organizations where he had a significant impact: Hayfield Secondary School and The Pass/Tremaine Tennis and Education Foundation. 

As principal of Hayfield Secondary School, Dave had a huge effect on this school and its teachers, parents, and students. If you saw him in the last few years, chances are he was wearing bright orange and showing his school spirit, and he has been credited by the community for changing the entire climate of Hayfield for the better. Working with the school administrators, we have established a scholarship in his name and will also be making a gift to the school towards the programs he was passionate about.

Dave had a lifelong passion for the sport of tennis. He played at the University of South Carolina and also coached after college. He was active in the tennis community, including serving on the board of the Bob Pass Tennis and Education Foundation, which will soon be renamed the Pass/Tremaine Tennis and Education Foundation. Donations will be made to the foundation to support its mission to provide underprivileged youth the opportunity to better their lives through the game of tennis. 

As a family, we are collecting donations to one single fund and then will make our gifts from there. It’s such a small thing, but it’s the least we can do to further Dave’s work and influence. There is no obligation here, merely an opportunity to participate.

As sad as i am for your loss it brought a smile to my face to read that. So many of us yet so few that actually make a difference to others. I'd be happy to donate.

Yeah, buddy ... I've lost many people who loved and still love. There are still people in this world that I love, and I think, this is the cause why i not do something stupid. Be Strong, Jeff.

The world, people who care about us and the technology are all around us to forget death, and live the best!

So Sorry for your loss, Jeff, as I lamented the death of Ryan Dunn!

Come soon to Brazil, man! We want to meet you, and meet the Jackass crew! Bye!

I was so sad to hear about Dave's passing. I was a juniors tennis friend of his and he was just a great guy and a great tennis player.
