Don't know what to say, that's just really sad news :sad:.

[squidinc]

I've known Dan for quite a while from renderosity, I'm not really sure what to say, this is tragic news, the world can be very unfair

[pit]

Very, very sad news - I feel numb.
You´ll be missed, Dan!
My heartfelt condolences to his family.

[Halogen]

So tragic... He was a good artist and a great bloke :(. Such a sad event.
As Shademaster said, "My condolances to his family and everyone who knew him."

:(

[AdamT]

Really horrible. I only got to know Dan in the last few months, but he was a good artist and, more importantly, a very decent man. We will certainly miss him very much.

[sanciok]

Very sad news... i really don't know what to say...
:sad:

[JoelOtron]

I'm glad we got to know him through his work and his posts which were always friendly and thoughtful.

Seeing his and ohers' photo in the "How Old" thread helped me feel like I was talking to real people.

This makes the tragic news all the more shocking. My condolences to Dan's Wife, Brother and family. His robots were very inspiring to me.

His family and friends have my deepest condolances.

[Brucie Rosch]

sad news... Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

[Martin Kay]

I'm absolutely devasted at that news, So sad, so tragic. I remember encouraging him to start reposting his work on renderosity after he had been subject to some unpleasant flames.
Really sad and tragic for his family. Good bye Dano.

[IanMJ]

Our thoughts are with you.

Take care.

[sebek27]

[RaymondSalter]

I pray his family finds the strength as they go through this sad time.

[FredSpeaks]

[RusMan]

man, this is so sad, I couldn't believe it, he was a very talented artist. Life is so unfair:shrug: . My condolences to his family, we will all miss him.

[Boone]

I heard about what happened to Dan in another thread. I thought I would just stop by the C4D forum to say I feel for those who knew him.

Like I said in the other thread, My heart goes out to his friends & loved-ones.

[michaeli]

A very sad news.....


Take care.

[randyrives]

I had to sit for awhile, I am just Stun. I have known Dan's work for renderosity for a long time.

I will miss seeing his work and his helpful atitude.


My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

[darf]

Good journey Dan.

My thoughts are with your family and friends...



darf

[manlio]

I'm really really so sad for this terrible fact, condolences to his family.

[tapaul]

Dano , your star was strong and bright and im happy that i got to see you shine.

rest in peace Dan Davis.

[Erik Heyninck]

Having just miraculously survived a car accident in France, reading this makes me revive those moments. It goes so fast...

I am very sad to have to read this. He was indeed one of us, the creative family and he will be missed a lot.

My thoughts also go to you, his brother and everyone who personally knew him. May time heal your wounds and may he live in your memories as he will in ours.

[Deestrakt]

i really think he'll be missed here. i remember his enthousiasm and great state of mind in this forum. i knew him just a little, but this terrible news is a shock. my condoleances go to his family and friends :sad:

[Wilson-3d]

My wife always jokes "are you up their talking to all your virtual friends again?". You get use to seeing each other around and I will miss him and his work. My deepest regrets to his family and friends.

[caraffi]

being new here I never had the chance to exchange w him, although i had run across his volumetric light study and was certainly impressed w his skill level, always a shame when anyones life is cut short in a tragic accident, made me pause and reflect at how little time we have on this orb. Dano may God have a fresh copy of C4D waiting for you m8, and my condolences to your family during these tragic times. Bp+

[smoke]

I didn't know him well, but liked to see the stuff he created.
Always looked forward to seeing what he would do next.

My condolences to his family and friends.

[flingster]

oooh my god....

this is unexpected to say the least.
he was an excellent contributor to this community with a very friendly manner....it was always great fun reading his posts/comments and looking at his artwork.

god bless his family and best regards to them in the future.

[CosmicBear]

that's terrible.

he will not be forgotten because of his art and - more importantly - because of the love he had for his family and friends and the love they gave to him.

i hope his family will find the strength for the upcoming time.

[Mahlikus]

Its a GD shame! I didn't know him much either save through his artwork. Which reminds me, its even more of a GD shame the his Rosity gallery has been cleaned. That pisses me off to know ends!
My condolences to his family and friends. I'll crush a cup of wine for you tonight bud.:sad:

[miketche]

I spoke with Dan very often. He told me once that he regularly cleaned out his own gallery as sort of an artistic cleansing. He may have cleaned it out on his own just before his passing. Don't know if that's really the case here or not.

I sure will miss him.:sad:

[mnu]

I'm very sorry to hear this. Don't know what to say

[Mentat7]

This was an incredibly shocking bit of news to wake up to this morning. So often going to various forums one just sees names and avatars......the real people behind them become just a enigma of reality......you get used to them being "electronic" people. It is a testament to one's presence the effect one has on a community of "strangers" when something like this happens. I suddenly felt very saddened and my heart was burdened. I will keep your memory alive Dano and will with all my heart and spirit try to maintain the standards by which everyone here has been attributing you....friendliness, merit, helpfulness, just all around good guy and great artist. God speed and bless you and your family.

[derwolpertinger]

really sad news, i am shocked, dunno what to say. we'll miss him for sure....

[JamesMK]

I haven't been around here for long enough to know who this is - but nevertheless it is always a total tragedy when people pass away that way, without having grown really old yet.
Very sad news indeed...

[miketche]

For those who would like to see. Here is a link to some of Dandavis' C4D work on Renderosity.


The art of Dandavis (http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12400&Form.ShowMessage=1307976)

[fdb]

I'm very pleased to see at least a small selection of Dans work back up, it was sad to think that his work may of never been seen again, i got some great ideas and techniques from his work and i reckon others should in the future too. :)

[grstovell]

To the C4D community and Dan's family:

I believe it is safe to say that all of our posts fall short of expressing our sense of loss and appreciation for Dan's life and work. They are only words - and yet... in this media, words are really all we have. So I pray these words will provide a moment of peace and comfort in an otherwise terribly difficult moment.

To his family, and to this great C4D family, peace be with you.

-Greg

Stu.

[flingster]

It's already sticky, it will be sticky for a while and i think it's enough. It'd be useless to have it there forever, and i guess that after some time nobody would pay attention to it anymore, which would mean a great lack of respect. Let me know what you others think.

[Per-Anders]

I think that:

While it's respectful to remember, we shouldn't dwell and keep a morbid atmosphere here, after all I think that he came accross as anything but a morbid person, anything but.

So i think it would be better if we as artists were to be creative about this, and instead make works that are testaments to Dan. Works inspired by his works and life. Works to the memory of Dan. Lets instead of lingering on the death celebrate the life. Something positive, like he was.

I hope I have not come accross as offensive at all to anyone here. It's very hard to discuss these things, I guess my sentiments are those hardwired into me from being from a line of artists.

[JIII]

Keep the thread sticky for 2 weeks from the time it as posted. This is the standard time for flags to be lowered. I think this is the same kind of situation.

[miketche]

Agreed, I don't think Dan would have wanted us to dwell on this forever. He would have wanted us to move on and be as creative and artistic as we can be.

It certainly is a great loss. Dan and I talked all the time. I have a great emptiness in me. But we all need to move on.

[kiwi]

Ya agreed :)



I didnt mean long term just for a few weeks like JIII suggested.



Stu.

[Thierry HL]

Good bye Dan

you will be in your heart forever

peace

[MJV]

Oh God! I am so sorry. I admired Dan greatly for his easygoing and friendly character, and I always enjoyed hearing from him. It's weird how you can come to know someone so well just through the internet, and be so saddened at their loss. Dan was a really great guy. We all lost a good friend.

God speed and best regards.

Michael Vance

[turx]

Impossible!!! It can't be!

my dear friend Dano..
I'll miss you..


we didn't see eachother on the world,
but i hope and believe we'll meet on the heaven.

[B-A-R]

You will be missed but remembered...
My condolences go out to the family and friends of Dan..

[Brent Turbo]

Dan will be remembered as an artist, and a gentleman. He treated everyone on these forums with great respect, which truly reflects his character. We'll miss you, Dan.

[castroman]

very sad indeed. may you rest in peace.

[tomphillips]

Dan was so humble about his artisitic ability. Did he even imagine how he touched the lives of those who he came into contact with.

Rest in peace, my friend. Much love.

[JulianJohnson]

it's a very very sad loss, i remember him well. its a terrible thing to happen to any one.

best wishes to his family

[prodag]

Condolances. We have lost a great artist.
