Condonlences to his family. I went to collect my car a little while after this tradegy and i think the police should have been a little more polite, telling people not to look and just go away - doesn't help anyone! There were people on the bridge watching! and i personally didn't want to see anything.

Didn't know Dave too well other than saying hello at Charlton. Never without a smile on his face and to go in circumstances like this is tragic beyond words.
RIP Dave.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts. David was a great son, father and husband. He saw the good in everyone and was always there with a joke and a smile. He worked in the advertising world and was known throughout the industry. David always thought of his family first and this is what killed him. He had left a toy car for his son and flowers for his wife on the train - something he bought every Friday. We are absolutely devastated at his loss and we can never see an end to the thoughts of this tragic time. Thank you all - it is a great comfort that we are receiving these messages.

Had the privilege of working with Dave on Charlton Live (Millennium FM) where he tech op'd the show for Mark Mansfield and co, we used to rib him rotten about his mullet - always took the jokes and gave as good as he got. As everyone has said, he was a decent, honest, nice bloke. Always smiling. Thoughts are with his family. RIP.

Dave, you always had me in fits of laughter. I will always remember heated discussions about your taste in 80's music and your bad taste in summer clothes. The world feels that more hollow without you in it and my heart is with Shelly and Daniel, your Mum and Dad and also with Nicky and Lyndsey during this terrible time.

My wife Sam and I shared a flat with Dave for about 2 years. During that time he ate nothing but cheese, pot noodles and bread.
His language got ever more colourful with each passing day and there was no escape from his 80's music taste, Charlton FC and bottles of sweet sherry.
Now that he has gone, we will treasure those times more than ever. His outlook was always positive and as everyone says here, he always had a smile on his face. I keep expecting him to walk through the door, bandying about his favourite expletive.
I have such happy memories of him and a sense of loss I have never felt before.
Our condolences go to Shelley, Daniel and all the family.

Dave is a legend. I was fortunate to be one of his away game buddies when times were good and Charlton used to entertain us all. Not as much as Dave though... he could brighten any day with his infectious humour and his irritating phrases (which he would repeat over and over again). Chin up Dave, thanks for coming.
It was a pleasure knowing you, my sincere condolences go to the loves of your life - Shelley, Daniel and of course your parents and sisters. You were a great friend to so many and will be sorely missed forever. Thanks for all the good times.

These messages are so comforting thank you. Dave did a crazy thing for me and Daniel and it cost him his life. I have lost my best friend and the love of my life. Daniel has lost a fantastic Daddy. To those of you who have not met Daniel he is just like Dave, beautiful, funny and mildly irritatiing. Dave was amazing he had a huge amount of energy and his wit was incredible. I have stories of Dave that make me cry with laughter. There is now a huge void in our lives Thank you for all your messages, Dave will be loving the limelight.
I know his last wishes and they are - "Celebrate his life and no to sad faces."
Dave I love you with all my heart - at night now Daniel and I kiss first then we have a kiss and a hug for you". Forever with me. Shelley.

Dave was the kindest, funniest person we have ever had the pleasure of working with. My sister and I worked with Dave at Partners BDDH where we enjoyed Dave’s various catch phrases on a daily basis – ‘sandwiches’ being one of our personal favorites. Being in touch with Dave only last week on email makes this tragic accident seem even more surreal. He will always be remembered by us for his unique infectious humor and cheeky grin.

Well you managed to avoid the thrashing I would have given you at snooker if we played again!! 1-0 to you! Such a great guy, always trying to get me to go for a drink after work (or during sometimes) and suceeding quite a few times! He will be sorely missed by all at AM and everyone that knew him. I'm so sorry Shelly and Daniel. My heart goes out to you.

I've known Dave for 22 years, he was my best friend,one of the most intelligent and definitely the funniest guy I have known. The world will be a much duller place without Dave and my thoughts are with Shelley,Daniel, Tony ,Kath, L& N at this very difficult time. Dave this quote is for you mate " I'm in a wheelbarrow and this time it's personal" R.I.P.Friend. Was an honour and a privilege to know you.

Dave was the sort of bloke who always made you smile, even if we'd just been thrashed 5-0! This is an absolute tragic loss and the E Block will never be the same. Our thoughts are especially with Shelley, Daniel and family and all those who knew and loved this wonderful man. RIP Dave

What can i say that hasnt been said already. He was my best mate since we met at school at 11, my best man at my wedding to Samantha and soon to be godfather to our daughter Daisy. We will all miss him terribly and I will make sure that Daisy knows all about him when she grows up (maybe not everything come to think of it). All of our thoughs are with Shelley and Daniel, Kath and Tony and Lindsey and Nichola at this sad time.

Only met Dave a few times and had not seen him for a while but knew him to be such fun and a nice person to be with. Found a photograph of him last Saturday, taken a few years ago, while clearing a cupboard out, and it made me laugh. That was before we heard the tragic news and now the world will be a sadder place without him. Our condolences go to all his family. x x

I Had the pleasure of working with Dave for the last 15 months,he was a nutter! a little ray of sunshine in suit, he always had a joke (some older than he was)He could also take a joke, a rare quality today.The office will be a sadder place without him, the desk behind me seems so very empty. My heart goes out to his beloved Shelly & Daniel.
Perhaps they can find some consolation in the wonderful memories they must have of him.
I'll miss you Davies

Such a tragic loss. I had the pleasure of working with Dave for 3 or so years. He never too life too seriously and could diffuse any situation with a joke and some foul language. I will treasure our meeting outside in the Square a few weeks back where we exchanged news. Will miss you mate. My condolences with all your family

Having work with Dave, played football with him (and against - scary!) and been responsible for descending upon him en masse with my fellow Watford fans each time we played at The Valley, I can honestly say that his hospitality, passion, wit & energy knew no bounds. A truly unique bloke. My hearfelt condolences go out to all his family.

I still can't believe this has happened. Or that I'm typing this.
Dave was a work colleague in the early 90's, a great friend ever since, and probably the funniest bloke I have ever known.
I will miss the endless abuse he would give me down the phone and whenever we got together for a pint, and as Alex Hinge said, his favourite expletive will never sound the same again.
My sincere condolences to Shelly and family.
Andy.

Dave, a very special larger than life man we were proud to call our son in law. Loving husband and father of Shelley and Daniel. His unique brand of humour will be sorely missed. Seven years ago he introduced us to Charlton Football Club (almost unheard of in North London), a team we have followed ever since.
Our thoughts and support during this very sad and tragic time are with Shelley, Daniel, Kathy, Tony, Nicky and Lyndsey.
Never to be forgotten.

I have just learned of this terrible news from my sister who very kindly contacted me.
I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Dave and being friends together during our teenage years. We did some really crazy things back then which still make me smile, he had an amazing ability to make you laugh, his sense of humour was just so infectious. If ever a person could truly be described as the "life and soul of the party" this would be Dave, always at the centre of everything.
Its heart warming to read all the wonderful comments posted here which show that Dave never changed from how I knew him.
[bold]You clearly meant so much, too so many people, in so many ways! God Bless Dave![/bold]

We laughed and danced together most of the evening.
All my guests commented on what a lovely and very funny guy and a gentleman David was.
Shelley, feel comforted by knowing that we will always be here for you and Daniel. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and David's family.

Everything said about Dave is true X 10, particularly when it comes to"life and soul" and "loud".
Dave sat between Rob and I at Charlton for 15 seasons.In the Pub before a match, Rob now has to talk to my left ear and I have to address his right ear, so we look like slow motion head bangers.
Never knew how much you meant to me until now, boy. Love you, Tramp.

I have had a heavy feeling in my heart all week since hearing this story and as a commuter on the Dartford line for nearly 30 years, taking it so much for granted, I am now so much more cautious.
Shelley - no words can express how you must be feeling at this time - but please do take comfort in the many words of support from those on this site who obviously loved Dave and have so such wonderful and fun memories of him. God Bless you and Daniel.

I knew Dave through business along with Andy Bird. Dave was a person that as soon as you met him you immeadiatly liked him. He wasn’t just funny, which he was, he was also sincere, great company but alas a Charlton fan. I wish I had met up with him more often than I did but alas in this (advertising) game it’s not always possible, and that return phone call sometimes never happens. I am shocked and sad at his death but will remember him fondly.
My sincere condolences to Shelly and family.

I met Dave twice, and I can honestly say they were amazing memories. Whenever we [Watford] played Charltomn away, my Dad immediately rang up Dave to arrange a drink. This season we met him and his friends in the conservative club near The Valley, there was a group of about 4/5 of us Watford fans of which he hadn't met apart from me and my dad but he talked and joked with them like he had known him all his life. I guess that was the kind of person he was. The stories he told I'll never forget espically the one where he fell asleep on the sofa for Charltons biggest game in the season, Palace away. When my dad told me the terrible news my toughts went immediately to his family.
RIP an inspiration.

What a sad and tragic loss. I knew Dave through our son's friendship at nursery. he was always smiling and very geniune. The last memory I have of him was recently when he was dropping Daniel off at nursery. He was stood outside laughing and waving as Daniel was jumping up and down waving goodbye at the window.
Love to Shelley and Daniel, stay strong.
Dave rest in peace.
