He passed away on July 17, 2020, and in his obituary is stated as follows: “Dave's early experiences bridging cultures and surviving a serious illness, combined with his naturally observant character, shaped a lifetime of wry and generous observation and care that would eventually interconnect in ministry, and hospice social work, and mental health counseling. … As a social worker, Dave's spiritual training, powers of observation, and profound empathy were perfectly suited
to his work. He cared for his patients with warmth and sensitivity, and formed lifelong friendship with his coworkers.” David has also edited Shoshichi Nakazawa: Thomas Clay Winn~The Life of an American Missionary in Early Modern Japan, Kohro-sha, 2004.
