Memorial for David Richardson
Donation protected
Dave is a guy that needs no introduction: his name is written in the sky and in our hearts.
The sudden loss of Dave on July 5, 2020 has deeply affected everyone in our community. His contributions to The Ranch and the sport at large have left a legacy that will live on within all of us. Dave was wildly intelligent, kind and adventurous. He was a great friend to everyone he met, a madly in-love husband, and an awesome doggy dad to his puppy son Quinn.
His passion for the sport reverberated loudly both at his home DZ the Ranch (as our favorite “King Of The Pond”) and through his many adventures around the world. Dave met and learned from so many people during his cross country travels, and we had all come to adore his appetite to coach and willingness to share progression with others.
Our friend was “money.” As such, we are going to send him off with a memorial in Parachutist Magazine!
We are raising funds for a 2-page color memorial for Dave in the September 2020 issue of Parachutist. We are looking to raise at least $2500 to account for the cost of the memorial and associated fees. We have a small team working to raise funds and coordinate with the magazine. Any additional money raised beyond what is necessary for the memorial will go to support Dave’s loving wife, Basak, their beautiful dog, Quinn, as well as other services that honor his memory.
In the words of our great leader Eugene Zimmer: “Get in there, team!”
He will be deeply missed.
Much Love.
Thank you <3
