85
It is with a very heavy heart that I learned of Dave's passing.
Like so many others, I visited **eWillys** almost every day. Dave's passion for preserving Willys history, documenting Jeeps, and sharing knowledge inspired enthusiasts all over the world. His work will continue to educate and inspire future generations of Jeep owners.
I would also like to share something that many members of **The CJ3A Page** may not know.
In the summer of **2012**, after the members purchased The CJ3A Page from Jonathan George (Jeep Rescue), we faced the challenge of moving and preserving the entire website and forum. Dave immediately offered his help. He shared his knowledge, helped us set up hosting with Midphase, guided us through the technical migration, and made sure we could successfully transfer the site without losing the community that Jonathan had built.
Looking back today, I realize that The CJ3A Page might not have remained online without the generosity and support of people like Dave.
Over the last fourteen years, thousands of Willys enthusiasts have continued to benefit from this community. Every discussion, every technical article, every photo, and every friendship formed here owes a small debt to the people who quietly stepped forward when help was needed. Dave was one of those people.
On behalf of The CJ3A Page community, I want to offer my deepest condolences to Brenda, his family, and everyone whose life he touched.
Thank you, Dave, for your friendship, your kindness, your knowledge, and for helping preserve a community that continues to bring Willys enthusiasts together every single day.
I like to think that Dave is already exploring another old Jeep trail somewhere, discovering history that the rest of us haven't found yet.
Rest in peace, my friend. We'll keep the history alive.
