RIP David Castle

[HeySal]

I just got the most horrible news from a fellow warrior.

David Castle has died. He had an aggressive cancer that took him quite swiftly and he finally succumbed on Saturday.

God go with you, David. You were a true friend and Warrior and you will be very missed. I'll see you on the other side, guy....but not just yet.

[DennisM]

So Sad,

What a great guy. Really contributed and was an SEO genius. God bless to his family. He'll be sorely missed here on the forum.

Thanks for sharing Sal,

Dennis

[TimPhelan]

Wow. That's shocking. David was a great guy. RIP David. :-(

[garyv]

Very Sad - what an awesome guy he was. He'll be sorely missed.

[MacFreddie]

Very sad indeed. His last post was July 13.

I just found out last night that a friend of mine who is only 44 has cancer, he just had his first child 6 months ago.

Cancer sucks.

[Barbara Eyre]

My condolences to his family. Am so so sorry to hear.

[Jared Alberghini]

RIP CTABUK, you will be missed.

As Sal mentioned... see you on the other side

Yes, that's an understatement for sure.

My wife and I just participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life this past Saturday.

A pediatrician who recently got cancer gave a speech at the event and really spelled it out -- just about everyone will be touched by cancer. Either you'll get it, or someone very close to you will get it.

My condolences to the friends and family of David Castle.

That nut! Just like him to pull a crazy stunt like this...

He's probably jamming with Hendrix now.

[Jagged]

Sad....R.I.P. David...
I'm relieved a bit in knowing his end came swiftly......Cancer can be such a painful, humiliating, drawn out illness...
My condolences to his family.

RIP David. My heart goes out to the family.

[Jeff Henshaw]

A friend of mine, she was 45 years old and a mother of two children (her youngest daughter aged only 10 years) died in the early hours of this morning from an aggressive brain cancer.

I have lost many friends and family to various types of cancer. Let's just hope that some time in the near future, there will be cures found for all forms of it.

My deepest sympathy goes out to David Castle and his family.

Jeff Henshaw.

This news just made an already bad day horrible.

RIP.

[HeySal]

Leslie - if you are reading this:

I am so stunned by this news that I don't know what to say. I am sure you and the rest of the family are devastated and so wish there were something I could say to ease the pain of your loss.

David and I were in a discussion via pm not more than a few weeks ago and one day he just didn't answer. I assumed he was just busy. He had never let on.....never complained....never once dropped a hint that all was not as normal. He was mentally sharp and decisive as always, and was a wealth of information and humor, right up to the last.

David was a wonderful human being and role model. He truly earned his status as a Warrior, in real life as well as in the forum. I think that I can speak for many here.........he was well loved and highly respected...he will not be forgotten.

My sincerest condolences and affection to you and the rest of the family.

[Patrician]

I am in shock and choose to be in denial right now, at least until I get my head around this.

This better be some kind of sucky publicity stunt.

I haven't talked to David in a while though, so I dunno.

I do know that he is/was a very dear and loving person with a great sense of humor. What more could anyone ask for.

If this is true, my condolences to his family and friends.

Whether true or not, I know we will see him again someday.

David if you can see this, you better 'speak now or forever hold your piece'.

(my favorite line of David's was when he was telling a joke, he would say, before the punch line, 'wait for it'.

I am waiting for it...

God Bless and thanks.

[ecoverartist]

Oh wow... I didn't know him that well but I definitely recognize the name. It really gives you a sinking feeling when a fellow warrior passes on.

Peace and prayers...

[Michael Mayo]

Wow, This info shell shocked me!

David was a very nice person that gave with out question.
My Family's prayers go out to David and his Family.

RIP David.

[Kevin Riley]

David was supposed to meet Rieko and me in Oxford for lunch. He stood me up. Now I see it was so he could jam with Hendrix. I'll miss the old codger.

Pat, unfortunately it seems it's no stunt. Leslie e-mailed me the sad news. David had missed our lunch as he had to go to the doctor. All so sudden.

I was thinking something similar.

May his family find peace and comfort.

David, I have a hard time saying goodbyes, so I'll simple say - Later dude!

[warriortx]

Please send my condolences to the family.

[Diana Lane]

How very sad. Another Warrior loss this year. I sometimes wish there were more opportunities on here to let people know how valued they are while they're still around. You'll be missed, David. Rest in peace.

[Rick McCombs]

RIP David. I will miss your sense of humor. My condolences to the family.

[KrisMainieri]

RIP DAVID. :-(

[gareth]

Damn - He was a character

I will miss his jokes

I hate when warriors die.

[John Taylor]

David and his family will be in my
thoughts and prayers. He was a
really nice guy and will be sorely
missed.

My condolences to his family. He was really good with SEO and I really shocked to read this.

Hi guys,

I'm a moderator at Seoers.org (formally davidcastle.org) which is a UK based SEO/Online Marketing forum that David set-up some years ago. David invited me to the forum about 2 years ago and in that time I've met some great new people and made some great new friends. I've also made big head way in my SEO carreer and I've met some of my best industry contacts. But mostly I've had a right old barrel of laughs!!!

Me and David debated (argued!) like mad over industry issues but we had many a great chat about music, which he loved more than anything I think. I'll never forget his many forum posts featuring HUGE exerts from his Michael Fane book. Maybe now i'll be able to find the time to actually read it! But, as is life, we are always too busy at the time and only when time has run out do we realise where our priorities should have lied.

The team at Seoers.org (including david) had been working hard to get the site moving in the right direction. This included dropping the david castle domain name and replacing it with Seoers.org. I wasnt really sure why david wanted to do this at the time as I believed the David Castle name was brandable enough for the site to do well.

Now it makes sense... As do a few things which I will keep to myself...

Thanks David. You've helped me out a lot! You will be missed and I never did get that signed copy of the book!

Lost but not forgotten.

Matt

RIP David Castle.

This is really depressing. Seeing another person fall to cancer. A very close family member of mine just contracted cancer and the source cannot be detected. It's spreading real fast and I don't know what to do nor deal with it.

What terrible news, it's like losing a member of the family when a warrior dies

RIP David

My prayers go to David's family. So sad to hear this. For all of you WF members that knew David, be strong too. Sad days when a friend pass away.

[Kevin Riley]

Leslie just e-mailed me with the following message "David’s funeral will be on Monday, 24th August, at 11.30 a.m. Donington, St Mary and the Holy Rood Parish Church."

[bhackett]

How awful. We all loved him. RIP David.

In response to all of the messages of condolence, David's dear wife Leslie would like to express her sincere appreciation to all of his colleagues and friends here at the WarriorForum.

I know he really enjoyed what he did. I'd often hear him burst out laughing and I'd call through to his office "haven't you got any work to do?". His answer was always the same "this is work!!!".

David got a great deal of pleasure, and sometimes downright fun, from his contact with all of you. If there's an internet in heaven I just know he'll be straight in organizing everyone.

Amidst this most difficult of times, I have found great comfort in the kind words and thoughts expressed by members of the many online communities in which he participated.

David would have been very humbled and honoured.

[nuclei]

David was really one of the good guys, he will be sorely missed by all of us.

RIP David, he was a very nice kind man

[Cynthia Minnaar]

My condolences to David's family.

RIP David - you will certainly be missed - you helped me so much in your forum when I first got started - for which I am truly thankful.

[ultimatehandyman]

Really sad news.

I remember David from his days on what used to be TWT, he was always a really helpful guy.

RIP David.

[Michael Oksa]

What sad news.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to David's family and friends - of which there were many.

Another one of the greats has escaped this mortal coil, he will be missed...he will be remembered.

Thoughts and prayers,
Michael

[KimW]

I didn't know him as well as some others, but the short time I did was worth it.
RIP CTABUK.

[mlevenhagen]

I'm crushed... sad news.

I haven't chatted much with him the last few years.. got to know him well back when I was active at WPW (2004.. before I was even a member here at the Warriors) and a couple other smaller forums. He became a fast friend.. loved his smarts, humor and wit.

Even though we didn't cross paths much these days, I'm sad I won't see him again; or have a chance..

My condolences to his family.
