David, It doesnt seem real writing this only a few weeks after lunch to wish you all the best on your next adventure. I will remember you as someone who would ask how it is going and mean it. Whilst we now know time was precious I am grateful for the conversations we had and the support you provided. The last time I saw you was a good laugh (like many times before) and it is this that I will always remember. It is with deep sadness that I write this condolence message and I can only hope your family take some deep pride from the man you were. Wherever you are I hope you are continuing to fly high! Martin…

Sharp as a tack and quick as a flash Always a knack of keeping a stash (£££) Incredible wit Didn’t take sh*t Full of guile Wry smile Fortune teller Trouble smeller All over details (and pink cocktails) He would come and test you Then would come and rescue you Like a higher power Looking over us, looking after us Never made a fuss, financially flattering us Sometimes quiet, but always engaged Sometimes a riot, never outraged Brilliant and talented Resilient, multi-faceted Trusted colleague, peer, friend and boss A devastating and tragic loss David Dwyer Deeply admired And loved And now sorely missed …

David – you had something of the invincible about you, so it’s a great shock to hear you’ve gone. I can only send heartfelt condolences to your wife and young family who will have to go on without you. So very sad – but they’ll have wonderful memories. It says a lot that many of my memories of you are really of your children gatecrashing Teams meetings. Clearly so much love in your life. You’ll be so missed, Sarah…

My thoughts and very best wishes are with David’s family and close friends. He has gone far too soon and will no doubt be missed by so many people. I worked with David for a while at Capita. He was always so hard working, keen to do the right thing and always with excellent humour. I was so very sad to hear about his passing. Much love to you David. Dawn Marriott xx…

David, I’m writing this to you even though you are not here to read it any more. I never told you all this when you were alive, but really should have. You were one of the smartest, hardest working, most honest and funniest people I have ever known. We worked together for 6 years had a lot of fun, success, and adventures along the way (the ‘Fab Four’ visit to India with JT and JB comes to mind, which we managed to pretend was a business trip for at least some of the time – pic below), as well as plenty of shared frustration and disappointment. Whenever something untoward was happening at work, my Email, Text, or WhatsApp would light up with wisecracks from you making fun of the situation, which would always cheer me up. I particularly enjoyed the silly pictures and comments attached, or the video clips. I think the one from Yes Minister about ‘how to handle a crisis’ was perhaps my all-time favourite – I am laughing remembering as I type this. As well as being the consummate professional, who was very, very good at his job and widely respected for this (as Andy has…

My memories of David immediately make me smile. He was a phenomenal tallent at work, an accountant who really understood the numbers but also the business, the people and what motivated them. Maybe that’s how he’d risen to such a senior role at such a young age. He had an uncanny ability to predict what would go right and what would not – to smell trouble months before it would show up in reports. And usually, we were lucky enough that he’d have tucked away just enough – but not too much! He could be at the same time sarcastic and cynical – yet equally optimistic. He was passionate about the company and what we did. He loved that he worked for a business that actually did something really meaningful! (and would get angry when people forgot what it was all for). What makes me smile, is thinking about David’s sense of humour – and his wry smile as he never took it too seriously. I’ll choose to remember him, kicking back with a drink in his hand making us all laugh. Hopefully David, you’ll be sitting somewhere on a cloud, drink in hand – and feel free to…
