Bernard DrimanThe supervising director of the show also paid tribute to his long-time colleague, and posted a sketch of Dave on Twitter and posted a photo of a tree house Dave built around bonsai plants. This work is excellent.

Another great passion of Dave is skydiving. There are plenty of videos in his Instagram feed showing him jumping.
The last video he posted was on December 28, and he captioned it: “Break a bit steeply at 5,000 feet.” He added the labels “adrenaline”, “happiness”, “meat bomb” and “fun”.
The exporter CartoonBrew first reported his death.
Waiting for your permission to load Instagram Media.
