Good Bye Dave Hunter

I found out tonight artist Dave Hunter passed away. He was a great talent, great man and someone I wished I had a chance to meet in this life. I'm a loss for words so just going to repost what Emek mentioned on facebook. He went through so much and fought so hard to get his daughter back only to go through this ordeal is just heartbreaking.

RIP to Dave Hunter- a fellow poster artist and good guy. Much too young. You will be missed.
Dave succumbed to a very fast acting brain cancer. Our hearts go out to his daughter, Jasmine, his girlfriend, Megan Watters, his brother, Chris, and the rest of the Hunter family. 

They are still raising money to support his daughter Jasmine. Join if you can > https://www.youcaring.com/dave-756299


RIP Dave Hunter.

Please Help Dave Hunter Fight Brain Cancer

Dave Hunter is a great artist and great person that many of you know. Some of you may remember his fight and ordeal to get his daughter back from Europe a couple of years ago. Now Dave is in a fight for his life and with our help will prevail. Thanks to my buddy Wayne for giving me the heads up on this.

Here is the info from his fund raising page.

Many of you know by now that Dave Hunter is battling that beast known as brain cancer. He was diagnosed in October 2016 and was instantly caught up in the whirlwind of surgery, radiation and repeated rounds of chemotherapy.

Dave is a devoted single father and is strong and determined to beat this terrible thing so he can be around for years to see his daughter grow into adulthood.

While so many of you beautiful people have already reached out with your time and resources, others have asked how the best way to donate money is, so we decided to set this up on Dave's behalf. All funds will go towards Dave's medical, living and mounting legal expenses so that he can focus on healing his brain and getting back to his creative center.

All prayers, healing energies and good vibes welcome!

You can go to this PAGE HERE to Donate

You can also go to Dave Hunter's Website HERE and buy a poster to help as well.
