It’s with a very heavy heart that I must inform all my friends that my dear, dear Davyd took his own life, probably sometime yesterday. Davyd had struggled with various psychological issues for quite some time; sometimes better, sometimes worse, but neither I or his doctors saw this coming and it has been a shocking, devastating blow to me, and to our close friends and family. I am already receiving many messages of condolence, so I wanted to go ahead and tell people, so there wouldn’t be rumors and talk and questions.

I cannot begin to express how much I loved this man. He was a genius, an amazing artist, a devoted companion; truly the light of my life, the perfect companion for me, and he made me happy every single day of the ten years we spent together. Ultimately I think he was such a sensitive soul that this world became too much for him. But I was lucky to be with him, in the light as well as the shadow, and I’m only sorry that at the end I wasn’t able to see that he was slipping away from me. I’m still in a state of shock but we will soon be organizing something to celebrate this extraordinary human being and I will post it here when I know. I will miss him so very, very much. He was the best person I ever knew. And on whatever level he can still hear my voice, I love you, Davyd. My love surrounds you on your journey forward and will abide forever.
