He has been entered into hospice care and is on his final weeks. If anybody would like to help, I am raising money for his cremation and any other expenses he has after he passes. gofundme.com/2v6zxfck Thank you everybody.

So sorry to hear this news. Always liked BMD. Prayers and positivity coming your way. Hope you and your family are able to get the funds you need. Bless up Nick!! [Reply]
This place has been a great refuge over the years. I owe people like him a great deal. Might not post a lot, but you still get to know people from afar.
Seemed like a great guy. God bless him and your family. [Reply]
I am saddened to see this in ways I hope none of the rest of you ever will be, those who have not had cancer. Dave was a big supporter in my fight against cancer, and we pm'ed quite a bit. I truly wished he'd be around after I was gone and many years more. I pray he does not suffer and passes peacefully. [Reply]
I'll add that everyone I've met from this site in real life has been top notch. There is a fair number of trolls around and some shit slinging, but anyone that puts themselves out there from this site has been top notch in my experience.
It may seem like a weird deal, but it really is a community here. People come for the football and stay for the people. [Reply]
BMD was always a gentleman. He was never afraid to tell you what he thought, but he was always tactful about it regardless if he was agreeing or disagreeing with you. He shared a lot on here about his life. I believe it was an anonymous way to let things out, but I also believe he had hopes that someone would read something that helped them in their own life. He will truly be missed. [Reply]
