He spent many years at Twin Oaks Community in Virginia where he recently enjoyed a 50th Anniversary Celebration. David was committed to alternative energy technology, and was one of the first in the area to install solar panels on his home. He was passionate about organic farming and living sustainably and hoped to instill that passion in others
David was a peace activist and an advocate for the differently abled. He enjoyed traveling with his local chapter of ADAPT to demonstrate in support of disability rights and accessibility and could often be seen at area intersections standing for peace.

He is survived by his son, Emrys, and daughter-in -law, Karina. He was predeceased by his wife Renee, brother Ralph, and mother Geraldine.
