Forum member Maalox has passed away

mark christian

I received an email forwarded from Kasey that long time member David Maley, known to us all as Maalox, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. To be honest, I had no idea that he was ill, and if he ever made mention of his cancer in the forums I must have missed it. 

Details of his life and his funeral service can be found here:

Rest In Peace, Maalox.

In a line of a post he made on a thread I recall him writing he had something going on.   But he didn't give details or follow up on it.   I didn't ask at the time in respect to his privacy.  I figured he if wanted to share he would.   Perhaps I should have asked.

RIP David

He was such a sweet person.   His wife is equally kind and I'm certain she will miss him very much.      
He had sent me a message saying things weren't going very well, but asked that I not post about it on the forums.   I never know what to say to someone that is struggling and I wish I could go back and just send him more messages letting him know I cared.

Dave always offered great information on the latest semis, and I thank him gratefully for his insight on many guns that I may have purchased regretfully without his input. He posted many times about being sick, but never mentioned the heart of his battle. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to his family. I met Dave at the shot show when it was here in Orlando a few years back. I got Dave into the show on Saturday and we spent the whole day walking around the show and talking. He was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him that day. I knew of his battle with the cancer but he never complained on the forum much about it. He will be missed by me and many more on this forum. May he Rest In Peace.

Very sad news, I didn't know him but I never recall anything but positive contributions to the forum discussions. May he rest in peace and prayers for his family to receive peace in his passing.

Never new the man but what a small world.  I'm very familiar with the "Cavaliers", top notch group.  Also Rosemont.,  Il.  And my wife was from the next town over from Cicero!  Bless his soul.

Prayers for his family.  He sure seemed like a decent fella.

David was a class act. We spoke a couple of times years ago, and I feared the worst after not seeing him post lately considering I knew of his situation. RIP David,........and prayers asked for his wife and family.
