David touched the lives of many people on many different levels.
He always had a smile on his face and had a way of always putting a smile on the face of everybody around him. He will remain in our hearts and we will miss him dearly.
David’s family would like to thank everybody for there heartfelt support as we all mourn the loss of a true gentleman.

| Joshie Han | 5/5/2009 1:00:27 PM-PST #1 | | | Hey Davey.... im at work and i started think about this girl i knew that passed away in a car accident, which than lead me to think about you. Sorry, its a horrible way to rekindle a memory. Remember how we used to ride bikes at 12am, and come back hours later. I never said thanks. Thank you for riding with me. I knew at times you were swamped with work or you were just too tired but you still rode with me. You made me a better cyclist, a better friend, and also a better man. I know for certain that even though we had conflicting schedules, and havent contacted with each other for weeks months and even years, we both can pick the same conversation we last had together. It seems that this is so informal for you and i. I understand that you did what had to be done. You are an amazing brother, uncle, grandson, and son. A true 'mama's boy.' Everybody misses you, but life still goes on friend. Regardless what may deter my ambitions, i wont be held down from capturing my dream.
I love you with so much heart...
i wont stop my grind until you and i are made.

| Rebecca Kittle | 2/19/2009 7:18:28 AM-PST #2 | | | Dave,
I wrote out my message to you to post a few days after I heard the news. Here it is 2 months later - I was reluctant to let go and accept that you passed. I seem to see you everywhere now: in music, in stories, in clothing styles...people even look like you on the streets of NYC! Imagine that...
Thank you for the creativity and genius you brought directly & indirectly to my & many others' lives. You left a legacy in the company as well as our hearts. Although you are missed, I believe you're now exploring the universe in the most radical way :) Peace

| Amy B | 1/13/2009 10:59:08 AM-PST #3 | | | Dave was a true inspiration to how we should all live. He was a true friend to everyone who knew him. I remember the last time I saw Dave was when we all went to see the movie Wanted. We had the tickets to see the first show, but a few people couldn't get in. We switched our tickets so we could hang out with Dave, and a few others. That was my last memory of him. Anytime I think of Dave I remember how much life, and excitement he brought to everyone and everything around him. You will always be in our hearts.

| Marc Rothenberg | 1/4/2009 9:01:30 AM-PST #4 | | | Dave was someone I always looked at with admiration. He always greeted people by name with one of the world's biggest smiles. The work he did to bring everyone closer together in and out of business was amazing. I will truly miss him. His spirit will live in all of us.

| Lydia | 12/30/2008 11:31:38 PM-PST #6 | | | Dave to me. I knew him for a short while. Limited interations and not entirely. However, of him I know that when he was with you, he was with you! There in that moment, patiently and astutely guiding your discovery. Although we come from the same place, his clarity far perceded mine and anyone elses' for that matter, other than Dennis. I regret not having develop a friendship. I regret not having more time to ever know him and learn from him.
Thank you Dave for all you did for me and for all! I know you are still here.

| HQ | 12/30/2008 3:28:42 PM-PST #7 | | | I've heard good things about you.

Looks like you've touched many. many others in your life.
And still continuing doing so.

| | 12/29/2008 5:34:15 PM-PST #8 | | | Hi Dave,
I actually didn't have the pleasure to meet you. I didn't feel right leaving you anything at first. I was at your ceremony, I couldn't help but to break down. It's weird because looking at your pictures I felt like you were there, like you werent gone. Some how I felt like I knew you. I remeber the only time we even "talked" if you can call it that was through yadda. I know the team misses you, and will for ever be in our hearts. Thank you for all the beautiful memories you left behind for the newest distributors. :D
with love & admiration,
Laura

| Diana Chuong :) | 12/27/2008 5:42:33 PM-PST #10 | | | Dave,
I remember when I first met you in New York and I didn't really know who you were and I came up to you for a picture and you laughed and took it with me. I still remember that the night before my flight back to California, I saw you outside of the Convention Center and you asked me where I was from. I remember the long talk that we had about the company, the advice, the jokes, the faces, and the encouragements that you gave me. It saddens me to think that I will never be able to have those long talks with you again and I will never get the chance to get to know you even better but by reading all the entries that people have submitted about you, you are truly one of a kind. :) Thank you!
D.C.

| Mili | 12/26/2008 3:27:17 PM-PST #11 | | | Hi Dave: Im writing to you in english because I know you will understand my bad english. We shared many moments together and many interesting conversations (rat conversations as we always said). I will always remember you, specially the time you lived at my house. We were doing the basic trainning video, and you had to sing and dance "Mili Wonka" behind the camera to take out of me a great "smile" and put that smile on that video. We (mori, you and me) laugh and laugh many hours with all the silly things you had to do to share a good video....... I feel you are one of the greatest people this world has ever had... I will miss you ... I love you dave....

| Tanya Payano | 12/26/2008 11:21:00 AM-PST #12 | | | Dave, I know you may not be able to see the words on this screen, but I hope with all my heart that you can feel them wherever you are. It has been so long that I have been away, I did not know of the news until just now...and I am in disbelief. When I think of you, I remember your wonderful and contagious smile and warm aura. I am remembering right now when we were in Monterrey, MX in '07. It was the middle of the day and we were just talking and talking in the 2nd floor lobby, on those super comfy couches the hotel had. Next thing you know, there were about 30-50 other reps wanting to be in your company as well, asking questions and getting to know you. Someone had come up to you and asked you a question, being somewhat of a smartass lol...and Dave, I have never seen someone remain so humble and not break character after someone purposely tries to make you feel uncomfortable or offend you. You answered that person's question and although they tried so hard to break you, you showed that you were so much more, that you were better than that. I was so proud, and my admiration for you grew so much from that short experience. You were not even "trying" to keep your cool or anything...it was simply you, Dave. That is simply the way you are. Genuine. Happy. Wonderful.
As I started to write this letter, I couldnt hold back my tears and I felt incredibly sad...now that I have written out to you what I feel, I am no longer crying, but cherishing the good memories. I miss you dearly, but I know that we will see each other again; and on that day, we'll sit together and read about this story, and laugh together.
Love,
Tanya Payano

| Claudia Niemeyer | 12/26/2008 10:35:19 AM-PST #14 | | | The first time I heard about Dave and saw him, was when he received a big bonus check from Dennis. That was back in Puerto Vallarta at Yor's Anniversary event. A very young, thin man, with a big smile stepped up the podium to recieve his prize. He seemed shy and humble, but yet friendly and joyful.
Then I had the chance to meet him personally at YOR-IN in Monterrey where he took many pictures of all of us, laughing, goofing around, celebrating, learning and sharing.
I guess all this was part of Dave, a very noble man that will be deeply missed in the community. Thank you for being with us and for sharing the essence of you.

| John Zhong | 12/25/2008 7:22:10 PM-PST #15 | | | Hey Dave,
I want to give thanks for you done for us and for the company and yor accomplishments. You left a legacy in which many lives were touch. I can't believe you are gone because you are inspiration to me. The way you carry yourself, your Cali swagger bring it to the east coast. I remember I met you at YOR In at NY07 and we played basketball and bowling. I want to give my respects and appreciate the life you had and i know you live your fullest. R.I.P Dave, you will always be missed in our hearts.

| Joseph Chui | 12/25/2008 4:38:31 PM-PST #16 | | | Davey Dave Dave!! When I heard of Dave's passing, memories started flashing back like a hundred pictures flashing thru my head. Mostly of all the different outfits Dave would wear, but every memory was the same, it was of Dave laughing and smiling while taking pictures, riding his bike, cooking organic foods, stressing over the Yor In book, coming up with new trainings, kidnapping Michael’s dog Yoshi, talking about how great APPLE is, imitating every single stand up comedy joke he can remember, edifying everything he watched like it was the best show/movie on earth, debating with Michael and always losing........... I can’t really be sad when thinking about Dave, b/c all he ever left behind were great memories for me.
Everyday I would come home he would ask me the same exact question, right when I popped thru the door, "Soooooo, how was yor day? How did it go? What did you learn? Tell me about that person? How did you feel about that?" Then he would ask me if he could cook me food, before I could answer he was already off whipping up some craziness in the kitchen, 4-5 frying pans, ingredients I would never dare put together, but at the end of it, the food was always good to me.
Thru Dave I saw that people can change, because when I first met him, I didn’t like him very much, he would always talk about what he would do and what he had, very opinionated in a bias way. But after he had spent some time with Dennis, he no longer spoke about himself; he was more interested in what other people were thinking and their opinions. To me what he achieved was the ability to truly “connect” to other people. He connected with me thru his constant inquiries of my day and with others maybe a different way. I am striving still to become what Dave has already achieved here on earth: a true friend to all
I wish I had the proper vocabulary and language to really paint a picture of Dave for everyone reading this. You would just have to imagine sitting in yor house, then out of no where hearing loud music roaring from a Nissan 350z, probably mike jones, white strips, or radiohead, then screeching to a halting stop a small korean guy steps out with kanye west glasses, a button down sweater, scarf around his neck, tight jeans tucked into his ankle high boots and slicked sideways hair like Clark Kent. He would then point into the sky like the jabowockeez did after they won “America’s Next Best Dance Crew” (doing it now for you Dave)
Thank you Dave for everything you’ve done for the company, for the team, for me. In these last 6 years I’ve gotten to know you, you’ve been a great friend and role model. You’ve had a great life, a fulfilled life, and experienced what some who live a entire lifetime do not experience, I know you are happy. I will to return the favor to you by being the friend you were to me, to all around me. Watch over us as we go on this journey. I love you, see you soon.

| Alexander Vargas | 12/25/2008 8:20:04 AM-PST #17 | | | David you gave so much for us. We thank you for putting your heart on everything you do. Especially the "Connect CDs." I would watch it whenever I feel i have dout. After finishing it, it left me with aw. I always thought that Dennis have a team on it, but i was told at the time it done all by one guy. The next event I went, I was watching David. Going up and down the rows. Taking multipules photos, always moving. Looking at him with such focus, and pride.
After seeing that it made me look at myself. David's actions made me believe more of the company and myself. I would over hear his conversation with the people in the company. He's always so easy to talk to, and always smiling.
One of my favorite event was an old Las Vegas Event. They brought up David to speak. When he was talking to the audience. It felt i was hearing an old friend. So honet and true to himself. I always remember that event.
David thank for your hard work. You always be my heart and my soul. I will make sure I will take pride in Yor, as you did.

| Oswaldo Reyes | 12/24/2008 7:34:18 PM-PST #18 | | | It’s a shame we never got to meet each other in person, When getting the news of him passing away I couldn’t sleep. Remember 2 years ago I remember watching Dave work; I was truly amazed how talented and creative he was. When I would get home, I would replay his work over and over again online. Always asking myself “how the heck does he do it?” from watching his work, I wanted some how to be filmmaker, but two things got in my way, I didn’t know where to start. Second I didn’t know how people would react if I told them, so I never told anyone. I then started messaging Dave on yyada and asked him whole lot of question on his work. I remembered he message me, about one of his project took a whole month to complete. I was just excited. I just started making video myself even when I had no clue what I was doing; mostly slide pic music video I was making at the time. It’s was fun and I finally understood why Dave did what he did. My favorite video he did was called “Eyes Inspired ll”. I took a whole lot advice from Dave Hong from yyada. From every editing software, type of cameras etc, it’s a shame now that I am in film school and when my short film won a award, I always wanted to thank him because of his outstanding work, I would have never dream of getting into films. I consider him my first mentor in filmmaking. I will always remember him by Mr. Connect.
“Dave the next short film and award is for you I promise”…thanks”- Wally

| Cara Eng | 12/24/2008 9:58:38 AM-PST #19 | | | David. Just hearing his name would put a smile on my face. Even David, at the age of 14, had to be one of the most interesting, intellectual people I had ever spoken to. Our in depth conversations about everything would continue until the early morning hours had arrived and were no longer able to be attentive to each other.
David had an awesome spirit about him. He was a great friend to my brother Ryan, a committed loving son to his mother & sisters, and was all about others, never himself. David made such a positive impact in so many people’s lives including my own.
I know I will never meet another David Hong again, but am content, and thankful for the fact that I was able to know and love one. Just because he is gone does not mean we have to stop loving him.
I will never forget you Dave. Thank you for being such a wonderful human being.
Love,
Cara

| Mark Reid | 12/23/2008 2:00:29 PM-PST #20 | | | When I think of Dave a lot of feeling come to my mind but the one that sticks out the most is sincere appreciation for the things he has done for YOR and myself. I first met Dave through a friend back in December 2006, and when I met him just his whole vibe and energy was so light and genuine that you couldn't help but love the guy . It wasnt until now that I really thought about it and if it wasn't for Dave a lot of the trainings and events that I enjoyed, learned, and grew from, from a Connect to a YORIN training, wouldn't have existed and I probably wouldn't be here today. Whenever I go to a connect or see a YOR logo I will think of you and appreciate more. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH DAVE FOR DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY CHANGING MY LIFE!!! LOVE YOU, MISS YOU and NEVER WILL FORGET YOU BRO

Every time I hear a Justice beat I think of you. Thank you for being such a creative catalyst for YOR through every step we have taken. You have clearly revolutionized the way network marketing is portrayed! From the filming of Billy Little to the hippest remixes at YOR events, yor energy and spirit fill every inch of our company. It has impacted me personally from the moment we met in Monterrey. It was my first event & I didn't know even one person's name and you so willingly gave me your cell # even though we lived on opposite sides of the country! I was so silly, I didn't realize at that moment who I was making friends with... a genius soul that has helped build the foundation we are so lucky to have today.
Kamsahmnida, saranghe!
yor fan forever,
jessica

| TANY LEON | 12/22/2008 5:07:18 PM-PST #22 | | | Dave,
que te puedo decir...
me impacto de una manera impresionante saber la noticia de que ya no estabas con nosotros. Todavia ahorita tiemblo al escribir, y mucho es porque realmente llegaste a mi corazon desde la primera vez que te conoci, hace 4 años, en los Angeles. Me acuerdo que desde ese dia fuiste de mucha inspiracion para mi sobretodo porq vi en ti un joven con un brillo especial en los ojos que reflejaban toda la pasion y deseo de realmente hacer algo grande en la vida. Y sinceramente, hiciste algo grande, algo muy grande!!! mucho mas de lo que miles de personas desearian hacer en toda una vida!! Dave, a tus 24 años llegaste realmente a tocar y mover a mil gente.
te admiro y admirare siempre!!!
gracias por todo lo que diste y por esta gran enseñanza que aun con tu partida, me das...
te voy a extrañar!
tqm
Tany

| Azya | 12/22/2008 10:07:40 AM-PST #23 | | | Hijole, son tantos los recuerdos que tengo de Dave que no se cuales compartir. Pero lo que si puedo decir es que en todo momento Dave siempre nos daba todo de el. Siempre nos hizo sentir importantes como seres humanos, siempre estaba alerta escuchando lo que querias decir para estar totalmente contigo cuando hablabas con el. Era como si estuviera dentro de ti :)
Algo que me dejo muy marcada fue cuando estabamos reunidos el grupo de lideres en una casa para grabar un video de capacitacion basica para distribuir al equipo. Estabamos en esa casa, cada loco con su tema y teniamos que platicar todos para tomar juntos una decision. Como vio Dave que todos estabamos ocupados y super tranquilo nos dijo "Se que estan ocupados, que les parece si hacen sus pendientes y nos vemos en 30 minutos en la sala para decidir". No les miento, pasaron los 30 minutos y solo llegamos Cus, yo y Dave. Los demas ni sus luces (suele suceder en Mexico jajajaja). Estaba el ahi sentadito, y a mi me daba pena porque teniamos que tomar esa decision para que el pudiera seguir filmando. Obvio yo soy muy impaciente para esto de la puntualidad y le dije, si quieres dejame los traigo a todos, uno estaba arriba checando mails, otro fue al Oxxo porque tenia sed, otro ni cuenta que ya eran los 30 minutos etc. Y el con toda la paciencia y la calma me dijo "No Azya, somos un equipo, hay que esperarlos, ahorita llegan". Pasaron otros 10 minutos y ya llego uno mas. A mi me daba mas pena y le dije, "vamos a decidirlo si quieres entre los 4 y luego les avisamos, no creo que haya problema". Y con toda la calma me dijo "No, hay que esperalos, si puede ser frustrante para ti que la gente llegue tarde y nos tenga a los demas esperandolos, pero seguramente lo que estan haciendo es importante para ellos y por ahora ese es el equipo que tenemos, hay que esperarlos". Yo la verdad al principio no entendi. Eso estaba en contra de todo lo que yo habia aprendido. Mi filosofia antes era mas individualistas, mas la mentalidad de "el que llego llego, el que se quedo atras, se quedo". Pero despues platicando con el me hizo ver que la opinion de todos es importante. Si es importante que los demas respeten el tiempo de todos pero no podemos dejar a gente importante atras porque tenemos prisa. En un equipo algunos a veces iran mas lento que otros pero si decidimos que somos un equipo, a veces tendremos que esperar. Sobre todo porque seguramente algun dia, seremos nosotros los que necesitemos paciencia o ayuda de los demas. Ese es un verdadero equipo, el que nos acepta aun con nuestras limitaciones. Y si, en un futuro aprenderan a tener la cualidad de la puntualidad pero mientras eso sucede, vamos a seguir juntos, tomando las decisiones unidos porque pensando juntos pensamos mejor. Y le dije "Wow Dave, de donde aprendiste todo esto?" Y me dijo, "De Dennis, el siempre nos ha ensñado a todos lo mismo, pero la mayoria no pone atencion" y se rio.
Y asi era Dave, simple, alegre, relajado. Todo eso me enseño en 15 minutos a sus 21 años. Esa y muchisimas enzeñanzas mas me han ayudado a mi a ser una mejor persona.
Dave fue un gran amigo que siempre estaba ahi para ayudarte, que tenia toda la paciencia contigo cuando el entendiera las cosas 1000 veces mas rapido que la mayoria. El fue un gran, gran ser humano que nos dio muchisimo a todos los que lo conocimos. Y gracias a Dios a los que no tuvieron esa suerte, les dejo los videos que hizo. Que aunque nunca estuvo el en los videos, su esencia, su espiritu y todo el amor que tenia lo logro transimitr a traves de la camara.
Gracias Dave!
Te queremos mucho, y te vamos a extrañar!

I know we never got the chance to get to know each other or see each other much, but from all the times that we did share with each other, it was always fun just talking with you. You were always a cool person to talk to, because of your character and your personality. I truly enjoyed your work and what you have done for the company. We will all miss you dearly my friend.

| JAMES BANH | 12/21/2008 5:58:58 PM-PST #28 | | | David,
You may not know this but, you have made such a huge impact on so many people's lives. Upon hearing about your passing, I was flooded with messages from people all over the nation asking if this news was real. I assured them that I hear it form a confirmed source and they were so heart broken. All of them had stories to share of how you touched their lives and how they've become more focused on their passion in life and couldn't have done it with out your words.
You and I had great times when you came out to the East Coast and so many fantastic late night talks. I can See and Feel the passion you had inside it was so contagious! I must admit when I heard the news, I was in disbelief. I attended the funeral services and saw the body laying there lifeless and family and friends crying but, I could not shed a tear.
I just know that no matter where you're are... you're still making people smile and feeding them that energy! So I will not shed a tear... I am celebrating your life!
Your Brother,
James Banh

| Cus | 12/21/2008 9:03:37 AM-PST #29 | | | Dave,
Me impacto mucho recibir el mensaje de Michael diciendo que habias fallecido, me tomo un buen rato asimilarlo y lo tuve que leer varias veces antes de estar seguro de que eras tu de quien michael hablaba...
Es dificil saber que ya no te vamos a volver a ver nuevamente en el tiempo que nos queda de vida...
Puedo decir que lo unico que me queda de ti son buenos recuerdos, muuuuuuchas risas y carcajadas, desveladas editando videos y siempre un espiritu de seguir adelante con una actitud positiva... te vas dejando un gran legado en el corazon de muchos de los que te conocimos y tambien de muchos que nunca lo hicieron...
Hasta luego Dave !!!
Con cariño .... Cus

| Ban Tran | 12/20/2008 7:11:12 PM-PST #31 | | | When I first heard the news of Dave Hong’s passing, I was utterly shocked. Although I understood that death is just a transitional stage, I did not know how to react at the time and my stomach felt really heavy. Because Dave and I were good friends, it was difficult to accept that he was gone. Usually I am not the type of person who has much to say, but in tribute of his passing, I would like to express how I feel about my friend, Dave Hong.
Dave Hong has always been a good friend to me and I admire him in many ways. For those that are close to him, we all know that Dave is truly an intelligent individual who operates on a very high vibration. With his creativity, Dave brings to the table innovations and new ideas to take YOR to the next level. With objectivity, Dave pursues his vision and understands his role in the big picture. And with his keen sense of perception, Dave sees humor in little things in life that other people fail to see, which includes my dull personality.
Yet as intelligent and brainy as Dave is, I find his biggest attribute to be his heart. When Dave asks a question, he truly listens. Objectively, I appreciate Dave’s humble nature. Dave never acts like he is better than anyone else and always carries with him a charismatic demeanor that can put a smile on the face of even the most cynical person. Subjectively, I appreciate that even though I am no longer a YOR distributors, Dave is one of the few people who still keeps in touch and invites me to join him when he goes out. Even though that may not seems like a big deal to other people, that little act shows me the sincerity behind his friendship. When Dave becomes your friend, he truly is your friend. While many people preach, I feel that Dave is one of the few who truly embodies YOR spirit and live it.
Dave, although this event may seems tragic, it has finally set you free and allow you to truly live. Who knows which celestial bodies you will chose to be your next playground, but if you ever decides to revisit this world again, I’m sure we will meet again. Take Care buddy.
Your Friend,
Ban Tran

| LJ Olanda | 12/20/2008 6:54:32 PM-PST #32 | | | I give my sincere apologies to Mr. Dennis Wong, Telicia, and Mr. David Hong's family. Many great words were spoken about David Hong. Even though I did not have a chance to meet him, I heard many great things about him. Not to mention how Dennis Wong had spoken of him in the letter. Just from Dennis Wong's words in his letter I can see that David Hong was truly special and a wonderful man at heart, we need to be more like David Hong, his mentality, his heart and his attitude. I am sorry for the lost of David Hong, he will always be within the company's heart forever.
We will see you again David Hong a.k.a Mr. Connect.

| Matthew Riechmann | 12/20/2008 2:46:09 PM-PST #33 | | | Ahh Dave . . .
It was like yesterday when I remember you pulling up to the house in your brand new porchse and the smile on your face! I don't think I could have ever have smiled soo brightly then you did at that moment. I remember walking into wes's show and seeing you there, and then the happiness that followed, and the laughs and smiles that never ended. Every second I spent with you was a second to short, I always enjoyed your deep throughts and charismatic personality. You always seemed to have some way of making my life that much better, whithout even trying.
I rememeber the times at the beach house with the family, where it never ceased to amaze me how many pictures you could take with just a single camera! I remember how we used to all skate at the most random spots all over CA! My GOD we stayed out for hours and somehow never got tired. I even remember trying to tear the front of a soda machine off with some skates cause we were all THAT THIRSTY!
The memories I have with you will never be left behind. The way you lived your life will/ and has already made the biggest impact on my own. You have always been and will always be held in the highest respect in my heart. You will be missed greatly and celebrated intensly!
And one more thing . . . . I hear GOD loves to listen . . . . just don't go talking his ear off the first night !
I love you Dave, and my prayers will always go out to you and yours!

| Hermelynda | 12/20/2008 1:10:22 PM-PST #34 | | | The few times I have had a chance to meet and greet Dave, I would always find a crowd of reps around him at our Yor In events. The moment I got a chance to say hello to him and carry a conversation a feeling of admiration would build up inside because of his bright personality. :)
Learning from him in Yor In was such a unique experience, it's hard to describe yet he had such a wonderful ability to articulate what we learned so clearly and help give us a visual sense of what was taught.
I was awed by his creativity whenever he shared a new album of photos and videos he has been able to produce for us from all our special events.
The moment I learned that we shared the age was when I looked up to him as a role model because the knowledge he had I've once thought someone more then twice his age would have. He was indeed a genius in my eyes.
It hurts to accept the fact that I will no longer be able to say hello to him again. I am proud of him and the amazing legacy he has created in YOR. His deep involvement in developing our company will always keep us in memory of him.
You will be deeply missed David Hong,
Love, Hermelynda

| Jonathan Astacio | 12/20/2008 10:31:39 AM-PST #35 | | | Dave was a very special guy. I saw him a couple times at events but didnt get to enjoy his presence until i was fortunate to attend a "Yor In" event in Ixtapa, Mexico. There were a few of us distributers sitting down with our laptops checking email when Dave stopped by and sat down. I always wanted to have a talk with "Mr. Connect" as we called him at one point haha. It was amazing to me how down to earth he was...completely selfless. I would ask him about how it was when he was a distributer and he would mention some amazing accomplishments I never heard of before. I thought it was cool that he can be great at what he puts his mind to and yet not have an intimidating ego. He seemed to be enjoying simply talking and spending time with us. I am glad i had a chance to witness this special person. For that I know Dave will be missed. We all love him. For me, he will hold a special place in my heart and memories.
With Love,
Jonathan Astacio

I still can't believe your not here with us anymore, but I know you're being taken care of in a better place. I always loved catching up and seeing you when I could! One of the main reasons why I admired you was because I saw you be so universal and connected with everyone is a special way.
I want to say thank you for capturing the true spirit of what we are trying to become through your work. You'll be missed and I'll always remember you.
Love,
Tammie

| Matthew Chang Smith | 12/20/2008 3:03:35 AM-PST #38 | | | The first time I met Dave was when I was a Sophomore in High School. My friend Justin Lewis said that there was this awesome roller blader who was into shooting and editing skate videos. And since I had the same interest, I told Justin to bring this kid by. So Dave came in and said what's up and he went immediately to my book case. He found one of my Jim Morrison Poem books and became so excited that he met someone who was reading something he was. We talked for almost an hour before we went skating and I remember Justin saying, "Geez, it's like you guys are best friends." And he has been just that ever since.
And thinking about that, it's amazing how so many people have considered Dave a best friend... Yet to me, Dave was beyond a friend. I thought of him as a brother. No one could school me in the ways of the world like Dave. He had a way of opening up my mind and would make me slow down and smell the roses. He would take whatever I couldn't put into words into a single statement that was everything I was thinking and feeling.
I remember conversations that started at 11 pm and ended at when the sun came up. I remember how Dave would always want me in his voice over ip commercials and how much fun we had filming those. I remember how he'd always have the newest camera and would flash pictures in your face till you were almost blinded.
I can picture David now, sitting across a table from his father, and having one of his infamous long conversations because they have a lot of catching up to do. This picture in my mind makes me feel better. Because I believe that one day I will see my friend again, and he'll say, "What up Matty?! How you been kid? We have a lot to talk about." And we'll talk just like old times.
I loved that kid. I loved his ambition and drive and his ever constant goal to make the ones he cared about enhance themselves. And even though he was practically a genius, he went out of his way to make sure that whenever he was speaking to you, you understood what he was talking about. Because whatever knowledge you got from David, it was going to change your life for the better.
I have a million and one memories of Dave, and every single one of them puts a smile on my face. I feel as if the big guy upstairs has a plan for something extraordinary, and needed someone who he felt would be perfect to handle such an important job. And he looked at David and said, "It's time to work for me now." David is my best friend and until I see him again, I will miss him dearly.

| Josh Lau | 12/20/2008 2:37:06 AM-PST #39 | | | DH,
It’s been a few days and I still don’t think it’s really hit me yet. It felt like yesterday when we would stay up into the wee hours of the night talking about life. You would ask me questions such as “What do you think about this, what do think about that, how is your relationship with this person” and I would respond. You were one of the few people whom I felt really understood how to listen without judgment. You were someone I could confide into and pour my heart to without feeling cautious. Thanks for teaching me how to listen.
When you first came to the East Coast, one of the first things you introduced me to was organic food. You were always super excited to cook for us even though you never told us what the heck we were eating. I felt like a human guinea pig. You always had these eccentric concoctions that you would cook up and present so confidently, I never had the heart to say no even when I wasn’t hungry. Your passion for cooking always brought a smile to my face. In the end, I always tried your stuff, and for the most part I have to say it was pretty good for “healthy food”. Thanks for looking out for my health and for feeding me.
The next thing you could never stop talking about was cycling cycling cycling. You talked about it so much you eventually convinced me to throw down 2k on a brand new road bike. On top of that, you were so confident in me that you convinced me to get clipless pedals and shoes right away, which I foolheartedly agreed. Without ever riding my new bike, I clipped my shoes into the pedals, rode a few feet, lost balance, but because my shoes were locked into the pedals, I fell to the side flat on my face. I remember getting so mad at you because I felt like you set me up to fail, but really you just really believed in me. Regardless, you felt bad and the next day I found on my desk regular bike pedals and a brand new racing jersey. Attached to the gifts was a note that said “I got your back Josh. –DH”. I was touched, not because of the gift, but because you showed me that friendships are always more important than pride.
The stories above show the best thing about you, which was your passion and zest for life. You were always hardcore into something, and when you chose to learn about something, you fully engulfed yourself in it. And unlike most people, you really studied the facts and got good at it. If someone knew more than you or thought they did, you always took in advice and even criticism with a hint of sugar. From cameras and photos to filming and videos to skin products and skin to fashion and clothing to global warming and politics to life in general you were this walking ball of passion with a wealth of interesting facts to share. Once you got talking, it would take a miracle and half to get you to stop. And you knew it too. I would always make fun of you for your more eccentric obsessions, one of them being your dream to be able to grow a thick full beard. The other was how you treated Yoshi like your girlfriend and never shared him with anyone. I called you the Dog Molester lol. The helpless look on his face when you were cuddling him had me laughing until I was rolling on the ground with tears.
Your passing taught me how life is so fragile and how we need to appreciate all that we can while we are here. It taught me how important it is for us to touch the lives of the people around us and to make sure that everyone knows how much we care about them. You taught me why we need to live a good full life, one that is abundant and rich with experiences, passion, and color. Lastly, you taught me how to accept things that I cannot control, to learn from the past but not dwell on the past.
No matter how much you knew, how much money you made, what car you drove, you were always down to earth and a friend before all else. Friends were everything to you. Thanks for being a true brother and adding such value to my life. Your spirit and life lessons will forever live in my heart. I will never forget you.
Ok, it’s finally hitting me…Let me end this because I can’t see the screen anymore.
Love you brother,
Josh Lau

| Kevin Chou | 12/19/2008 11:10:35 PM-PST #40 | | | Dave,
I remember the summer of 2006, the first time we met at the anniversary event in Puerto Vallarta. It was so amazing to hear especially how young you were that you worked personally with Mr. Dennis Wong. That itself made me so excited and anxious to meet you.
Although we didn't have many interactions, the times we did get a chance to hangout, were definitely some great times. Seeing you run "behind the scenes" at the Monterrey Yor In, DJing, giving me your mixes for our own events...these little things are what make you so special!
Thanks for always having such vibrant energy, seeing you around at all the events always put a smile on my face =) You made a great impact to my life, to many in the company, and definitely it will continue to spread! You will be dearly missed, but your spirit will forever be within us. Rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Kevin

| Darlene Pech | 12/19/2008 10:30:32 PM-PST #41 | | | Dear Dave,
It was a pleasure meeting you for the first time in NY. I've had the chance to speak to you during yor-in. I've also had the chance to open up to you about personal issues when you had me in tears with a story you once told. We laughed about things we had in common. Although they were brief moments in time, they will never be forgotten. And so will you. I appreciate deeply for what you have done for the company and for the people within the community. You will definitely be in our thoughts and in our hearts. Take care Dave.

| Braddy Dominguez | 12/19/2008 9:25:51 PM-PST #42 | | | To me you are not gone Dave! It just cant hit me yet. I know your spirit is still here, i feel you among us and you will always stay watching over us. I miss you soo much.
|
| Angie Choi | 12/19/2008 9:00:09 PM-PST #43 | | | Dear Dave,
I'm writing this as a letter to you because I know you're watching over us right now. I felt you with us all week, especially on our trip to California to come see you for the last time.
I'm sure you saw the craziness we all had to go through to get there, 4 hour phone calls with customer service, missed flights, delayed flights, cancelled flights, snow, everything. But it didn't matter, we were all thinking of you.... to do whatever it takes to come and see you.
When I finally got to see you lying there, it hurt to see you there. I closed my eyes and was hoping you would wake up and say.."JK...I FOOLED YA!" because you would always pull silly and funny jokes, but you didnt. I'm trying to understand and accept that this was the plan for you and that you are in a better place.
Dave, I'll always remember all the fun times we had. Late night serious talks, silly talks where we would laugh until we cried, couldn't breath, and stomachs hurt; BBQs where you would almost burn down the house, your ugly Yoshi haircuts, your competitiveness with the Wii, late night bike rides, trips to Whole Foods, your "gourmet meals" you would cook up with nuts & cheese, the list goes on forever. I loved how you were your unique self and the big heart you had for everyone. I loved that you were genuine and open and unselfish. I loved that you never judged, but was always there with open arms and ears. I loved that you called me your sister. Thank you for everything you've done.... and mostly... for just being you.
I love you Dave and I miss you........ I know we'll meet again soon. I know you're watching over us.

| Huica | 12/19/2008 5:27:03 PM-PST #44 | | | Tengo muchos gratos recuerdos de Dave, la mayor parte de ellos de admiración, siempre lo vi mejorar, crecer como persona, con ese mismo espíritu. Una persona muy respetuosa de los demás, siempre dedicó el tiempo que tenía disponible a compartir. A mi en lo personal me dedicó tiempo siempre que lo busqué y me gustaba compartir con él auqnue fueran pequeños momentos. Necesitamos más gente como Tú Dave.
Por ahi nos encontraremos.

| Cruz González | 12/19/2008 4:17:17 PM-PST #45 | | | I had not the pleasure to know Dave but after reading his story in Dennis´s letter I felt an extraordinary desire to work harder and be enthusiastic not only in YOR as a Rep but in my daily life. A life to follow.
Thanks Dave, keep taking the photos and recording the life!

| Joe Marte | 12/19/2008 1:20:22 PM-PST #48 | | | Dave,
I first met you in Monterray Mexico, it was my first YOR IN and it was my Best!
This might be silly but before meeting you i've always wondered why there weren't any koreans in the company. When i heard who you were and got the chance to meet you. The first thing i talked to you was about that topic and we joked and laughed about it haha. From then on i thought you were the coolest person i've met by far. You've taught us all many life lessons. Just through your style and persona, Indirectly you've taught us all that it was ok to be who you are as a person.
I've always had admiration for what you've done for us. From taking the Pictures/filming, Yyada ( was one of the reasons i loved our company ) and Teaching us in Yor In.
I'm Glad that i was lucky enough to meet someone like you. After reading what Dennis wrote about you i KNOW that you are a LEGEND. Truly one of a kind. Thank you for the inspiration to be innovative and the memories :) . We will never forget you Dave Hong.
Love, Joe Marte

| Hector Flores | 12/19/2008 8:55:25 AM-PST #52 | | | I have so many fond memories of Dave - especially when we were doing National Expansion. Dave was looking for a team to be a part of, and I was very lucky that he chose me to go through that journey. He was my roomate for about 6 months. I personally experienced the genius in Dave. I remember how passionate he was at everything he did. He would not sleep all night, and would just think of his team and everyone around him. He would wake me up at around 1 a.m. and tell me "Hector, I can't sleep, let's go play kareoke." I would say, "Dave, it's 2 a.m.!" And he would say," Hector, the night is young!!!" Haha, one of his favorites was Hotel California! There were nights that I didn't want to kareoke with him, I would suggest him to read a book. For me, those books would take be about 2 months to read, but for Dave, he was done with the whole book in 2 night! He loved mexican food, and his two favorite spanish words were "no manches guey", and siiiiiiiiiiiii!! We would always laugh about it.
I learned so much from Dave. His will to succeed in order to help his family. He didn't like "bad" people, and couldnt understand why people made wrong choices.
I know that everyone is sad right now, but I know that you would be saying" don't be sad, enjoy your life, live to the fullest" and that's exactly what I'll will do.
Dave, I'm going to miss you, but your legacy will be always in my actions, and in my life. Thank you Dave, my brother, partner, and friend. You will always be in my heart. I love you.

You gave Jane and me a ride back from one of the LA conventions and introduced us to everyone, always making us feel warm and welcome. You had the most vibrant personality that commanded attention and you always had such an easy-going outlook on things.
You will be missed, but the memories will live forever. God bless you and your family.

I was speechless whe I heard "Dave passed".
Then flashing memories start coming and all of them included a big smile on his face.
When I first met him, after an event in Guadalajara, we spent a Monday night after midnight and nobody wanted to leave the room, because listening to Dave made us feel better.
I feel really lucky to have met a guy like him, we miss you already, thanks for all the memories.
Don´t last long coming back.

| Levar Cooper | 12/19/2008 12:27:57 AM-PST #55 | | | My one memory of Dave. luckily for me, is one of inspiration. It was around the time our health project was about to launch and it was a tuesday night. Dave and Ryan Jackson had arrived at a Cynthia Banh event to pickup some video equipment. I rode the elevator with them and led them to to the room where the event was being held. Luckily for me that night i had a guest attending, and I thought of nothing better than to introduce my new friend to someone who was involved with our company from a different coast of America. What i remembered most was Dave sharing with my friend all the company has to offer besides the great income potential. What inspired me the most about this encounter was how Dave was able to make my friend feel very comfortable being around him by being very light and compassionate. I only wish I had a chance to learn more from your wondeful personality.

| Adriana Gomez | 12/19/2008 12:08:22 AM-PST #56 | | | I met Dave in 2002 while the two of us were working on an expansion project in Chicago. The guy i met that night and the Dave I came to love were 2 different people. As Dennis has shared with us Dave had the "Whatever it takes attitude" what made him so special to me was that having that attitude always applied to what HE could do, not what he would need to do towards others. Daves Heart and vision for what he saw this company i believed surpassed what many current distributors have today. He was the first to venture off on "Recording" this historic company... to him it was like being able to video tape the beginning of something amazing. Thats how BIG he saw this before many people did and that is one vision the two of us along with the founders council and of course Dennis saw. For those of you who did not have the fortune of knowing him personally Dave was HAL_AR_I_OUS!!! super funny guy! ALways beyond your expectations. We had this inside joke about " Hip-hop" which we both liked and one night i came over to his place and i had bought him a huge 24k, super thick Fake Gold necklace with a 6inch $ sign dangling from it, he loooved it! He was wearing it around all night acting like he was the next "SnoopDogg" it was funny! Dave you are and will be missed, but this company what it is, what it stands for, and what it will continue to be will have a remanence of your presense and your love with it always ;)
Love You,
Adriana

The first time I met you, I had you take many pictures of me lol. Then the second time I saw you at dinner in Mexico, I asked to use your camera and I ran around taking lots of pictures of myself haha. It seems like yesterday that we were in Yor In Costa Rica where you were on stage reading to us. I remember us talking about emotional problems and solutions to them. All the memories rushed right into my head when I heard the bad news. I wish we can go back in time and change the past =( We love you Mr. Connect R.I.P

| Francisco Romero | 12/18/2008 11:57:19 PM-PST #58 | | | To me i really hate it when good friends go. i first met dave at the yor inn NY07 event. At the time, i thought he was someone famous cause i saw him walking out the famous car, on stage with the president and founder, and he was the speaker. Man i'll never forget that event and everything was so new to me. Dave, he gave out an energy. Speaking on stage, he spoke relaxed, clear, and direct with every word he said. Yor inn impact was undeniable because of him. I even remember how micheal said to him " Hey dave didn't you cook some bad spaghetti a week ago" . This man was truely an inspiration. Even at the regular connects, seeing dave there somehow made connect great. From my opionion I guess his greatest asset was, he wasn't afraid of who he was, even how to express himself. Because of him, i don't care if i am goofy and I have this tie of Santa clause and guys in the company think its cute; but Dave is a big rolemodel to me. Thank you dave! Sorry if im not into the "rest in Peace" I will aways say Live in peace Dave.

I cannot begin to say how thankful I am to not only meet you, but all that you have done for everyone and the company. You are a great man with a beautiful soul that can only be shown through your personality. I am grateful for meeting you. You will be missed dearly by many, but your our memories will always remain in our hearts and our minds.
Sincerely,

| Michael Carey | 12/18/2008 11:53:43 PM-PST #60 | | | Calling skycaptain, calling skycaptain...
I have totally selfish reasons for mourning your passing. I think that in some way we all do. So this is a story about me as much as it is you. But that's why it matters.
The first I ever heard of Dave Hong was at the Las Vegas annual event in 2005. You spoke on your earliest days in the company ("Next, next, next - so, you wanna do this?")...I don't know if I've been so amused by someone's story as I was then.
I think that sometime after that, maybe a year later, you released a promo video for Puerto Vallarta with a parody/homage to the intro dialogue of the film The Beach. I messaged you shortly after asking about the reference and you casually acknowledged it, citing that the book was one of your favourites and that you had been asked to throw together a video in a short amount of time.
When I ran into you in PV, we had by then talked several times over the internet and you remembered my name and that I liked to write. I was dumbfounded.
Then a few months after that, you were in New York. We met again while filming testimonials and during the infamous creation of the strangely funny Billy Little. I volunteered my car for "stunt driving" and various scenes. I count that among my best of times.
Then something happened. I left the company to focus much more on my writing. I was sleepless for nearly three months straight working on that first draft, working two jobs, drinking unusual amounts of caffeine. In those early hours of the morning no one was online save "xxskycaptainxx". So I messaged you to keep human contact during my exile from the social world. We talked about music, for instance how you sampled Radiohead in several company videos ("doot doot doot, Got 2?"). We talked about films. We talked about whatever. Just all of these obscure pop culture conversations. This would go on for hours over AIM.
And when I came close to quitting writing so many times, you were there to talk about things like drive and desire and passion. You would make me feel inspired and I would push on with my words. We were never close in the conventional sense but I feel that we shared a lot.
Some time then passed and we didn't speak anywhere near as much as we used to. We just both became busy and those 3am conversations faded.
This summer, two years later, I began working on the sixth draft of my book. I did not like the name of my main character and was searching for a new one. After thinking long and hard, I thought of you and those late night exchanges. Suddenly David became the perfect name. But I never got to tell you that I named a character after you because a few months came and went, and you were gone.
A few days ago I heard the news. I couldn't sleep all night. I was late for work. I didn't care. I didn't even want to eat. I talked for about an hour with James Banh about you. He said something that really stuck out, something perfect: "Dave had a way of being personal to everyone."
Thank you for being such a small part of my life that held a huge influence in a time where I needed it. Thank you for being personal.

| Christina Jacildo | 12/18/2008 11:49:19 PM-PST #61 | | | I remember meeting Dave in New York in July 2006. I just got started in the company and I didn't know anyone. He was one of the few people I made friends with. And it was real cool cuz during the games that we had during the July 4th picnic, we were on the same team. Green Team for life!!!
Then after I remember seeing him in Monterrey, Mexico for my first YorIn. I would always be complimenting on his stylish looks, ESPECIALLY his tie. And how he is a goofball when we took pictures of him (you all know what I'm talking about).
Dave even though I knew you for a short time... I will miss you for sure =) See you soon my crazy rat!

I remember the first time I met you was in Puerto Vallarta '06. I thought you were one of the coolest people. I remember when Dennis gave you that huge check in appreciation of all the things you've done. Wow, I remember that event like it was yesterday ;o)
Although you will no longer be here with us in a physical form, I believe your spirit will always be. We all believe you will be in better place. Thank you for all you did for the TEAM.
We will Always Remember MR. CONNECT!!
With Love and Respect,
Frank Rojas
;O)

Gracias David por tu sonrisa...supongo que cuando llegastes al cielo Dios te pregunto . David vienes a alegrar el cielo? Hoy lo vi por ultima vez pero su alegria quedara en el corazon de cada uno de los miembros de la familia Yor. Descanza en Paz David.

| Justin Burkhart | 12/18/2008 10:08:24 PM-PST #64 | | | After hearing the news recently, I wanted to say thanks and my love for what you have done for myself and thousands of people around the world. Although you were often in the public eye helping and supporting our mission, I admire and respect all the time you put in behind the scenes preparing training materials and videos, and never seeking out the recognition.
I remember this past summer talking on the steps at Ms. Banhs house, it was my first time really getting to talk to you, and I had a great time, looking forward to many great things to come.
Your passing came as a surprise to all of us, and it is a reminder of how much we have to be thankful for and should appreciate each day. You will live forever in my heart and you will serve an inspiration to grow and become a great person.

Dave,
I can always count on you to make me laugh. My memory of you is always a team player with a willing attitude. I remembered when we were in Texas expanding the business, but we were in different cities. When I saw you, the first thing you said to me was "Hey Cindy! You should move out here so we can build together!" It doesn't matter what it takes, you were always winning to do whatever and go wherever. That is what Dennis calls a Heart of a Champion! You will be missed but always remembered. Thank you for being YOU! We love you lots!
Love Always,
Cindy

| Adan Rodriguez | 12/18/2008 6:39:34 PM-PST #66 | | | Hey David... Tube la fortuna de conocerte en el ultimo yor in Costa Rica!!!
Wow... fue un placer haberte conocido!!!
What an inteligent guy!!!

| Linda Chum | 12/18/2008 1:51:12 PM-PST #67 | | | Dave,
I remember the chats we used to have on MSN and AIM xxskycaptainxx...haha. We shared music, thoughts...you were truly a great friend. I always admired your innovation, creativity, your expression of your thoughts, and how bold your personality was. To speak your mind and share your incite taught me a lot on how to just let it go and be you.
When I heard what happened, I pushed the thought away, I didn't want to make it my reality. But now, from what I've seen and heard, from what Dennis wrote about you, I see that the loss of a dear friend has taken place.
I'm not sad, because you left a mark in a lot of people's hearts and tattooed a memories in a lot of minds. You did a lot for us and I want to show you my true appreciation.
Thank you for all that you did for us Dave, for me. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

| Cynthia Banh | 12/18/2008 1:49:19 PM-PST #68 | | | One of my 1st memories of Dave was when Dennis came out to Boston, MA during the start of our national expansion. He was part of a full entourage that came along with Dennis from California. Majority of the time you would only see part of Dave's face because he was always carrying around a camera filming something/someone. The crazy "rat" that he is, is always running from one place to another trying to get the best story or shot.
But it wasn't until months later, Dave caught a ride with me to one of my organizational meetings, was when we got a chance to get to know one another. As he asked me questions about me, my interests, my business...what made me tick...I can see how genuinely interested he was in the answers i gave back.
As the years progressed, we became closer friends...sharing stories, his imfamous immatations of a prissy korean girl...haha LMAO. He always knew that impression could give me a good belly laugh.
Nothing but great memories when it comes to Dave :D
Miss you :D
Sincerely,
Cynthia

| Mike Perez | 12/18/2008 12:48:05 PM-PST #71 | | | Dave!
I can still hear us calling eachother when we would see one another.. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude we would say! lol it always brought a smile to my face :) you are definitely one of the people i know of that have the biggest heart! All of the talks we had definitely helped me out snd showed me a different perspective on things.
We go waaay back lol and knowing that no matter what you still at times found some time to ask how i was doing, and how business was for me, but not just to ask, to also know if there was any way you were able to help me out! thank you for being such a great person and inspiring hundreds and thousands of people, including me! :)
You will be missed! Love you Bro! R.I.P - MP

| Juan Chavez | 12/18/2008 12:45:53 PM-PST #72 | | | Dave was, is and will always be someone that is unforgetable. What a gentleman, character and human being. The energy you felt from him is the kind of energy that you want to become, is just so welcoming and attractive, you wanted to be around him. Someone I admired in many ways and learned from. Thank you for what you did for us. We Love You and you'll always be with us because you are part of the creation...

| Mayling Zhong | 12/18/2008 9:07:01 AM-PST #75 | | | Hi Dave, I remember like it was yesterday when I first met you in Monterrey, Mexico Yor In...it was one of my first company wide event that I was chosen to go...we didn't really say much, but I've seen and admire the work that you've done for the company...there's a lot to learn from your intelligence to your spirit in how you carried yourself...definitely will never forget your swagger and style in how you put yourself together...physically in this world you are not with us but you hold a place in the hearts of many people you've touched...I am thankful to have known you. You are an inspiration because you've accomplished a lot of work and your talent & intelligence leaves many speechless.
Rest in peace, Dave

| Maika | 12/18/2008 9:03:38 AM-PST #76 | | | I still remember the first day i met Dave, in his very first trip to Mexico, we looked so young and was so excited and passionate for his work, it was contagious....Since then, we became very good friends, we talked a lot, on the chat, on the phone, i remember one sunday night we spent around 4 hours , reading my birthday...He always told me he believed i had the potential to make it and give my kids a better life.....He always had a kind word and something i realize is that every time we were together, we remembered to say i love you....He came down to Costa Rica for an event, june 2006, he doccumented everything in a video that is still up in you tube.
The Central America team decided to give him a tribute back then, with an award and i remember his eyes, he was in disbelief, why me...well as Dennis says, he had the heart of a champion and he had the power of getting in to you and made you love him...
Dave, i cherish deeply all our memories together , i love you.

| Daniel Hamilton | 12/18/2008 8:27:26 AM-PST #77 | | | Dave,

| Paola Matamoros Honduras (paomc) | 12/18/2008 7:13:36 AM-PST #80 | | | Mr. Dennis Wong, I did not have the privilege to know David Hong, but you did him justice with such a profound obituary, that I wish I had gotten the chance to know him. To you, to his family, and the people that knew him, I just want to say that through memories like these you can still have people admire and learn from people like him. I wish all of you strength and I hope you continue to share his work and life with those that did not know him.
|
| Ben Jessee | 12/18/2008 6:55:05 AM-PST #81 | | | Dave was always friendly. I remember I had not seen him in over a year. Then at the NY 07 event he approached me at the Javis Center. It was as if I had seen him the other day. I introduced some friends to him and he made everyone feel comfortable using his humor. I remember him telling the story of why he created the Connect videos. He always broke the mold of a traditional business person. Dave’s life story will always inspire others.
|
| mikeher | 12/18/2008 12:53:34 AM-PST #82 | | | I should say that i never really got the chance to meet him but he seem like a nice guy. He is the same age as me 24 yrs old. He seem like a person I can meet and become good friends with through the company. knowing that he always have the desire to learn is something I am. But knowing that he was a very intillegent guy and fast past, is what I wanted to be. He also got the chance to work with Mr. Dennis Wong. I dont think I can keep up with this guy but I'm pretty sure he would've inspire many people around the world. If I have met him. I would definetely want to be his friend.

he then sent me a msg on yyada...
"lin..you are a great friend...son and everyone is very lucky to have you...just throwing that out there for you to catch"
he made me feel appreciated..
special...
and it meant the world to me that someone as loved as he is took notice to how i am as a person. =)

i dedicate the song "i will follow you...." from Death Cab for Cutie to him on my myspace...
bc no matter where he is... my heart is with him..

| Leaving a Legacy Behind... | 12/17/2008 11:58:08 PM-PST #84 | | | Dear Dave,
Through your vision and mission when building YOR, I've always had an admiration for your mind, heart, and soul. You were someone with a great heart and loved helping others.
When I first learned about what you have done for the company, and was known as "the Mr. Connect," I was intrigued and inspired by your greater vision for the company. I knew than that I wanted to befriend you. Soon after, I qualified myself to Yor In Events and finally had the chance to meet you in person and ask questions to learn from your point of view.
I didn't get a chance to thank you for teaching me and helping me understand the beauty of our company. Without you I wouldn't have what I have today, neither would I appreciate as much as I do now.
I still can't believe that March 19th would be the last night I would ever speak to you. Dave, you will always be missed because you have touched so many lives here at YOR Health; including mine.
Rest in Peace as we know that you are being taken care of from The Lord above. Your legacy will be carried on through the burning torches of our desires as it flames though our hearts for a better future. Thank you for giving us the vision and now it's our turn to finish up the mission...Dave, see you at the TOP.
.:Honora:.

| Jeff Darmawan | 12/17/2008 11:49:53 PM-PST #85 | | | Good bye my friend. I will always remember you as my cheerful brother, selfless and helpful to others. Spicy Bob is what I call you... Love You and may He watch over those left behind. My deepest sympathy to his family.

| Nai | 12/17/2008 11:33:25 PM-PST #86 | | | Dear Dave,
I remember when I first saw your photograph.
Something about you just caught my eye.
Some didn't understand what I saw.
And neither did I..
A persona that was naive yet sophisticating.
With antics that made us laugh at a whim.
An optimist soul with undeniable charm,
that can dazzle whoever is around him.
It was exciting to meet you-like meeting a celebrity.
But your genuine aura made me feel so at ease.
The time we spent you taught us about life
and that we can achieve anything as we please.
An amazing and unique person that you are,
with an immense creativity beyond the lens.
I always adore your sense of expression
of the words that come after your pens...
Following that first and last encounter,
You've made a great impact on my life.
I am grateful and truly bless to have known you
for you have shown me how to overcome my strife.
Thank you,
Nai

| Yezika V. calberto | 12/17/2008 11:29:26 PM-PST #87 | | | Despite his physical loss Dave will always remain... It's hard to describe someone like him so I never tried. I don't recall any of our conversations. I don't remember any specific physical qualities about him or gestures or anything like that. I just remember what it felt like being around him... It was peaceful. I remember how gracefully he carried himself, and how he was always so soft-spoken, almost as if he wanted to keep all his talent and greatness a secret so it wouldn't overshadow anyone, always so humble.
Even if one didn't know him, it was so apparent that he was nothing but a true, good-natured, kind-hearted young man... And so extremely talented. I'm so lucky to have known him. Yorhealth is a special family, and he was one of the reasons why. Dave will always remain because I will always remember the way he made me feel.

| Alejandra Estrada | 12/17/2008 11:25:28 PM-PST #88 | | | Dave you made us believe in ourselves more and gave us a great chance to keep persuiting our dreams through our wonderful company Yor Helath.

| YURI HINTON | 12/17/2008 11:07:50 PM-PST #89 | | | I send my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the entire family and friend base of the late Mr. David Hong. I did not have the honor and privilege to personally meet Mr. Hong, but great words were spoken of him. I feel that he lived a life to inspire others as we all do in our own way. I am sure he left his mark on the lives of many people. I know that past memories of Mr. David Hong will be on our hearts and will affect our future memories to come!
With solace remarks,
Yuri Hinton

| Helen Wong | 12/17/2008 10:49:07 PM-PST #93 | | | Dave was a very dear buddy to me. He was always there for me whenever I needed a true friend. From keeping me awake while I was driving long distance to taking care of me and even cooking me his gourmet recipes for me when I was sick. I've known him for over 6 years now and we've grown to become good friends during this time. No matter where we each were located on this planet, we always somehow, some way keep in touch. He kept my spirits high and my emotions calm during my entire period of illness this year. Above everything, he helped connect the entire company worldwide. I truely believe that without him, our company would not be as close & Connect-ed as we are now if it wasn't for his vision, hard work, and dedication. He has touched so many hearts and lives during the few yers that I've known him. He is always there for you to put a smile on your face, or just someone to tlak to and listen to you. His passion for life, people, arts, (and Yoshi) made him everyone's best friend. Dave, I owe you so much buddy... and somehow, some way, I will make sure that I pay forward everything that you've given me on to others who can use a good friend. Even though you are not physically here any longer, I still have all the music you've ever given to me and all the warm & Joyous memories we shared to keep me going. You will always remain in our hearts for you have truely impacted our lives with your presence. I love you buddy... Thank you...

| England Ibalio | 12/17/2008 10:32:05 PM-PST #94 | | | Dave.... I first met him in Monterray, Mexico in my first YOR IN. I admired him for his warm heart and his enthusiasm about life. He always had a smile on his face that just makes you want to get to know him. He read the YOR IN book to us and I was able to see his quick progression as the days went in. He opened up himself to everyone in that room. It was something I was working on and to see him progress, it helped me, and not only me, also my team. For the average person to do that, it would be very difficult. And that's when I knew he had a gift, a gift that I admired. Dave, we will miss you dearly. We will finish the mission.

| Son Nguyen | 12/17/2008 10:20:28 PM-PST #96 | | | Hi Dave,
I'm writing this to you in a letter form because i know you are reading it. miss you man. can't believe you are not here. but like Dennis always teaches us, there is no time and space in spirituality, we are bonded in energy. I know I wont see each other in our physical form but we will always be together spiritually.
For everyone else,
I got the text from Michael on Monday night about Dave's accident. I was with Alexia and Honora when i got the text. I was speechless. I told them in a speechless and no emotion way. All i could remember was all the years he has been around us. I still remember him filming connect for all of us. He moved to the East Coast to live with Michael. All the YOR IN's. Most importantly, when I was going thru my back surgery, he was always there visiting me before surgery, in the ER, at the hospital and right before i went into my major surgery at 7:30am on Saturday, after surgery. The last time we spent together was when i came out of rehab and at this time i was still on my back brace and walker. we went to eat at a korean place and went to a starbucks in Edgewater. we were just talking and joking and laughing. at that time he just got his new 3G Iphone. That night was very relaxing and refreshing for me. it was one of the best nights since awhile bc i was in bed 24/7 and didn't get to go anywhere.
The one thing i can always remember is his preppy style of clothes with his black frame glasses like on the pictures.
Thanks for the memories Dave, they will always be here will us.
love,
son

Thank you for your vision for our lives. You helped revolutionize what we are doing, and made all the lives we are changing today possible through your creativity, color, and flair for our mission. I remember always spending time with you, playing with photos, finding new music, and just enjoying our time in Costa Rica, Mexico, New York, California, and in Punta Cana. Mr. Connect, thank you for everything. We will finish the job.

| Cong Nguyen | 12/17/2008 5:39:16 PM-PST #100 | | | I've known David for several years and the time I've known him, he has always been a kind person.
David was a guy who was liked every where he went and anyone who came to know him. A very kind and humble person who brought smiles to his friends and love ones.
It is such a tragedy to loose him at such a young age. His journey was just beginning and now he is no longer in this world.
My prayers goes out to his families and friends.
