Passing of Forumite "Muscle" AKA David Shogren

by **FrazeeDK** » August 4, 2007, 8:50 am

All,

I'm sad to inform you that David Shogren, screen name on the forum "Muscle" passed away Thursday August 2nd at 2PM in Audie Murphy Veterans Administration Hospital in San Antonio TX of a terminal illness. Dave departed Vientiane about a month ago, returning to the U.S. for better medical care. When he arrived at Audie Murphy they discovered he had terminal cancer.
Dave's wife Fon was enroute to the States to be with him when he passed. She's now in San Antonio with Dave's brother taking care of funeral arrangements..

Dave was an outspoken but kindly man on the forum, a superb nurse, caring husband, and great human being.. I hope I'll see him again on the other side....

Sorry to hear about that.

A sad loss of a colourful and interesting character; I only once had a really long discussion with him, one afternoon just after he had been receiving some treatment at Paolo.

Ended up spending probably the most interesting afternoon I have had in Udon debating the merits and demerits and corruption in the US & UK political systems, big Pharma, big Oil and a whole host of other subjects.

I met him at the Members Meeting last December. He seemed like he was a fairly young man, mid 40's maybe? We had a nice conversation that night. Scanning over his posts he seems to have been very devoted to his Lao wife. Very sad. RIP David.

Hello- I have recently discovered the death of my dear friend Dave on your website- He died three years ago. His family would like to contact his widow. Can anyone help?

Mod Note:-

Newsgirl I have linked your post with a previous topic about David Shogren. You may like to note the OP (Original Post) above, in which FrazeeDK stated at the time of the Funeral Dave's widow Fon was in San Antonio (USA).

FrazeeDK may have more up to date information on her current whereabouts, You may like to PM him, or he may pick up on this latest post. In any event I trust those involved will respect any possible privacy concerns of Fon.
