David "Dangerous Dave" Travers— The music community and friends are deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing of David Travers, affectionately known as "Dangerous Dave." A talented carpenter by trade and a musician at heart, David made his mark on the world with his unique Ska, Punk, Reggae, and Folk band, Dangerous Dave and the Side Effects.
David spent his later years in Wicklow Town, continuing to offer his carpentry skills while also pursuing his passion for music. He was not only an accomplished musician but also a storyteller who lit up any room he entered with his vibrant personality. His song "I Met My Pet on The Internet" became an instant classic among his friends and musical peers, a testament to his creative spirit and the joy he brought to others.
David’s friends and family, including his sister Ann and brother Paddy, as well as his extended family and bandmates, are mourning his untimely passing. He will be remembered for his kindness, his ability to bring people together, and his infectious enthusiasm for life.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by Killian O’Reilly to help cover the costs of David’s funeral. The campaign has raised €325 so far, with contributions from those who loved him, such as Anke Heinisch (€50), Karen Murphy (€100), Killian O’Reilly (€50), Shane Fox (€50), and Sue Hargreave (€25).
Facebook posts have been pouring in as people share their memories of David. The band’s Facebook page, Dangerous Dave & The Side Effects, shared: "We have set up a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of Dave’s funeral costs. Don’t leave yourself without, but if you can spare a few bob to contribute to the cost of his arrangements it would mean a lot."
David Conroy also posted, showing the impact David had on his community and how much he will be missed.
David Travers lived by the motto found in his songs: "We’re here for a good time, not a long time. This ain’t no rehearsal." His joyful approach to life will be remembered by all who knew him.
We offer our deepest condolences to David’s family and friends. May his soul rest in peace, and may his loved ones find comfort during this difficult time.
