Remembering Dave Damit: Stories, Tributes, and Legacy | James Loud Podcast EP#53
Join us for a profoundly special episode of the James Loud Podcast, as we honor the life and legacy of Dave Mesford, better known as Dave Damit. In an episode that holds a special place in our hearts, James Loud traveled to Washington to spend two memorable days with Dave, capturing his final stories and reflections for the podcast. Tragically, Dave passed away shortly after, on April 20th, 2024, marking this episode as one of his last contributions to the world he impacted so deeply.
Dave Mesford was a revolutionary in the Canna community and an activist, known for his exuberant spirit and compassionate heart. Throughout his 3.5-year battle with aggressive bladder cancer, Dave continued to inspire those around him with his resilience and dedication to advocacy. His work stretched from his foundational role in events like the Seattle Hempfest and the CannaCon business expo to his contributions to cultivation and breeding as well as photography that appeared in several magazines and books including the back cover of James Loud’s breeding book which James admires as the best male photo of a plant ever taken.
This episode not only features Dave's own words but also includes touching tributes from his friends. Known for his long, curly hair and a personality just as vibrant, Dave's passion for life and helping others left an indelible mark on his community. He loved sharing cannagars and his flower with those who would appreciate it, and his famous pecan and strawberry rhubarb pies were well known inside and outside of the canna community.
As we celebrate Dave's remarkable life, we also aim to support his family during this difficult time. In line with Dave's giving nature, a fund has been established to help cover the costs associated with his medical bills and upcoming memorial service. We invite you to make a contribution to honor Dave's legacy and help alleviate the financial burdens his family faces.
