Dave's Rave

David's Dreamland

David Ray Eakerns

"Here's it's David's first weekend out since goodbye party.... and he's got a massive rave going on in the forest! And I'm sorry, but how did he get baby Yoda to show up!?!?"

The love of my life passed away on December 11, 2023. We had our moments and we weren't always too kind to each other, but our love was stronger than most. He understood me more than anyone in this world ever could. I tried to understand him just as much, but I'm not sure I had the same gift he possessed, being able to see someone's sould hidden so deep. I did understand him pretty well though, and I loved him even more. He was a raver his entire life and it was something that gave him peace in a world that was sometimes almost too bearable to withstand. He carried the weight of the world so that others could have a little less to carry themselves.

Dave? Or Rave?

In his honor, I wanted to throw a Cemetery Rave, but perhaps that's a little unethical. So, virtually, I turned to AI. I hosted a small digital rave called David's Dreamland which is also his digital memorial. I know David would like to have people carry his legacy and do what's right in this world, treat people with kindness, and do something to make a positive impact on the world around us. I hope to be able to host more online events in his honor. We're open to taking suggestions. We're open to hearing your stories. We'll post your pictures. Since David is no longer able to grow old on this planet, we'd like to grow his legacy on line.

Also, if you've lost someone you care about and would like to do something in their honor, we'd love to lend a helping hand. We're willing to build websites, write eulogies, create flyers, build playlists, photo collages, or put together something special to honor your loved one as well especially if you need help technologically! We want people to know that no one should be ashamed of who they are! You should be celebrated in life for being who you are the way you deserve and this goes for in death as well. Too many ravers, underprivileged people, untraditional individuals, and those in protected classes as well.

Help us change the world to make positive improvements and help us lift those who are oppressed or made to feel unwelcome to participate in open celebration of who they are!
