Who’s Dave?
Dave Trout was a family man, musician, actor, tinkerer, motorcycle-riding minister with a passion for clocks, trains, God, and all His people.
Somebody said there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who wake up and say, “Good morning, Lord,” and those who wake up and say, “Good Lord, morning!” Well, I’m still saying, “Good morning, Lord.”
Who’s Dave?
Dave Trout was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in August of 2011. Throughout his chemo and radiation therapies, he sent out email updates to friends and family. In many of these, he relates humorous stories to express both his emotions during his ordeal and his immense gratitude for the support he received. Invariably, his upbeat and positive tone served to uplift recipients as well as the sender.
For the past nine weeks, this old body of mine has been zapped, punctured, weighed, measured, tested, probed, prodded, shot, and given toxic chemicals. But still, “It is well with my soul.”
Who’s Dave?
Dave Trout was possessed of an unshakeable faith. He inspired and encouraged through his communications to his circle of loved ones, and he cherished every lesson God taught him along his difficult journey.
Mercies to me are grace-gifts: friendships that help sustain me through hard times, gracious care given to me by one who loves me, miracles which continue to happen even though I may not notice right away . . . . I’m working at keeping my priorities straight, and the things in this life in proper perspective.
Who’s Dave?
Dave Trout died of esophageal cancer on September 18, 2013, a day that dawned with a spectacular sunrise. Dave’s Updates was composed not because Dave died but because Dave lived. He inspired everyone who knew him, and he will inspire everyone who continues to read his words.
