Austin cyclist “Reverend” David Dillon passes away

ATXBS is reporting that local cyclist David Dillon passed away last Friday at the age of 35. 

Here are more details:

The Austin bike community lost a friend with the passing of David Dillon, known to friends as Reverend Dave, on Friday, June 5, 2009, at the age of 35. Dave moved to Austin from Oklahoma City in 2008 and worked on NuVinci bicycle hubs for Fallbrook Technologies. There were few things that Dave loved more than bikes, skateboarding, and snowboarding. He could be found at Critical Mass or the various bike events around town, or alternately at the Alamo Drafthouse or with a Fat Tire beer at Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, his favorite local hangout. Before moving to Austin, he was a fixture in the OKC bike scene. He was a generous, good friend, and he will be missed greatly. May he ride on in peace.

Services will be held Thursday, June 11th at 1pm at Yanda and Sons Funeral Home in Yukon, Oklahoma. Friends will gather Wednesday, July 15th at 6pm, at Wahoo’s Fish Tacos for a mug dedication. A memorial bike ride will be planned.
