  2. David Cassidy may you be at peace, a prayer for you, I have said, and may God’s love be with you, and your home in heaven be beautiful, and you will always be missed here on earth, and the love we have for you will always be with us. I’m glad David Cassidy got to be at peace in Saratoga, close to still peak through the clouds and check up on all the race horses.

  6. I will never be able to grasp those particles of ash being David, it is beyond painful to do so…I shall remain in denial and when I think of him, it will be his wide infections smile, his breathy singing style and his comedic timing…the best years of my life…he was and always will be part of me.

  7. As God welcomes our beloved David to heaven, we who loved and will always love him feel he is st rest. Thank you for giving him his last wish.
    RIP.

  10. David, you are now at rest in your favourite place, Saratoga Springs where you will forever be at peace. You will always be remembered for the very beautiful and talented person that you were, your passing has touched me so very deeply. Thank you for all that you gave to your many fans. I will always love and miss you so much. RIP dear David.

    Loving you always
    Your devoted fan Sandra

  11. Rest in Peace, beautiful David.
    Your family, friends and fans will always love and remember you.
    You are ALWAYS in our hearts.
    You, David, changed our lives forever by the light and love you brought to it.
    REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.

  12. We will always remember you in our heart and thoughts. You were talented, special and beloved.

  13. Rest in peace David. You have worked so hard and have given of yourself to so many. Thanks for sharing the gift of your beautiful voice and your kind soul with us all. I am thinking of those who were close to you and send them my heartfelt sympathy at this your last farewell. We, your fans, will always remember you, and are blessed to have been touched by your existence.

    And thanks very much to Jane for letting us know this news and keeping us connected to your work and memory.

  14. There are places I remember all my life though some have changed, some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall, some are dead and some are living in my life I’ve loved them all. But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you. I know I’ll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more! God rest baby. Karen Hobson XOXO.

  16. So sad ,but it is of great comfort to know you at rest in the place you loved so much ,and were surrounded by those you loved .and thinking of them too .David you were such a talented man ,who gave so much joy and love ,we as fan’s are holding on to that love ,for I have made new friend’s through you .remember you always .now you are free from pain .rest in peace David x

  20. david is at peace now, smiling from heaven, knowing his ashes are in a place he loved to be, his soul with god, gone but never forgotten,

  21. I am sure the specific location at the track for the scattering of ashes was David’s choice, but just a bit creeped out with the location where the horses are competing.

    Was picturing a more picturesque location at the track. Still — hugs to DC’s family and friends at this moment. He’ll always be a member of our families in spirit. Part of the history of millions.

    Fans can never forget the impact of his life — the good and the bad.
    We celebrate his life and mourn for the demons he could not conquer.
    We all have something we are constantly managing.

    It’s been an honor to be part of the David Cassidy history. It will always feel wrong to see his life end the way it did. Yet, God knew best.

    • Don’t feel uneasy, Mary. It’s a symbol of David’s modesty; a very deep and precious part of his character.

    • Yes, David wished for his ashes to be scattered at the Saratoga track. I would’ve liked David’s ashes to be mingled with his mother, Evelyn’s, and scattered privately in the New Jersey church yard where David starred as a soloist in the church choir. That is my personal wish – not David’s!

  22. Thank you Sue and Beau for sharing this moment with us it is difficult for us so how much more difficult it must be for you. God bless you. Happy trails David ❤❤

    • Thinking of Beau – very difficult to be the son of such a famous and talented father – and Beau is a talented man in his own right! Saw a clip of him recently in concert and was very impressed. Beau has many of his father’s mannerisms but is has his own, unique talent and presence.

  23. Hi Denice,
    I like your post! Yes may David Cassidy
    Rest In Peace! He has been gone for 10
    months. He was a person that made a
    difference! I am so glad he found his final
    resting place in Saratoga Springs! We all
    can keep loving him! I can’t wait unti
    May 20,2019, David Cassidy day at Saratoga!
    When I can meet again my very special friend
    Denice! Also all the special David Cassidy
    fans will meet in Saratoga! It is quite an
    experience. I love Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
    I get my cast off on Sept.10th!

  24. Thank you for the news and for the photograph – Jane – it means a lot.

    Thank you to David’s near ones for sharing this photograph.

    Very much appreciated.

  25. Goodbye beautiful Songman. You sang the songs that made the whole world sing.You sang the songs that made us laugh and cry. You sang the songs which were the tracks of our lives and we will carry you with us as long as we live. I hope you are still singing wherever you are.

  27. I Loved you Then
    I Love you Still
    I Always Have
    And I Always Will
    Dear David May you Forever Rest in Peace. I Am Devastated with Your Passing. I Struggle listening to Your Music without getting Very Upset. I Am💔. Thank You Jane and everyone who keeps this official page updated … keeping David’s Memories Alive for us. Thank You Sue and Beau for Sharing these Private Moments which are so Special to us also. I Love You and will Continue to Keep Abreast of everything Cassidy Related.

    Happy Trails My Beautiful Man ❤❤❤ From Lesley in Scotland xxx

  28. Thank you to David’s loved ones for sharing the photograph ,it has meant so much

  29. Yes, Jane please thank David’s loved ones who kindly shared this touching and personal photograph.

  30. David at peace now….thx for including us….will love David forever….and a day x👌💋😢💔💔

  31. Rest in Peace David, you’ll never be forgotten. Your music will always be played and you’ll be in my heart forever xxx

    • Rest in peace David. I was lucky enough to see you as a teenager in the UK. Your memory will live on and your legacy will be embraced by all who knew and loved you. Never forgotten.

  33. Rest in peace, David. Thanks for all the music, laughter and love you brought into our lives. You are loved and missed by all. 💔

  34. I had heard about David’s ashes being scattered at the track but wasn’t sure if it was just a rumor. I used to try to get a glimpse of him when he was there many summers ago. I remember seeing David and Beau walking around the mounting area, looking so happy together. I can only hope that his family and friends were there yesterday. Sam, were you there? It was just such a sad ending to such a beautiful life, it must have been so hard to watch and not be able to help. Find peace David, many people love you and always will !

  35. I hope you are Safe at home now dearest David. I will always love you. Happy trails beautiful!!!!!!!

  36. David Cassidy is really gone! What is left just
    memories. Good memories of David and love
    he had for everybody ! He touched so many lives!
    Thank you Jane for keeping the website going!
    To every fan that is reading this you are special!

  37. Rest in peace now dearest David, my first teenage crush that lasted almost half a century.
    The life and works of David Cassidy are legendary and we should all feel blessed to have enjoyed his music and performances… truly unique.
    Forever in my soul.

  38. So fortunate top have seen Cassidy live in concert only a few years ago, after being a lifelong fan. A totally unique vocalist .. one of the best ever. A legend.

  41. Your body is finally at rest. Your beautiful Spirit has been free almost 9 1/2 months. I remember you telling Dr Phil that you wanted to be remembered for your love. You are remembered for your love, sweet man, and we remember your light. With your Spirit, your love and light are more apparent than ever❣
    I’ve loved you for 2 years shy of 5 decades and I will continue to love you. You’re very much missed. Love You & Miss You Without End

  42. Thank you to Beau for carrying out your father’s wishes. Also thinking about David’s fans who donated towards David’s plaque at the Phoenix Theatre and can’t go to the unveiling due to only 60 places being available. I know that once a ‘David’ concert was advertised, but unfortunately was just a rumour … and David especially organised a real concert so as not to disappoint anyone! However, the fans who did donate towards David’s plaque will know a little part of that plaque is theirs if they ever walk past the theatre in London.

  44. I wrote this poem back in April, in memory of David:

    Please don’t cry, wipe away your tears
    I’ll be right here, in your memories for years
    Whisper my name, you’ll find I’m the same
    Just as you remember, minus my shackles of fame
    My demons are gone, and with them my pain
    I’m no longer searching for peace in vain
    I’m young and wild and free once more
    Shining even brighter than before
    ‘Til the day we meet in Heaven above
    Waste no more time and honor me
    by spreading light and love.

    • Thank you Marsha for sharing your poem with us, it’s so beautiful and touching, it really captures David and honors his memory so well.

    • Marsha, what a beautiful poem! I had several dreams of David between March and Juli this year and every time he looked radiant.

    • everyone has such wonderful things I see it all comes from the heart. I can say this I will never forget the joy I had going to the concerts with my sister and a friend. We went to many of them in new York and New Jersey. I remember my mom doing the driving. I think she was just as excited for us as we were going. I thank him for all the fun times he gave us. How many lives one life can touch. God rest your soul. hold a place for us up there David I will meet you up there one day.

    • Beautiful poem.He is finally free, in peace forever.Thanks David for the joy you give us.We will love you forever,beautiful and loving man.See you in heaven 😂💖💖💖From Chile, southamerica

  46. Gone to soon but never ever forgotten.
    Rest in peace dear sweet man.
    Love forever Dawn x

  54. David truly had so much talent! Not to mention very handsome! I wish we could see more specials of his life. I like to listen to his songs before I go to work; really anytime! He still has many fans who love him and miss him. So many beautiful words and shared memories of how his songs touched their lives; and still touching Our lives! He is still deeply missed by us all. Thank you, to his family for sharing precious memories with us (David’s fans).
    May you rest in peace David.

  56. I am touched that the family shared this special moment with us, David´s fans, I mean true friends. Yes, we are his and your true friends even though we have not met.
    We still feel for your loss and miss him deeply. David was a very special person indeed. He is in our hearts and you are in our prayers Beau, Sue and the whole family.
    A heartfelt hug to each one in David´s family, to Beau and Katie, and to each one of the fans.

  57. What a lovely poem Marsha!

    We have had so much rain this summer. I hope to see some sun along with the fall leaves!
    God bless you all,
    Debbie

  58. Beautifully written poem Marsha, David was a “one off”, we will never see the likes of him again. He was s beautiful person inside and out and I am sure his loss is felt around the globe. I hope to see more memorial plaques placed in honour and recognition of his incredible talent.

  59. Manyh thanks to David’s family and friends for sharing this special moment with us. He truly was and is a very unique person and we will always love him. There will never be anyone like David again.
    May you rest in peace my sweet man. Loved by so many. Happy trails.

    Sheila xx

  60. Rest In Peace. Love You Forever. You Will Always Be Cherished. So Many Memories. Thank You. Jane.

    Till we meet again, you will live always in my heart. God Bless you. I love you and miss you and will forever do ♥

  62. Dearest David Rock (Stardust) Cassidy’s beautiful soul is Home, and now his beautiful being is within everything beautiful in the Universe!

  64. Can you be only a cloud?
    It’s unbearably hard to take
    That dust could enchant a whole crowd
    And cause many a heart to forsake

    • Sian:

      Sidebar for a question — Unsure how we could talk directly by e-mail, but I need a contact in UK.

      Have used a particular portable player for CDs of classic radio broadcasts that I enjoy. In the past, I’ve been able to ship from UK, but contacts aren’t doing that any longer.

      Can we work together to have you purchase a few of these for me and I could reimburse you through an invoice from Paypal?

      Know it’s an “out of the box” question on the site, but I don’t know anyone in UK. Can you assist? How do we share emails directly?

      Thanks for reading.

  65. God looked around his garden
    And found an empty place.
    He then looked down upon the earth,
    And saw your tired face.

    He put His arms around you
    And lifted you to rest.
    God’s garden must be beautiful,
    He always takes the best.

    He knew that you were suffering,
    He knew that you were in pain.
    He knew that you would never
    Get well on earth again.

    He saw the road was getting rough
    And the hills were hard to climb.
    So He closed your weary eyelids
    And whispered “Peace be thine.”

    It broke our hearts to lose you
    But you did not go alone…
    For part of us went with you
    The day God called you home.

  69. i shall never forget david, playing his songs makes me smile, he left a legacy, and thank you for the website and facebook page jane, it has been lovely to be able to leave our special messages.

  70. That’s true Barbara ,his music was unique to David ,so many different kinds of song’s and his strong velvety voice .not to mention his lovely smiling face .I first liked him when I was 12 years old and at 58 I still do .could not have been just a teenage crush

  71. Lynnette that is beautiful. Thank you for posting it. David took a piece of many hearts with him.
    Love to you all,
    Debbie

  72. Thank you so very much to David’s family for sharing David’s final resting place with us. This has helped my heart feel lighter knowing he is resting in such a special place where he spent good times. I miss his messages so much and feel sad he is not earth with us all still. Thank you to Jane and the wonderful website.Angela Mitchell uk

  73. Hi to all my lovely friends…

    Hi Claudette, I had just been a bit busy lately but I am fine, thanks for asking. Hope you are OK too.

    Next September 21st, it will be his tenth months leaving us but it is going to be the unveiling of the Memorial plaque at Phoenix Theatre in London that same day, which I think David deserves so much. So it would be a bittersweet time for many of us.

    I miss you, my sweetie… so much 🙁

  75. Hi Debbie!
    I am in my second week of physical therapy.
    I walked down my hallways in my apartment
    building 5 times today. My physical therapist
    said the more I walk the stronger my foot will get.
    I still am on crutches. I do a crutch walk. Thank you
    for supporting me! I have 6 more weeks left of P.T

  77. Mike Read is the DJ who has been chosen to open David’s plaque, for anyone who is lucky enough to attend the event.

  78. Thank you to David’s fans who have explained to me David’s connection to Mike Read – they were good friends and David invited Mike to see him perform in ‘Blood Brothers.’ David played guitar with Mike and Rick Parfiit from Status Quo. Mike regularly plays DC music on his show and went to the trouble of playing David all day on what would’ve been David’s last birthday – making Mike the ideal choice in the UK to unveil David’s very special plaque!

  79. Hi Denice!
    After being house bound for 7 weeks, my doctor
    said I can finally drive! Who would of thought I
    could make such a quick recovery, after breaking
    my foot 7 weeks ago! Thank you to everybody
    who gave me words of encouragement!

  80. Can any of David’s fans who were lucky enough to see the unveiling of David’s plaque tell us how they got on? I hope we can see what it looks like on DC’s face book?

    • I was fortunate enough to attend the unveiling it was funny,happy,joyful,and emotional day all rolled into one.David would be so happy with this honour and the ladies behind this did such a marvellous job.We had video messages from Beau,Craig J,Teri,Petula,and Danny which all came from the heart, all their words were very comforting.Each guest received a personal name badge with a photo of David,a signed photograph of David,and a yellow rose,which is being named after David. We played videos and songs throughout Davids career,we laughed,we cried and all the fans connected with each other reliving our stories with each other,whether that was our favourite song,Partridge Family episode,when we first saw David in concert ,fantastic reminiscing with fans who loved and treasured him so much,a very memorable day. Mike Read who done the unveiling told fantastic stories about David as they were friends from 1976,and took the time for everyone to have their photograph taken with him. I would like to thank everyone involved getting this project up and running,you all did a great job,and a big thank you to all with their video message,especially Beau,we will start to heal and hope every day gets a little easier for you……Your Dad was so special to each of us who loved him throughout his career,we all “Wish You Were Here”……until we meet again xxx

      • Hi Yvonne, I read a lot of comments and saw a lot of videos of the event, especially love Beau´s video. Awww, his mannerism reminds me so much to his Dad!! I am sure David was there with you all, and yes I am also sure he would have been very proud of his fans and all the wonderful things they are doing to honor him.
        Someone talked about the yellow rose being sell not in a not long time from now. I would love to have one of them to remember David, though, I don´t need a rose for that 🙂 as I remember him everyday.
        Big hugs to you all, my lovely friends.
        Love you David and always will. God Bless you, my sweet man ♥

  84. 48 yrs ago today we all were introduced to David and the rest of the Partridge Family and our lives would be changed forever. Love to you David, always in our hearts

  85. Thanks Judy, what a ride it’s been , we followed David Cassidy from the beginning, and now us fans are making his legacy, we were so lucky to have had David Cassidy, touch our lives, he meant so much to us, thank you Yvonne for your post, I enjoyed reading, and glad you attended, you are a special special David Cassidy fan, David be at rest, and we will never ever stop celebrating you, and it’s our love for you that will always be bigger than ever.

  105. Someone told me that his ashes were spread at the Oklahoma training track not at the Saratoga race track. I’m confused as it been said that it happened at the Saratoga race track. Not the training track. I will appreciate an answer very much! Thank you!

  106. You are at peace at last David, you are missed by your fans, I just wish you were still here with us. You gave us the gift of your music and great talent. Miss you and love you. 💖🦋
