Their book was one of the final projects they collaborated on before Dave’s tragic passing at the age of 66 in February. Earlier this week, Si gathered with Liliana, Dave’s widow, and their family and friends for a heartfelt tribute night to celebrate his life.
Si remarked about the touching night, posting photos of the gathering: “We had a wonderful evening reminiscing about our dear friend and the room was filled with love as you’d expect Dave would have loved it.” A warm thank-you was extended to those who attended: “Thank you to all that could make it you made it very special.”

Dave lost his battle against cancer, something he bravely faced in 2022, which he publicly revealed during their Hairy Bikers – Agony Uncles podcast. He expressed his reasons for keeping his cancer situation private to The Guardian, mentioning his aversion to people conducting internet searches or offering unsolicited advice, stating: “I don’t want to be judged yet”.
At that point, he was midway through his chemotherapy regime and had temporarily paused filming for their show, The Hairy Bikers Go West.
