Amy, Eddie and Byron are both out of the hospital and although very badly bruised and banged up, both were able to attend Dave's funeral. Such a tragedy...Dave touched many lives, and he will be missed by all who knew him. May God be with his family and friends at this very difficult time.
The Elsen family have been The Bender fans for many, many years. We are very sorry and saddened by this tragic event. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families involved.
Has anyone heard how Byron & Edward are doing. I can't find anything. I hope they are recovering & my prayers are with all of them.
We heard about his death today as I took my son to guitar lessons. It was fun listening to him play as I was waited for my son to finish up his lesson with his teacher next door. Sorry for your loss.
What sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to the guys in the band and their families.
This is such a tragedy! My son has taken guitar lessons from Dave for over a year now, Dave was a WONDERFUL instructor! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave's family and friends.
David was my son's guitar teacher a few years ago. We are extremely shocked and saddened by this news. He was a fun teacher, an awesome musician, and a great guy. We will miss him greatly.
So very sad to hear this. I have been a fan of the band for several years and really like the guys on and off stage. My God keep him safe.....
thats so sad i had the pleasure of meeting all of them last summer at a pool party a few days after the fourth they were pefroming at they are all such nice guys my thoughts and prayers are with them and their familys as they try to heal and morn the loss of a friend im so sorry!
David Keller was my brother. Our family is still in shock - another story reported that none of the people in the van were wearing their seatbelts - PLEASE, PLEASE everyone - wear your seatbelts - David might be alive today if he had been wearing one. He will be very very missed by all of us. He is survived by a daughter, his Dad and two sisters.
How very sad. Wichita has once again lost a great musician.
This band was on its way to play for the Annual BBQ at Westmoreland in Pottawatomie County. We were all shocked to hear of the accident.
