Remembering David on his birthday today with love, gratitude, and deep fondness. We spent two thirds of our lives together; I love you still. I miss your presence, your brilliance, your sensitivity, your curiosity, your quirkiness, your smile, your vulnerability, your honesty, your tenderness, and your hand in mine. I hope you know how very much you were loved, cherished, and admired! Rest in well-earned peace, my love! ❤🌹❤

R.I.P. David Cope (May 17, 1941- May 4, 2025): Composer, inventor, author, novelist, memoirist, visual & conceptual artist, software engineer, professor, provost, cellist, conductor, polymath, edible mushroom enthusiast, .... and, of course, father.
Too much to say and too soon to say it, or to find a way to say it... beyond noting that he went peacefully -- albeit as suddenly as is possible after a long illness -- doing so at home, his wife's (my mother's) hand in one of his hands, mine in the other. Stephen Cope |

We are deeply saddened by the news of David's passing. Our thoughts
are with the Cope family during this time. It has been a great
privilege and joy to embark on this journey together. Thank you,
David.

David left this life at 5:35 p.m. today. I'm heartbroken, grieving,
but relieved that he is free of the demons torturing him! sympathy. ❤️❤️😔
