RIP Hairy Biker - Dave Myers

Was watching them last night, I was quite shocked to see how much weight he'd lost, very sad, always such a jovial happy man, RIP.
 
This is really sad. He looked frail in the show and I hoped he was going to recover more fully. Their cooking was always very honest and unpretentious, but it glossed over their skill levels. You would just see a deft bit of knifework followed by an apparently straightforward sauté and bink, it was done. Oh, it's that easy. Just like Lionel Messi can stop, turn around a defender and roll the ball around as if it's attached to his ankle with string. Now you do it. RIP, a very genuine chap.
 
I think it was pretty obvious that what you saw with him, was what you got. No edge or pretension. He was much loved on Strictly, not for the dancing (please, BBC, don't revive that for the memorial reel) but everybody on the programme seemed genuinely fond of him.
 
My wife and I had the great pleasure to pull up alongside Si King in a ferry terminal in France and got to have a lengthy chat whilst waiting to be boarded, he is a HiFi and music lover and came across as being completely genuine and just like his TV persona. The following is copied from the Hairy Bikers Facebook page and says it all - RIP Dave.

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.
Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.
I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.
May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.
Love Si x
