Dave King was found not breathing, unresponsive at his home. He was pronounced dead. I am in shock. The family has asked me to get there as quickly as I can. They just lost their Mom a few months back, now the three girls have lost Dad. I will do my best to pull everything together for Dave and family as we made this deal with each other many, many years ago.
Please know it will be very different. It will take some time to work through this. All my effort will be to carry on in the way things have always been. United Street Machine Assoc. is solid and strong. With help from the greatest, dedicated staff of volunteers to all the fantastic car owners USMA will continue to achieve great events.
Our President, one of our Founding Fathers along with Rod Dotten and myself is gone. Dave was 65. Retiring from Honda with 29 ½ years May 1st. His daughters Ann, Carol and Mindy thank the hundreds of cruisers who have sent condolences by cards and emails. You are the best!
I have lost one of the most important people in my life. It will never be business as usual, we have been partners for 41 years, our families have a lifetime of memories together since 1971. Dave believed in our motto, “Cruise today like it may be your last.”
The President of USMA has died. Our life he touched through 7,000 members, hundreds of thousands of event participants will continue on with a very heavy heart.
It is 2:45 Saturday morning. I am in Frankenmuth Michigan with my baseball team. Some of the worst news I have ever received in my life just happened. Carol King just called 1 hour ago to tell me my partner, one of my best friends of my life; a man who has shared every thought of family, USMA, what best friends do is gone.
A CRUISING LEGEND IN METRO DETROIT HAS DIED.
UNITED STREET MACHINE ASSOC. PRESIDENT, DAVE J. KING
Oct. 27, 1946 - Apr. 14, 2012
