Dave helped us for 20+ years with his sound gear expertise at Guitar Center. One of the most knowledgable and humble professionals I have known. Sad to hear about Dave. We are praying for peace to his divine soul.

Lots of fun times hanging out at shows. Remembering that Shinedown show in August, 2010. All those fans that bought a cd thinking they were going to get it signed by the band. Little did they know that we took over their signing table!! Disappointed that I didn’t get to say goodbye to you but I will always remember the good times!!

Dave was a dear friend of mine, although I never got a chance to play with him, he and i always talked about it but I think he worked to much at the music store lol. We’ve lost a kind soul and a really stand up man. Gonna miss you Dave fly on my brother.

David Boruvoy was one of a kind! A brilliant guy that had so many talents. Dave could have become whatever he wanted to become as he was an extremely intelligent guy. He was always working thirty transactions at a time at Guitar Center. HE ALWAYS HAD MY BACK! I have been in contact with him regularly since his diagnosis. He certainly faced his challenges with courage. I will NEVER forget this special guy as long as I live and breath on this earth. My prayers and best thoughts will always be there for David Boruvoy! REST IN PEACE GOOD BROTHER! Steve Badalament

I met Dave in December of 2000 when I got a job at Guitar Center. I can just hear him thinking "oh great, another punk 17 year old." Then, he heard me play guitar and we instantly became friends, he very quickly took me under his wing and began showing me the ropes. I only worked with Dave for 1 year, but I was fortunate to get an additional 24 years of friendship, though I thought of him more like a brother. We shared a love for music that spawned many many crushing jam sessions over the last quarter century. At one point, we jammed so much, he brought his electric kit over. I am very thankful he called me to shoot the shit on Wednesday, having no idea that would be the last time I would hear his familiar and warm voice. Dave didn't show a ton of emotion, but could never hide a smile while we were jamming.

Dave was 1 of a kind, the type of friend you only wish you had by your side. He was unapologetically himself and always told it like it was. This loss hurts bad, but only because there are so many great memories to sort through. My heart and love goes out to anyone feeling similarly, I have a big hug for you.

I love you brother, always have and always will. Part of you will always be here with me jamming, until we meet again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I worked with Dave for nearly 10 years and knew him for close to 30. Like many here, I need to echo that Dave had a beautifully rough and unpolished exterior, but when you got to know the dude within, you realized he was an incredibly smart guy, who was thoroughly authentic and unapologetically genuine. He was also a loyal friend and one hell of a drummer. We went to many heavy metal shows together, my favorites of which being Living Colour and Motley Crue. Knowing Dave taught me that cliche of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” is a REAL thing. Dave was always true to who he was, no bullshit and I always admired that about him. We should all be so lucky to be a portion of how genuine he was. I also am lucky I knew him and I could call him my friend. RIP Dave, I’ll miss you probably more than you ever would’ve realized. Tell Dime and Vinny we said hi.
