I remember the first time I saw David on TV. I am sure my mouth dropped on the floor, at his exquisite beauty, the hair, and that dazzling smile and the naughty twinkle in his eyes. He eyes expressed so much love, fun, and mischievousness. He was simply the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. David’s beauty, his passion, and his talent was unmatched. What David possessed was so rare. I think it was incredibly hard for him to grasp the effect he had on his fans and why he was suddenly catapulted into this teen idol life and the effect he had. He could make an audience of women wait with baited breath to hear the “BUT” in the song “Could it be Forever”. He never understood how that drove the women wild. His articulate diction when speaking, the singing voice, both commanded your complete attention. He never completely believed in himself and couldn’t see why he was so mesmerising with all the talent and charisma he possessed and why his fans loved him so. He was a complex guy who emotionally was fragile. He carried a lot of pain and hurt within himself, so many fans somehow identified with that and took solice in David’s music to escape their own emotional pain and hurt in real life. He was for some a lifeline to get them through their own experiences of pain and hurt. David desperately wanted to be taken seriously for his craft as an actor, a serious broadway actor he wanted the roles that stretched his creativity. It’s sad that he is still seen by so many as the air head pretty boy Keith, that was never allowed to escape that image and to grow and mature way beyond that role, that really ate him up inside. As much as I loved the Partridge Family as the rest of the fans. I really love and prefer the music that came after the raw talent of the real David’s songwriting and creativity. He really had great expressive talent in the music and acting world. I personally like the older photos that show him as a man. As who he was now like the generation that grew up with him. He hated being referred to as “teen idol” it’s like someone saying hey you don’t look like you did at 21 yrs old when you are 67 years ! Who of us are the same people we were then ! that is unrealistic and self depreciating to anyone. To be typecast in a role for an any actor is a kind of suicide to their acting career. When that happened or he could see it happening he wanted to move on to pastures new. He had so much more than he was ever allowed to demonstrate. It’s heartbreaking that he still isn’t given, and doesn’t get the respect or recognition he deserves. It saddens me he is no longer here to just love, be loved, as he wanted and to enjoy the rest of his life. He gave so much and had so much more living to do his way. It’s painful to know of the mental and emotional anguish that threw him into addiction, an addiction that he admitted he didn’t even enjoy. It just helped to blot out and numb the pain and loneliness he felt. There are not many Stars and yes he was and is a Star who have stood the test of time. David has the enduring, endearing love, of his true fans. To those that love, admire, respect him, and hold him in the highest regard for the kind, caring, beautiful man that he was. For his enduring friendship, for the Love, joy, light, and pleasure he brought to so many. David you really Made the Difference! and you still are ♥️Camellia Hoare

DAVID ALWAYS PUT HIS HEART AND SOUL IN EVERYTHING HE DID YOU CAN HEAR IT IN HIS MUSIC OUR KING OF HEART FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

I have been a huge fan and loved David since I was a young girl and I still am a huge fan and love David. Just miss knowing he is here with us and no longer able to make new music or talk in an interview or show us that special smile he had. We will forever miss this man that we adored ♥ Love you David Bruce Cassidy now and forever ♥

David was my first love brought me through the my teen years, which although I was from a big family I was the youngest and spent a lot of time alone in my room listening to David reading and looking at his pictures on my wall he has given me a lifetime of beautiful dreams and day dreams and now I am 60 I am listening and collecting his music again and watching him on TV. He lit my world up with his beautiful smile and that has never diminished, he's caring nature will always be remembered. Thank you David for making my world a better place to be xxxxxx

I still feel like a teenager every time I hear David's beautiful voice and music! How can that be? Must be LOVE!

I still feel like a teenager every time I hear David's beautiful voice and music! How can that be? Must be LOVE!

David, I only saw you once in 1985 at the age of 15 years. I was in awe of your music as I did not know your acting side. I am proud of the person you were. Much love sweetheart ❤

I love you David, l have always loved you and l will love you every day that l draw breath. You were the most unique individual and your legacy of music and love will go on forever God Bless You xxx

David, you were my first love at age 12, I first saw you in concert at 14 and finally met you after loving you for 22yrs and you were so kind and the most beautiful soul I’d ever met. One of the best days of my life. You died on an already sad day, what would have been my Grandmother’s birthday. You made such a huge impact on my life, I even named my cat after you. I will cherish you always. DC 4-ever ❤️

You will always and forever be in my heart. You made everyone so happy and we will never forget you Darling David.

David’s music has brought me so much joy over the years that it almost feels like I knew him personally...But alas,I didn’t.David Cassidy was the kind of star that only comes around once or twice in a generation and that’s why I don’t worry about his legacy getting lost.I know that many years from now my grandchildren will know his name and his work.Future generations will be enjoying his music ,I am sure if that!❤️

I miss you David. You are my star and always will be. No one has touched me like you. You were one amazing, gorgeous man with a good kind soul. Wish you were here, but now you are at peace and that comforts me. God bless you.

David, you were my first love at 16 and I went to most of your UK concerts. I finally got to meet you on 16th November 2008 at the Hammersmith Apollo, which was the best night of my life and something I will treasure forever. Still the greatest love of my life and was devastated on your passing especially as it happened on my Birthday. Hope you are enjoying lots of heavenly music. Forever loved and missed ❤️ Xxx❤️

David you achieved your wish, your life “MADE THE DIFFERENCE” and you will always be remembered by those who love you with the Love, Light, and Kindness you brought into so so many lives. You were an extraordinarily uniquely gifted, talented, beautiful human being who had a big tender, sensitive charitable heart. You were a good friend to others. You cared, you did many kind, loving things that the public will never know. Things that you kept private. You stole the hearts of a generation of fans, that still hold you close, in a place only you can fill. Your voice echoes to us everyday. Your voice and music fills our hearts. Your beauty is ever before us. You will never be forgotten, you are forever missed, and forever loved. Fame found you, you never sought it, and it turned you into something you never wanted to be a (teen idol) The fame thrust you into a world of adulation you neither sought or wanted. It changed your life. With that life many changes and challeges came good and bad. But inspite of this all you remained a loving, caring, human being....When others seek to tear you down, we raise you up. We know you were a real person with flaws like the rest of us, but we choose to remember the good you did. We acknowledge the sacrifice and what it cost you. We remember the overwhelming joy and emotions you brought us and still do today. We know how you still have the capacity to make a women melt into a puddle with your gaze and smile. How you could have a room full of fans hanging onto to hear you say the word BUT.... from the song “could it be forever”. I know you didn’t get it or understand it. To hear you sing and be carried away to places deep in our hearts, to be mesmerised by your exquisite beauty. We remember you with respect and we honour your name, your family, and your life. You were a bright shinning star, whose light will never be dimmed. The Legacy you left behind, we continue to share. Your love of life, your passion, your dreams, your wishes, we continue to share to a new generation with your music and we keep you front and centre in all our tributes. Your life “Made a Difference “ to so many and it always will. This is how you deserved to be remembered ❤️

I remember the first time I laid eyes on David.It was on some show,can’t recall for sure which one but I think it was Bonanza.I was maybe 12 and my heart skipped a beat.That face was instantly seared into my brain.Then a year or so later I was in our neighborhood store and I glanced over at the magazine stand and there was that face again!That incredible face but now was able to put a name to it- David Bruce Cassidy.From that day forward I scoured the fan magazines for anything having to do with that perfect face.Soon I discovered he was going to star in a sitcom named The Partridge Family and I counted the days until it premiered.I couldn’t wait !That wonderful Friday night I’d been waiting for finally came around and I DARED anyone in our large family to even think about interfering with my special moment!Way back then I couldn’t video tape it but you can bet I had my cassette recorder taping the audio of the entire show.Soon every square inch of my bedroom walls were covered in his pictures.Before long I moved out of the bedroom I shared with my younger sisters and into our spare bedroom just to have more space for his pictures plus a little more privacy in which to write him countless letters in which I swore my everlasting devotion and undying love.I just knew he read every letter I wrote him.I was convinced that if I perfected my letter writing one day he would be going through his mail and he would naturally find mine.His fingers would tingle and his hands would start to shake when he picked up the envelope.Carefully he tore it open and removed the magical letter.After the first couple of sentences he would begin to realize that this girl with the strange name “Kew” was no everyday run of the mill fan.No,there was something extra special in this one.From that day forward he would scour over his mail praying he would receive another letter from Kew.Eventually dreaming about me wouldn’t be enough.No,he just HAD to meet this girl,me!!!....and to put the rest in a nutshell we would meet,fall madly in love and marry...whew! Even now,at the ripe old age of 63 my heart still skips a beat when I see videos of him in his heyday.Yep,David Bruce Cassidy really is my King of Hearts❤️

“A life that touches others goes on forever”
Yours was that life ! A Living Memory ! Making the Difference! A Legacy of Love !

Tribute to David Cassidy from Teri Coté to David’s Online Memorial Guest Book
from his friend, his drummer, and his band family :-)

David was completely unique,

He was a great performer, and a total natural as the stage was his living room. He was the most generous of all singer/entertainers that I've ever worked with and
the most gracious, constantly pumping up his band to try to make us all believe we were the best on the planet, because that's what he always
told us and felt. He was genuinely happy to see us shine on our instruments and loved being part of it. He told me, he always wanted to be part of a band, in other words, not always the front guy. That's what he created with us in a small sense and the position he desired, hence having me come out front to sing and he getting back on the drums, that was all his idea, the song I sang as well. I loved his genuine happiness when he played, like a young child in total bliss. I learned from himDon't get me wrong he had some other sides, he was human after all and had been through so much in his incredible life, as well as being internally lonely, I believe.
He could be very mischievous, and even aggravating at times, like an annoying little brother, and beyond but I honestly only witnessed that behavior when Iibations were involved. His real heart was extremely sweet and he was a true friend to me, in fact he used to call me True Blue, when referring to our friendship.
When we communicated by phone I would leave him silly operatic messages, mimicking an opera singer, he just got such a kick out of that and would always respond accordingly. I had a phone full of all those messages but thanks to Verizon, lost everything on the phone. It would have been a wonderful keep-sake, but no point in crying over spilled milk, right? (however, I did switch to Mobile!) David and my relationship consisted much on humor, and kindness, we always made the situation fun and funny no matter
the content, it kept things light, we saw eye to eye on that approach. Of course he had the knack, being the funniest person I've ever known. DC gave me opportunity in spades and I'm forever grateful to him for it. He always told me, he loved my drumming because I was a musician and not just a drummer, he'd say Hal Blaine was the best but I was up right there beyond all the other drummers he'd worked with because I play MUSIC and not just DRUMS (and he'd worked with the very best!) He said it all the time, especially in the end. Just putting me on the list with Hal Blaine was absolutely massive! DC did a lot for my musical and artistic ego : ) there was a vast space of love in his heart and he enjoyed building his bandmates up! He told me one day, "you'll look back and see this was THE BEST band you ever played with!"No one was as zaney or wild like DC. He made his band laugh A LOT, intentionally or not. That was one thing we were all great at, as well as making lemonade out of lemons, with the humor that ran within us all! I always loved to get out on the road with my brothers, my band family will always be the DC band. I have many bandmates in this life having played in so many bands and musical situations as I continue to do. Musicians and entertainers as you know, have a comradery as kindred spirits and have a bond with people after making art in sharing a gig or stage, but I only have one band family.
I miss David greatly, there's an empty space that will forever remain his. They say you don't know what you have till it's gone and it's so true, human behavior is such. However, I always saw deep into DC's spirit, loving him for who he truly was, and tried to bypass the outer shell, the residual from the frustrations of what this life had put on him. There's always residual, from the Human Condition and we all have it, which is why I try not to judge. DC gave all he could always! I know from being his friend and from the conversations we'd have, he was tired of the same ol' and maybe just pain tired. He used to tell me how his time in his heyday was the best time to live on this planet. I always figured that anyway. The 60's and 70's were prime, especially for musicians, he lived it at its best and knew it was never going to be that great again! He lived the life!! But still would get up and do it again though he knew that it would never be that great again. I did marvel at his tenacity! We in fact nicknamed him The Comeback Kid! There were times we thought for sure, he was done and we'd never have another gig, and then, low and behold more dates would come in. DC had the true performers mentality, The Show Must Go On!He gave so many, so much, me being one of them and just like all of you, I'm extremely grateful to have had him in my life. I'm extra grateful to have called him my friend and to love him.
Thank you all for being such loving fans, you know he sees you. He left us all a BOND!

Much love,
Cheers to you all,
Teri Coté
