David Revie

We are very sad to say that David Revie, a passionate member of the Hard of Hearing Forum, North DENS and many other groups including Spelthorne Committee for Access now, has passed away. 

David was such a great character and a real champion for the rights of those with a hearing impairment.  David also did what he could to encourage people to check in on each other, his concern was for those living on their own. 

Until recently David was sending his own lockdown log to check in with us and to share news.   David will be very much missed by all of us here at the Coalition.

David was a force of nature! I remember meeting David at my first hard of hearing forum, he very quickly told me exactly what the issues for hard of hearing people are, and the inequalities that they face. Aside from his determination to improve life for people with hearing loss, David was also a thoroughly lovely man and I enjoyed getting to know him very much. He will be greatly missed by all at the Coalition and we will not forget him.

A real privilege to be a friend of David. I always enjoyed our discussions about technology, deafness and hearing about his life stories. A wonderful, kind and caring man with a great sense of humour, he’ll be very much missed.

I first met David about 20 years ago when my late husband and I first became involved with local disability groups and forum. Even though we knew his health had been deteriorating recentlly it was still a shock to learn that he had passed away.

RIP David
