Just learned today from another forum that one of the members have passed away from heart attack on Thursday.
David Cramer: I have started to enjoy his work, especially his SandHill Cranes shots from Bosque.

He will be missed.

Troy, thank you for making us aware of this. How truly sad and what a great loss for us all.

Yes he will be. I met him a my trips to NM. He was a great guy, always eager to help me with logistics and locations. he last time I saw him he took me to see wild horses near his home.
Very shocking news!

I am truly sad to hear this. I never had the privilege of meeting David in person but through this site I came to know him to be a man of generous spirit and a kind nature. He will totally be missed.

This is such sad news. I have always enjoyed his work and participation on the Forum. He will be missed terribly.

Very sad news Praying for Dave and his family Will be missed

OMG, she just commented on one of my pics in OOTB!!!!

How sad, he got one of the wildlife IOTY this year too with his horses.

How sad....

That was the ironic part. I saw a post by someone congratulating him on the recent published work, and then minutes later, another post announcing his passing.
It felt weird today, make you appreciate life event more and at the same time, how short it is. So, go out and shoot as much as you can.

Very sad, he made some spectacular images. Life is fragile.

Oh man....this just sucks....I didn't get a chance to get together with him this year at Bosque.........another talent taken way too early!

Very sad news. All my best to his family and friends.

This is shocking and terrible, I really feel sad. He just commented on my photo on Thursday :(

David also kindly sent me lots of nice samples from a Nikon lens that I was interested in, he always left nice comments for my photos.

My deepest thoughts and prayers for David, friends and family.

A loss for the entire BPN community.

This was such sad news and so sudden. David was so fit and healthy and full of life. He will be missed and my next trip to Bosque will not be the same without his guiding sevices and his companionship. It was a pleasure to have known him and to have photographed with him.

Terrible news!

I just had read his latest article in Nature Photographer and checked out his workshop ad. What a sad event. So sorry for his family and friends. He and his legacy will remain with me. JR

Such sad news and my deepest sympathy to family and friends.

prayers for his family. quite a loss

I don't know how I missed this sad news, but I was just informed by a fellow photographer in the field yesterday. I am shocked and saddened. I had not met Dave in person but spoke with him by phone when I was at Bosque in November. His talent and love for wildlife, especially the wild horses, was amazing. He personally encouraged me and gave me some guidance about shooting in New Mexico.

He will be missed by us all and his passing is a great loss to the community.

Couple of obits to pass along:
