Commented Morgan and Mercedes Lander: "This is the hardest for us because not only was Dave our manager, he was also our father. Through it all, he was there to ease our worry, lighten the load and the situation, and make things work no matter what. He was the 'every man,' taking on tasks from booking shows to loading the trailer. He did it all! And despite all the odds, he helped to make our dreams of being a successful band a reality. His dedication to the band and his family were something that no money could ever buy. He was a husband, father, manager, and friend. We celebrate his life and his accomplishments on December 12 in true Dave Lander fashion; with a stiff drink and some loud music. Our Daddy would be proud!"
