~* IN MEMORIAM DAVID SWENINGSEN *~
Long time FReeper “Bruinbirdman”, aka bbm. David Keith Sweningsen, passed away on June 9, 2013, in Las Vegas. bbm was a veteran and a patriot, and a prolific poster on Free Republic. Please post your memories of Bruinbirdman on this thread. He was a long time donor to Free Republic, and I’m sure any donation, large or small in his name would be greatly appreciated.
May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Cincinna
from the obituary: Dave Sweningsen, 66, beloved son, brother and uncle, of Boulder City, passed away June 9, 2013, in Las Vegas. Dave was born Nov. 10, 1946, in Long Beach, Calif., to Charles and Jean Goddard Sweningsen. He graduated in 1964 from La Habra High School and was most proud to be a Bruin graduate of UCLA in 1969. Immediately following, Dave served honorably in the U.S. Army. Dave pitched throughout high school and also in the Senior Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa., September 1962. He was a staunch L.A. Dodgers and L.A. Lakers fan. He enjoyed fishing and boating, especially with his father. Dave was a loving caregiver to his mother and father for the last 12 years in Boulder City. Dave had a passion for politics and enjoyed talking with others about their views. He enjoyed the company of his many nieces and nephews, also his great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jean Sweningsen. He is survived by his father, Charles Sweningsen of Boulder City; a brother, Christian Sweningsen of New York; a sister, Jill (Joe) Hardy of Boulder City; and many nephews and nieces.

RIP Dave, my condolences to Daves family and friends
Rest in peace, Bruinbirdman! We will miss you! Prayers for his family and friends.
Rest in peace, FRiend. I have only positive memories!
Prayers up for Dave and his loved ones.
GOD’s speed.
I first found FR while in college, and I really was green behind the ears. Guys like bbm, especially bbm, gave away so much knowledge so freely on FR over the years, I want any of bbm’s people who read this to know he really influenced many regulars from the earlier days of this forum, and he’ll be missed.
Godspeed.
RIP Friend.
May God Bless David and comfort his family.
R.I.P.
RIP
RIP bbm
May your reward be great in Heaven, bbm. Rest in Peace as I’m quite sure more than a few of us here will be with you someday in Paradise. But then we won’t be complaining much, will we!
Rest in Peace
