How sad that David has passed away. I think he was a kind person based on what others have said about him. He was a tortured individual and alcoholic, but so was his father. It's unfortunate that his life ended so tragically. At the end he needed a liver transplant. He was my first teen idol even before Donny Osmond. Whatever you think of David Cassidy, "I Think I Love You" will always be a classic.
A reminder of happy days...I hope he has found that peace.

Sadly, he announced last year that he was suffering from dementia, something that his mother and a grandparent had also suffered from, and something he had been anticipating

Medically, I doubt that there would have actually been approval for a liver transplant, had there been time before his death.

Yes, I thought the same thing about the liver transplant. Chances are his dementia was drug/alcohol related as well, especially as it came so young. My grandfather experienced an early dementia though and in his case it seemed to be Alzheimer's. It's really very tragic. I brought out my Hallmark Christmas ornament of the Partridge Family bus in his memory. Well, I have learned over the years, having clinical depression in my family, that people with that infliction are of often the nicest and most sensitive people. It's interesting that his son Beau is a singer. I've never heard him has anyone else? Here is reference to Beau's emotional instagram post:
