Remembering Our Friend Dave Schwartz

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to let you know that Dave Schwartz has passed away. Dave spent 22 years at The Weather Channel. He was a fan and staff favorite because he so obviously loved what he did and had a unique ability to draw viewers into the fascinating world of weather. His passion for weather was contagious and inspired many to enter the field of meteorology. His love of weather will never be forgotten, he will be greatly missed.

Dave is the best! Remembering him July 31, 2020!

I'll never forget Dave Schwartz.

I lost it when Kelly Cass cried at the end. Schwartz will be and continues to be my inspiration as I enter meteorology school. You will not be forgotten David!! :(

[@fashionwire3364]

Back in the 90's I watched The Weather Channel just to see Dave. Something about him just made me smile. My husband and I called him "Dave, the cool weather guy". Rest in peace, buddy.

[@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN]

R.I.P. Dave Schwartz. When I was a kid, he always was able to explain the weather so that even a ten year old could get it.

[@karenb.6263]

Godspeed, Dave...you will be missed by many. Please support cancer research & treatment.

[@richardblayneamerican8149]

Just remembered Dave's easygoing manner; always made him a pleasure to watch. Sort of like the 'Bob Ross' of meteorologists. R.i.p. Dave, and thanks.

[@Dragracer612]

I feel terrible for not knowing he passed away. I somehow missed it...I assumed he had retired. He was a total icon at TWC. I used to call him Captain Geography. He could rattle off the smallest of towns anywhere in the country, and never miss a beat. RIP, Dave.

[@scottp6539]

Dave was FUN to watch. FUN OCM. HE DID NOT Read a script! NO One is like him on any Weather Network today! RIP Dave!!

[@michaelg7402]

He's my cousin. He was even more amazing off camera. I miss him every day.

[@BrevinWickham-zz9iq]

It's like, "How do you move on, when you've lost your best friend?"

[@jaetowns]

I indirectly worked with him...I worked in the digital department and me and my coworker were sitting at our desk and he simply sat with us and introduced himself “Hi, I’m Dave”. He shook our hands and he just wanted to know what we did and I remember him just being so kind and humble...he was a very sweet man.

[@DougCeleste]

How blessed you were to know and work with him. All of us wish we could have known him, too.

[@gordonsmead5730]

I am so sad. Happy trails, Dave.

[@lifemarketing9876]

I'm going to niss Dave...Iv'e been watching the weather channel since I was 6 years old. He was the funniest meteorologist ever. He had a charming and witty personality. RIP dave.

[@Shirai_Ryu1989]

When I seen video it had me in tears R.I.P Dave Schwartz

[@drjaygarlicandwx]

Rest in peace "My Friend", Dave Schwartz - you were one the most influential meteorologists on The Weather Channel. Your ability to deliver the weather with wit, charm, and grace was second to none. You were interesting, genuine, and kind. May the forecast be bright and sunny wherever you are - your spirit lives on with many.

[@itchyallover9]

My favorite on TWC. RIP "My Friend"

[@danieltondorf-dick6083]

To the late and great Weather Channel meteorologist Dave Schwartz, thank you very much for everything, my friend. Rest in eternal peace. You are definitely missed.

[@keepingitreal71]

I remember when the weather channel started in 1982... They used to be on air for 24 hours a day and not reality TV crap at night and most weekend days... back then it was all weather ALL THE TIME... It has been 5 years and it still kills me to this day...

[@spiderxand]

I am very sorry for your loss.

[@KATTAMR]

What a great man.

[@jackiehorn5908]

Oh I'm so sorry ,prayers to all who knew him and those who loved him

[@rickfiltz5211]

He simply was THE BEST

[@kenpeterson2178]

cool weather person

[@scottytravers6714]

I practically grew up with Dave ever since the Weather Channel came to my home on cable. In the early 90's, I remember seeing him and said, he is going to be one to remember, and until this day, he set himself apart from the other meteorologists and being one of the most likable guys on the air. From his caring personality to his comedian side, Dave was there for all us, during sunny days to severe weather. Always letting us all know what was coming and urging us to be sensible about the dangers of weather. He felt it was important to not just tell us about the weather, but to educate us as well. Thank you Dave for the many years and for several good laughs along the way as well. You will be surely missed deeply in our hearts. May you rest in peace sir, up there, above the clouds!

[@nathanlujan1628]

I grew up with the "Live By It" era of the Weather Channel, and Dave always seemed to me like an actor who was performing as a meteorologist. He just had that style that was so intriguing to viewers like me. I'm gonna miss him. I hope his life was filled with joy and excitement. RIP Dave 😢

This is hard. He was the best there was, and not just as a meteorologist, but as a good human being. I only wish I could've gotten to meet him. Rest in Paradise my friend.

[@zeiadchreih2782]

I've been watching the weather channel since 1992, when I was 14 years old. I've always been an avid Dave Schwartz Fan, he's the reason I love weather. I've been so devastated since learning about his passing. He Was so positive regarding his illness, he survived cancer twice, then it came back 10 years later and took him away. I'm really saddened, God bless the soul, and bless his family.

[@jasonwithers9272]

😔 So sad.. I only saw him on TWC when he came back, but I'm still sad. I loved his enthusiasm for weather.. Prayers with his family..

[@jaydenramkissoon02]

I have watched Dave on the Weather Channel since I was like 7 yrs old. He was one of my favorite person to watch on the Weather Channel. He loved doing his job, loved helping people and making sure they know about the upcoming situations, and I just loved watching him work. The way he works makes me want to do he did as a meteorologist. Dave R.I.P. you're a GREAT man and you will be missed.

[@LynyrdSkynyrdFan]

Out of respect, Id remove the ad from this tribute. It is not appropriate under the circumstances and due to the content. RIP Mr. Schwartz.

[@KingofDSLR]

One thing that I've remember what Dave Schwartz said. "Severe Weather ain't going to happen!!" I never forget what he said. He got me laughing with the certain word. I watch him alot of time!!

[@Granite]

I think we can all learn something from this man.

[@togue777]

I remember the first time I saw Dave on TWC I thought that this guy looks like some dashing, well manicured car salesmen. After I watched him for about 10 minutes I realized how genuine he was and always enjoyed his upbeat demeanor thereafter. Despite the trials of what he went through he may have looked very drawn yet he kept his great smile and humor right till the end. You were a great inspiration for both meteorologist and cancer sufferers Dave and you will be missed.

[@SillyYou1]

I just found out what happened to Dave Schwartz. I always loved watching him on the Weather Channel he was funny and lighthearted. I had no idea he died of cancer, since we were rallying around my sister-in-law who had breast cancer, and passed in March of 2016 sadly. RIP Dave and my dear Kris.

[@seththomas9105]

I work on call and travel in my job and get called to work at all hours of the day and night. The TV in the hotel is always set on the WC channel so when I get up thats what comes on. Dave Schwartz at 4 in the morning would always give me a chuckle and smile. What a great job Dave.Even though we never met he affected my life by giving me a little boost when I have to get up in the middle of the night to go to work. Until we meet again my friend, see you later.

[@delmer2389]

I always watched Dave as a kid. I was about 7 or 8 years old at the time. Man he knew how to give a forecast. His coolness, his class, his charm, his PERSONALITY was just amazing. Now I'm 19 and I'm wanting to become a meteorologist. Dave is a big part of my inspiration to become one. I saw him a couple of weeks ago on TWC but he seemed dreary-eyed and tired. I was shocked when I heard the news that he passed away. I still can't believe it. Rest in Peace 'my friend'! So many of us are going to miss ya'!
