Dave Bewley-Taylor

September 24, 1968 - November 20, 2024

Dave was our dear friend and colleague. He left us much too soon. He was a colossal intellect. He was generous with his time and his guidance. He was a leading light in the global drug policy reform movement and inspired many others through his ideas, his advocacy and his academic enquiry. As a friend, Dave was fiercely loyal - always ready to fight your corner. He had an incredible sense of humour, sharp and witty, alway ready with a smile and a laugh. We will miss his candid joviality, his friendship, his guidance and the beautiful human being that he was. He left us on the 20th of November 2024 after a brave and stoic battle with cancer. He passed peacefully at home with his beloved family. Rest in power Dave

He was one of the great instructors who would go on to be an influence to me in my own drug policy journey. Over the years, our paths crossed often, at CND or other places where drug policy nerds congregate. Dave was not only brilliant, but had an amazing sense of humour and ease explaining ideas and sometimes arguing his point in a heated debate. Picture is one I took of Dave at UNGASS 2016, having a conversation with Prof. Harry Levine.
