DCRTV.COM : CAMO DAVE HUGHES DIES
Posted by: Clay ()
Date: December 28, 2021 10:52PM

It is with great sadness that on Monday December 27th Camo Dave Hughes, 62, founder & operator of independent DCRTV.COM passed away of natural causes in his sleep in Morganton, NC. ( Dave was fully Pfizer vaccinated and boosted )

For over 24 years, and up until his passing, Dave & DCRTV had been covering DC and Baltimore area media news, gossip and commentary.

Aside from the successful DCRTV website, Dave also operated the equally popular Camo Dave YouTube Channel with over 12,500 subscribers.

As condolences from around the world pour in, please take a moment and offer up your prayers for Dave, his family and fans.

As a FOOTnote, Dave was 5'7 and wore a size 13 shoe. Don Geronimo, not so much. #RIPCamoDave

GoFundMe FRAUD ALERT!

We see someone set up a $7,500 Go Fund Me for Dave yesterday, going by the name of Patricia Hughes. That is Dave's sisters name but we just talked with her. SHE DID NOT SET UP THIS PAGE.

DO NOT DONATE!

Hint Dave was fully Pfizer vaccinated and boosted or flu booster’ed ) Dave had passed his fathered warily demise date . Any other Heath problems he may or may not of had were activated and opens the door to what happened . Many warned him but he felt better safe then sorry . People even more healthy then he appears have been dropping g like flys all over including my area but if sorrow of his fans blankets the obvious truths we have been warned by the FDA and non paid Dr scientis researchers nurses n family members continued to go ignored this and the future lies will go on

In unrelated news, a Gaithersburg man in his sixties who goes by the name "Gus," was spotted at a Germantown Target crying like a little girl and begging Target Patrons if they wanted to hear what is going on with the "Mike O'Meara Show" podcast.

And Dateline Waldorf, MD. A grandmother now is searching where to post love letters to Chris Plante.

It appears the critical post on Erin Como will be the last thing published on DCRTV.

CLASSY MOVE FROM THE MIKE O'MEARA SHOW

On Episode 2807 ( Oscar The Grump / Jan 3rd ) at the 20.53 minute mark, Mike, Oscar & Robb paid a classy 3 MINUTE tribute to Dave; above all else, understanding that Dave loved radio and that was always the genesis behind DCRTV. Good and bad mailbag comments aside.

On the other hand, bitter, mean and vindictive Don Geronimo who HATED Dave, refused to acknowledge his death on BIG100

R.I.P. DAVE

Excellent piece by WTOP & Neal Augenstein on the Dave Hughes death - including an interview with Jim Farley VP of Programming in 97' when DCRTV launched.

CHECK IT OUT!

TITLED. DCRTV Dave Hughes dies at 63; Founded popular radio and tv blog

A nice piece from WTOP's Neil Augenstein. Neil's a good guy for offering up some
kind words.

At the end of any day, Dave Hughes/DCRTV provided local radio/TV news that was no longer covered by any other media outlet in the local DC/Baltimore metro area.

ANYONE employed in local radio/TV will soon realize the loss of Dave's DCRTV.COM website.

R.I.P Dave.

-Loved him enough to pull their three figure yearly ad when Mike had Carla panties up his ass about negative comments.

-Just like the Fan Club used to do here with huge picture posts.

-Mike new motto: " Judge not, lest ye be judged" is as false as his weight gain, Oscars MBA, and Robb's name.

-Some needs to start a new DCRTV page or a I listened to TMOS today page. Do it for Gus.

Dave's sister is coming to Morganton this weekend - weather permitting - to arrange that Dave is returned back to VA where he was born and now in death, will be his final resting place.

"Clay must be the boyfriend Dave left behind." Incorrect. Dave's friend gong back to what, 1997, is named Greg. Continued thoughts & prayers to him.

So, if Don Geronimo is hiding behind a fake "real AHHH" user name on this site, then his latest comment is blatant homophobic and DC gay rights groups and everyone, should March on Big100 and demand management immediately FIRE Don Geronimo. R.I.P DAVE HUGHES

GOD DAMN SHAME!

Right after Dave's passing, loyal follower{s} of DCRTV offered to cover ALL funeral costs - reached out to Dave's family and no response to this day.(Dave's estate also has enough funds to cover 'end of life' expenses)

Dave's niece & nephew from Manassas then launch a GoFundMe page to raise $5,000 for 'Funeral and Medical Expenses (Dave had full medical coverage)

They raise the $5,000 and as of this post, have over $5500 in donations and because of greed, are still accepting donations. Two weeks since Dave's passing, no funeral updates either.

What's next America? A BOB SAGET GoFundMe page? A BETTY WHITE GoFundMe page? A DON GERONIMO GoFundMe page? (too soon)

Oh, the family is still shilling for GoFundMe $$ long after reaching their goal, but at least they posted this update today

"Dave will be buried in Cold Springs Presbyterian Cemetery in Cape May, New Jersey. We do not have a firm date yet, but we will let you know when it is. Everyone is welcome to attend, and we will provide an update as soon as possible."

A cemetery with the first name "COLD" Dave's going to be cold for - eternity.

URGENT UPDATE: DCRTV.COM : CAMO DAVE HUGHES DIES
Posted by: Clay ()
Date: January 18, 2022 02:14PM

UPDATE; DON'T DONATE TO THE CAMO DAVE HUGHES GOFUNDME PAGE FUNDRAISER!!!!!

GREED IN DEATH IS ESPECIALLY EVIL.

1. All funeral expenses were offered by DCRTV listeners, and rejected by Dave's family.

2. Dave's niece, nephew and twice married and divorced VA sister saw an opportunity to monetize Dave's death and launch an unnecessary GoFundMe fundraiser. WE encouraged them to donate that $$ to charity. They refused!

3. Economically and life challenged, the three have met their fundraising goal of $5,000

4. Now, taking advantage of Dave's global popularity, they're trying to raise $10,000.

5. Dave passed away on Monday December 27th and has yet to be buried, cremated or provided a formal Memorial service.

6. In respectfully honoring Dave, JOIN US in making a donation to Dave's favorite local, independent music store Green Eggs and Jam. c/o Stacey. 108 N. Sterling Street. Morganton, NC 28655

7. DON'T SEND $$$ TO DAVE'S SORRY-ASS FAMILY!
