Today is an extremely tough day for fans and friends of Dave Szulborski. Dave has passed away after battling leukemia for a long time, and he is remembered by his wife Marianne, his son Tyler, and so many people across the world. Beyond his reputation as a consummate professional and an innovative, creative designer and producer of alternate reality games, Dave was an inspiration and friend to many in the ARG community.
Dee Cook broke the news on the Unfiction forums earlier today, and we’d like to relay the following information from her post:
If you are interested in attending the funeral services, here’s the information:
Sunday night, visitation at Long Funeral Home, 500 Linden Street, Bethlehem, PA from 6-8 PM.
Monday morning, memorial service at St. John’s Windish Lutheran Church, 617 East Fourth Street, Bethlehem, PA at 11 AM.If you would like to send along your respects:
It was Dave’s wish that in lieu of flowers, people contribute towards his son’s education. You can do so by sending a check to the following:
Long Funeral Home
500 Linden Street
Bethlehem, PA 18018Make the check payable to Long Funeral Home, and put “Tyler Szulborski Education Fund” in the memo.
Also, there is a memorial page posted at the funeral home site where you can write in the guest book, and there will be an obituary posted on The Morning Call tomorrow.
As most of us are just now learning about the news, it’s tough to put into words the impact Dave has had on the staff here at ARGNet. From the bottom of my heart, I can say that the memories I have of Dave will stay with me forever, and the body of work he has completed will always be an important part of the history of gaming. Godspeed, friend.

Thank you for everything, Dave.
You are always in our hearts, in our mind, in our realities.
My deep sympathies to Daves family.
This is terrible news. Dave was a smart and kind person who was very helpful to me professionally…when he had absolutely no requirement to do so. Our world needs more people like him, not fewer.
