The CAB mourns the passing of a longtime friend and contributor David A. Urbach. Known as "Radio Dave," he passed away on October 8, 2025, at the age of 76 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Professionally, David made his mark as a longtime radio executive, earning the nickname "Radio Dave" for his passion and influence in the broadcasting world. His larger-than-life presence, vision, and leadership helped shape the airwaves, and his legacy lives on in the many lives he touched through his work. Beyond his career and service, David was a special friend to many.

A celebration of life will be held in David's honor at a later date, where friends and family will gather to share memories and pay tribute to a life well lived. Please go to Sunset Memorial's website for updates.

In remembrance of Radio Dave, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Cleveland VA Hospital, a cause close to his heart.
