| About | Let it be known… On March 8, 2004 artist and AIDS activist David Pasquarelli left this earth for his next incarnation. Declared HIV positive on April 1, 1995, he committed his life to solving the mystery behind a compromised immune system. Outspoken and often outrageous, David cast a skeptical eye on every facet of the AIDS industry. David was born on December 10, 1967 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He played trumpet in elementary and junior high school, and graduated from Montour High School in 1985. David earned a B.A. in Art from Penn State in 1990, where he worked as a Resident Assistant and began his involvement in gay rights activism. After graduation, he accepted a Resident Counselor position at St. Leo College in Florida, where he continued his activism, eventually helping to create ACTUP Tampa Bay. David died peacefully with family at his side, and is survived by his dedicated life partner Steve Huggins, his loving sister Andrea, his mother Joanne and father Sam, and his many friends and family at ACTUP San Francisco. A ceremony will be held to celebrate David’s life on March 20 at 4:00pm under the Rotunda at the Palace of Fine Arts. Interment at the San Francisco Columbarium will occur at a later date. Cards and other memoriams can be sent to 1388 Haight St. #218, San Francisco, CA 94117. Contributions in David’s honor can be made to the AIDS Emergency Fund, 965 Mission St., Suite 630, San Francisco, CA 94103.
