People outside of our community are often not fully aware of the role a loved one plays in the community; this is a chance to let David's family know more about how many lives he touched and how valuable his work was

Im not a kernel guy and honestly never heard of him but could someone maybe explain what are some of the things he's worked on?

I think it would be honouring his memory if others in the free software communities learned about his work.

I doubt as well. If you want to know his work in linux kernel you can search kernel git log as following:
