Hit-and-run death of rising US horn player

A horn student at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, David Dickerson was hit by a vehicle while riding his bicycle on May 31. Rushed to hospital in a coma, he was showing small signs of recovery but sadly died this weekend.

A GoFundMe appeal has been set up to help his family cover the heavy medical expenses.

David Caines Burnett writes: Dear colleagues and friends, it is with deep remorse that I share the news of David Dickerson’s passing. David was good friend and great guy! I’m so glad we had the opportunity to do so many wonderful performances together. My sincere condolences go out to his family and his countless friends and colleagues. Rest In Paradise, David.
To those that didn’t know, unfortunately, David was riding his bike when he was the victim of a hit and run. David had been in a coma since the accident and we were all hoping that he would have pulled through this terrible accident.
