Real Music for David Spargur


Friends, many of you know that David passed away last night. He wanted you all to know how touched and grateful he was to all of you for every bit of support.

Many of you also know that David’s wife, Maria del Pilar, had to give up her job in order to be with David 24/7 in his final months. That has meant extreme financial hardship for the family.

The memorial service will probably be a small family gathering—David considered this event the “real” service. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation right here.

David loved all of you, and we are so glad that you have been a part of his life. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. And please share your stories here!!


The original campaign is here:

From Kankakee to Malibu, many of you know David Spargur as a friend to the indie music movement.  Join us—either in person or across the internet—in showing David our love and support by helping with his medical expenses.

On Saturday, May 2, David’s family and friends will host a live music benefit and open mic event, “Real Music for David Spargur,” at On the Rox in Kankakee. Everyone is welcome to attend, and all musicians are welcome to perform during the open mic sessions. The event will feature more than 16 local bands, including 5000 South,  Animal Honestly, Beeso & Friends, J.D. and the Phuzz, Citizens Arrest, and many more.

The cover donation is $10. We hope you’ll join us for a drink, a bite, and great local sounds. But even if you can’t, you can donate right here.

EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS! Please give as much as you can, even if it’s just $10. And please do leave a message with your donation, telling David how he’s touched your life as he’s touched the lives of so many aspiring musicians. 

On behalf of David and his family, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
