R.I.P. David Leslie Joachim

15.06.1958 – 17.09.2020

Brother in Blue NSWPOL. 1978 – 1988

QLD Police. 1997 – 2013

On Thursday 24th September we said our farewell to the love of my life, my husband David – Dave, Jocho, loving father to Lauren and Yvette, with our immediate family and friends.

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions we could only have 50 people attend David’s service.

Our family and I would like to thank you all for the most beautiful and respectful messages we have received. We are overwhelmed by the love and support hundreds of friends and work colleagues have shown David and our family.

David had been very ill for many years. The early signs that David was unwell commenced in 2012 and in August 2015, David was diagnosed with Early Onset Frontal Temporal Dementia.

David’s health deteriorated where he was losing his motor skills, unable to see properly and kept having numerous falls.

Among many other symptoms, his ability to speak, eat, swallow and to walk deteriorated.

David had 167 consultations and follow up consultations over a 3 year period.

I took him to many different medical specialists and he also attended the Frontier Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney in order to properly diagnose him.

David had the most tenacious neurologist on the Gold Coast, Dr Arman Sabet who completed his studies in the U.S.

Dr Sabet kept stating David has a more specific disease because David was still very cognitive and still had an amazing long term memory which he did up until he passed. He did have difficulty with his short term memory. He knew what he wanted to say but his brain wouldn’t allow his thoughts to be transmitted through his speech.

After many tests and bloods sent overseas by Dr Sabet, David was fully diagnosed with PSP, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy which is somewhat similar to MND Motor Neuron Disease. PSP is also like a Parkinsonian disease.

David suffered a horrible and cruel 5 years and on the 17th September, David passed into God’s eternal care. No more torment. No more pain.

I know that you will all miss David as much as we miss him. We all have wonderful and funny stories to tell but that would take forever and I’m sure you will all share those stories and memories.

You all know David was a good, loyal, caring man, always had everyone’s back and you all hold him dearly to your hearts. Our lives will never be the same again.

There are too many people for our family to thank individually. We thank you all very much.

The last thing I would like to say is: If anyone becomes ill from Dementia, PSP, MND, Cancer or whatever terminal disease, please don’t be frightened to keep in contact or visit that person as that person is still the same person you all knew and loved.

That person also remembers you all and also loves you.

Keep safe and healthy our very dear friends, previous work colleagues and families.

Much love.

Helen xxoo
