'So You Think You Can Dance' alum Comfort Fedoke shared a tribute post for the choreographer after his demise.

She wrote, "My heart is heavy... really heavy ...but I'm beyond blessed to have gotten to know the man who was one of the people who first inspired me to dance. His work moved me before I ever met him. @theofficialdavescott."

She further said, "What makes this loss even more profound is that Dave was the one who created the routine Forever--a piece I danced with big bro Stephen (rest in power). That was my bridge to knowing Dave on a personal level & the beginning of a creative relationship I'll always cherish... And now... I find myself singing Forever again, but this time for you, Dave."
