There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe you, David Carr. A brilliant journalist, memoirist, humorist, foodie. Devoted husband, father and friend. My admiration for your work is only rivaled by my gratitude for your fierce friendship. Champion of underdogs and wild ones, an advocate for justice in all forms, an adventurous spirit, the best person you could ever hope to share a meal with.
— Lena Dunham, memorializing David Carr on Instagram.
