In an Instagram post from September, he shared a video recorded from his helmet while flying in a landing direction while parachuting.

He explained in his explanation that he was leaning on cute to give himself more speed for added excitement, rather than slowing his descent.

When he wasn’t animated, he also documented his interest in creating amazingly detailed miniature treehouses in young bonsai trees.

Wendy Molyneux, a writer for Bob’s Burgers, expressed her grief over Crick’s death in a tweet Thursday.

She wrote, “If you love Bob’s Burger, you love Dave Crick.” He was a great artist, fun, interesting, fun and one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I often thought Dave really knows how to live, and I hope he lives more. Rest in peace, my friend.

Bob’s Burgers supervising manager Bernard Deriman also threw his weight on his fallen friend.

We lost a great artist and a great friend on Bobs today – our lead character designer Dave Creek. Here is one of his many designs, Lady Tinsel, and one of his amazing treehouses.

Dereiman included a schematic diagram of a creek, along with a close-up of the twisted tree house.
