Why not just say "dead guy"?

He went by Dave Wallace, this is noted in plenty of places. "David Foster Wallace" was a publishing decision. There are way too many "Wallace"s for him to be able to claim the name yet. There are multiple authors with the name David Wallace.

also, dude, Dallas Fort Worth is the preferred nomenclature

The preferred nomenclature is David Faggot Walrus.

Jerry: David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, Richard Speck...
Alice: What about them?
Jerry: Serial killers. Serial killers only have two names. You ever notice that? But lone gunmen assassins, they always have three names. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman...
Alice: John Hinckley. He shot Reagan. He only has two names.
Jerry: Yeah, but he only just shot Reagan. Reagan didn't die. If Reagan had died, I'm pretty sure we probably would all know what John Hinckley's middle name was.
