Before his cancer diagnosis in 2023, Dave lived an active, happy, and healthy life filled with many adventures, passions, and hobbies. Dave was an avid hunter, gardener, fisherman, and outdoor enthusiast. He was also passionate about guitars, motorcycles, and cooking. He loved to visit the Rocky Mountains and Vancouver Island, where he lived for over a decade while his daughter was young.
As per Dave’s requests, his remains have been cremated and his ashes will be scattered in the Rocky Mountains near Miette Hot Springs, his “favourite place in the world”. Also in respecting his wishes, there will be no memorial service.
Dave will be fishing in heaven and can’t wait to see you all there!
