Dave MacDonald

DAVID CHARLES MACDONALD
October 31, 1956 – October 28, 2025
David Charles MacDonald, age 68, died unexpectedly at home on October 28th after complications from a radioactive spider bite that led to years of crime-fighting and a long battle with a nefarious criminal named heart disease. A known plague on our society for far too long! One he survived for many years (until now anyway). Civilians will recognize him best as Spider-Man and thank him for his many years of service protecting our city.
His family and friends knew him only as “Dave”, gifted artist, writer, actor, and a caring mental health professional, PNA, for many years at St Boniface Hospital McEwan Building. He appeared in movies and assisted well-known writers and directors with his creative talents.
A good man with a searing wit, his passions included literature, filmmaking, comic book art, and distance running. He is an alumnus of the University of Manitoba.
Since his father George's death in 2019, he has been a perfect son to and is survived by his mother, Phyllis; his sister, Cynthia (Robert Singer); relatives in Winnipeg; Vancouver; Windsor; and in the U.K. There are too many friends to name, but all were important to him, as was his favorite Rotterman, Zeus.
Join us for a Celebration of Life at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 6th, at 603 Wellington Crescent and Academy Road. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Canadian Heart Failure Society so we can avenge this untimely death.
“Your amusing texts will be missed
by all lucky enough to
have received them”.
Rest in Peace, my brother.

You are my dearest friend and coworker for the last 14 years. I miss you every single day. I reach out to text you something funny or share a meme, and realize I cannot. You were my partner in crime and the brother I got to choose you helped me and my mom when my dad was ill. You were my rock when my dad passed. You loved running with Zeus as much as Zeus loved running with you. I wasn't ready to say goodbye, and it has taken me this long to write this. I miss you more than words can say. Until we meet again, rest easy my brother.

My nephew and I would text late at night talking about pop music, corrupt politics and the topic of the day. I admired his sharp wit and he always cut to the chase.The MacDonalds are a wonderful family who actually care.,

I had the pleasure of working with Dave during night shifts. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart. He was full of life and had a real vibrant personality that made him unforgettable. He made the little moments at work more enjoyable. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to his family.
