My deepest sympathy to you Sue and your family the passing of Dave. The profound loss and emptiness in your hearts is shared by all who knew him. He was a welcoming soul and his ability to create laughter made it a joy to be with him.

I will forever appreciate the support and friendship he gave to Barry. Theirs was a connection of Fort Garry boys forged later in life but it was one that was very important to Barry. He always got a chuckle from Dave's views at morning coffee and respected when Grandpa Dave was needed for his cherished grandkids and couldn't make it to solve world issues.

I wish all of you peace, love and comfort at this difficult time and to also hold all your wonderful memories of him close to your hearts.

So very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. our sincere condolences to you and the girls.

Bob and Marnie

So very sad to hear of Dave's passing. Sue - my sincerest condolences to you and the family for your devastating loss.

Dave was one of those people that if you're lucky enough... you get to meet and know in life. With his larger than life personality... always laughing and joking... you couldn't help but laugh along with him. Knowing him from childhood days growing up in Fort Garry, playing shinny at Westridge CC and then later on playing old timers with him... as well as at times spent at the lake.... has accumulated a lot of great memories!! Dave was one of the good ones and he'll be sorely missed by all.

Gone far too early in life .... rest in my friend!!

Dear Sue and family ~

We are deeply sorry for your immense loss. Dave was one of the first to welcome us on our first visit to Puerto Aventuras and instantly became a good friend. We will always cherish the friendship and happy memories that we made.

My condolences to you, Susan, and your family.

Its a very sad day to hear that a son, husband, a father, a grandpa, and a great friend to many...has suddenly passed. I met Sue and Dave in Puerta Adventuras a few years back and have kept in touch through the years. Dave had such a big heart and was always on the beach, hitting the patios to enjoy music and laughter with many friends. His generosity with driving the ladies to buy handmade glassware...I will cherish them even more now! Farewell to an amazing and well loved person!

Sue, our condolences to you and your family for the loss of Dave.

It is always a shock when someone so young is taken from us so early. We hope your memories of him will provide you all with comfort.

Dear Susan and Family- It is with shock and disbelief that we extend our sincere condolences to all of you. Dave was a larger than life figure, who was a good friend for a very long time. He had an ability to find humour where no one else could. Under his sometimes gruff persona, really was a person with a heart of gold. He always was willing to lend a hand. We were fortunate enough to have had many great times with you , and it is those memories we will remember forever. Gone way to soon. RIP our friend

We have and will cherish so many memories with Susan and Dave,

Dave was always there to lend a hand if needed, loved construction projects and working around the cottage.

Dave befriended us on the beach in Mexico and he and Dave hit it off and became close friends. We will cherish our memories of spending time together in Mexico and visiting at your cottage this past summer.

Dave was an exceptional person and we will miss him. Love you buddy...wish you were here.

Dear Susan and family I am so very sorry for your loss. Dave had such a big personality he made me feel so welcome into your group of friends when I first moved to Winnipeg. Never a loss for words and such a laugh and smile. Well Mr Winnipeg Ms Marquette will miss you until we meet again!

I was shocked and saddened to here the passing of Dave. My condolences go out to Sue and the boys. Dave and I spent countless hours at Westrige Community Club growing up and played hockey with him for 25 years. For our age group, Dave was one of the best goalies in the province,bar none. He would always greet me with a joke and a smile and was a blast to be around. I miss the Saturday night house parties where the "Happy Gang" would get together and watch Hockey Night In Canada and then tune in to watch Dave and Doug Mckenzie. Peace be with you and you will be remembered by many.

Dear Sue and family. We were so saddened to hear this devasting news. May your precious memories bring you comfort.during this very difficult time. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

May your wonderful memories help you through this extremely difficult time. 🌹

Sue:

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. May all your cherished memories of Dave provide some comfort in these difficult times. If thoughts could embrace you, ours would.

Sue, my condolances to you and your family on the loss of Dave. May his memory live in your heart forever.

As Dave's aunt, I met him when he was only a few days old. He was an awesome little kid. At the tender age of 5 he demonstrated his generosity and love of fine things-opening every bag of candy on the bottom shelf at Safeway to share with his friend Mary. It was my privilege to to watch Dave grow and mature into a fine man- fall in love and marry Susan- raise two children and lavish his love on his adored granddaughters . He lived for family and friends.

Dave lived life large! The world will be a

quiet place without his laughter. He will be greatly missed.

We are so shocked and saddened by Dave's loss, Susan I can't image how you are doing, but there is an army of folks that will be with you and your family always. The memories I have going back 45 years of all the fun , laughs, marriages will live on, even the sword fish!!! sending love forever ❤️

I'm pretty sure Dave will be having a blast, getting to know his dad, and oh boy don't get me started on the music that will be playing, the jokes being told, sport, bikes' and cars' stories and the did you dos, or I saw you. Have a great time getting to know all those that got there before you, Dave, Give gramma and grandpa a hug for me Dave, and tell my Deano I'm sorry

We had the pleasure of being neighbours with Dave, Susan, Kyle and Kelli when we built in 2004. It was a very sad day for us when you sold your house on Setterington Bay. We will never forgot all the great memories and laughs we had over all those years. From the street parties, to all the chats on the driveways, the beers you and Glenn shared and the hospitality you showed us when we visited you and Susan at your beautiful cabin at Rush Bay. Dave, you were the best neighbour always willing to help out and always with a smile and an infectious laugh. I personally will always remember you driving off on your motorcycle down the street in all your glory. Keep riding Dave - you will always be in our hearts. And to Susan, Kyle, Kelli and family - we are so very sorry for your loss. Love the Andersens

There are no words to express how saddened we are to hear of Dave's passing. We first met Dave in Puerto Aventuras and quickly realized he was a great guy. Many highlights over these years. Nauti Burro happy hours, beach days, frolicking and lots of banter. I am sure the Jets would have won the cup by now if only they would have consulted us for advice! We looked forward to seeing Dave each year. He will be forever missed. Condolences to Sue and family. Sincerely, Jeff and Kathy

Sincerest condolences to Sue and family. So glad for the times we got to spend with Dave. His laughter was infectious. You will be missed. Treasure all your wonderful memories of Dave.

Generous and outgoing, Dave and Susan welcomed friends to their homes in Winnipeg and Rush Bay and for visits in Mexico. We were recipients of his time and skills with our own cottage projects. Dave always had the idea and tools to get the job done, never hesitating when asked a question, often taking on the task himself. Followed, of course, by an adult frosty beverage. His good natured teasing and laughter which often brought tears to his eyes will be missed more than words can express. Sending our love and condolences to the Wiklund and Abbott families.

It’s very hard to put into words what a friend Dave was to me. We always helped each other out at the lake, laughing our way through whatever job we were tackling. You entertained us with your hilarious sense of humour but you also had a genuine caring side that we cherish. Susan, Kelli, Curt, Juni, Arla, Kyle and Kendra, we know how proud he was of you all. What a huge void that now exists. Rush Bay will never be the same without our good friend Dave.

Miss you buddy,

Love from Grant and Krista Arklie

Susan...I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband...so hard to lose a partner and best friend.

Sincere condolences to you and your family.

Deepest condolences Sue and family. Our hearts are broken over the loss of Dave. Meeting on the beach in Puerto Aventuras we became instant friends. Rivalries between the Blue Bombers and the Roughriders ,Jets and Oilers and the buckets won and lost all settled once back in PA. Always the organizer of happy hours and get togethers and trips to other beaches. Superbowl parties always the ultimate host. "Frolicking " will never be the same. Darkest tan on the beach. Watching relationships with daughter and granddaughters was special. They adored him. Loved our visit to your cabin. Dave will be deeply missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely Mark and Jacky Casey.

Cant begin to put in words the loss of a life long friend and a huge part of our family. Dave's smile and wit will be with us always. Our deepest sympathies to Susan, Kyle, Kendra, Kelli, Curt and his cherished granddaughters Juni and Arla and his sister Laurie. Hope you can take comfort in all your wonderful memories as our entire family will. Love you all

The legacy of friendship is not the tears shed when they're gone, but the smiles shared when they were here. Remembering the many years of friendship with Dave. His big laugh and quick wit. Our heartfelt condolences Susan, Kelli and Curtis, Kyle and Kendra, cherished Granddaughters Juni and Arla, Laurie and extended family. Brenda and Cal Osborne and family

We will sure miss our buddy, Dabid (as we would call him)! From our many trips with Sue and Dave to Vegas, Phoenix and Minneapolis (some to see the Wpg Jets play), our yearly invite to their cottage, our annual winter trips to Puerto Aventuras for many years, and most recently our trip of a lifetime all through Europe. Dave was a good friend, always laughing, and he will be missed. ❤️

How can anyone describe Dave, there are words that cant do justice it's the times spent getting to know a person and getting to know Dave was time well spent. I'll always see his smile and hear his laugh, he always had a good joke and could make the day a little better. He loved his family and cherished each moment with them. I'm so glad to have made the trip to the lake house this last September and enjoyed our time together a time now that I'll cherish forever.

Meeting Dave and Susan in Mexico years ago made my life better. Always looked forward to seeing them each year. I will remember him for being happy and funny. Loved a good joke. I will miss him on the beach with his float and a beer in his hand. He could get a great tan each year. Visited them at the cabin this year and will always be thankful we did. He loved his family and was so proud of his kids. he dearly loved his granddaughters. The world is a better place with friends like Dave. Miss you so much my friend. Will miss the bear hugs and laughs. Mexico won't be the same without you.

We sure miss you dad 💛. Wish you were here.
