Dear Christine, Jacob, Liah, Aaron, close and extended family,
We were so saddened to learn of Dave's recent passing and want to send our heartfelt condolences to you all. He was a remarkable guy, and has left a wonderful legacy, not just with you, his loved ones, but also the sporting community. We are sorry that we weren't in town for the funeral, but please know you're in our thoughts and prayers.
Very saddened to hear of Dave's untimely passing. He always seemed to be giving of himself to the broader community in many ways - quietly helping in the background with Terry Fox Run, Winter Olympic Torch Relay, and many others - but his genuine hearty resounding laughter equalled no other. He was so humbled, yet proud & privileged to have been given an Eagle Feather in honour of his trust & strong Indigenous relationships he forged. He was a strong contributing voice in the MNRF NER Planning U
