David died peacefully with his family by his side on December 15, 2016 in Victoria, BC. Born on August 21, 1928 in Shanghai, China, David was predeceased by his wife of 46 years, Maureen, in 2008. He is survived by his partner, Marina Guest; his children Mary (Jim) Borrowman, Colin (Kim), Keith (Candice); grandchildren Paul, Sean, Trevor, Stacey, Jordan and Scott; and great-grandchildren Raine, Hannah, Abigail, Adam, Jonathan, Olivia and Leah-Rose.
David was a proud Veteran of the Canadian Navy and served his country for 20 years including his time of duty in the Korean War. He was accomplished at anything he put his mind to, from driving a cab or bus to owning a hobby shop and restaurant to building trailers to keep him busy. He was most proud of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all they have accomplished.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC on Tuesday, January 3, 2017 at 10:00am with David Perry officiating.
The family wishes to thank the Drs. and nurses who took such good care of David.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in David’s name to either the Korean Veterans Association – Esquimalt or The Chiefs and Petty officers Association – Esquimalt.

Hello there,
I am wondering if this is the same David Campbell attended/graduated from Brentwood College School in 1946? If so, could you please let me know? I work in the alumni office at the school and manage our alumni database/archives. My deepest and belated condolences to the family.
Many thanks,
Amy
