Dave passed away peacefully in the morning of April 19, 2023. He was born on May 13, 1948 in Edmonton, Alberta. Dave is survived by his wife, Madeline; his children Chris (Lisa), Nicky (Dave) and Jill (Patrick); grandchildren Mariah, Annika, Gabrielle, Isabel, Evan and Madeleine; and brother Don (Helen).
Dave was gentle, witty and kind. Always active, he was an accomplished tennis, golf and cycling enthusiast. As an exceptional physician and hospital administrator, Dave impacted the lives of many. He lived and worked in Calgary, Victoria, Riyadh and Jeddah.
Dave and Madeline got married in 1974. Their love of travel and adventure took them all over the world. Having three children didn’t slow them down. The family fondly remembers time spent together in Kauai, Egypt, Palm Springs and various boating escapades through the Gulf Islands.
