David McCarthy Obituary
David William McCarthy, age 80 years old, a resident of Victoria, BC, passed away peacefully Friday, June 5th at the Victoria General Hospital after a brave battle with cancer. David was born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago where he met and married his first wife, Patricia. Together they immigrated to Canada in 1967 and soon after started their family. David worked for Transport Canada for several years then spent the remainder of his 40-year career in the airline industry as a Customer Service Manager with Pacific Western Airlines (Kimberley and Campbell River, BC) then a Customer Service Trainer for Bearskin Airlines (Thunder Bay, ON). David was a member of the Tsusquana Singers in Port Hardy, BC; an original member of the Kimberley Bavarian Society Chamber of Commerce, the Lost Dawg Singers and volunteer fireman in Kimberley, BC. He was also a member of St. Agnes Roman Catholic Church in Thunder Bay, ON. David was blessed to have two great loves in his lifetime. Within a few years of losing Patricia to cancer, he met and married Patty Kinch with whom he shared a love of music. They were the light of each others lives for 18 years and brought out the best in each other in every way. David's passions were his family, close friends, music and fishing. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Patty (Victoria, BC), his son Andrew and partner Sherry (Fort McMurray), daughter Kathy and partner Bridget (Victoria BC), stepsons Scott (Thunder Bay, ON) and Jeff (Victoria, BC), daughter-in-law Azure and grandsons Cole and Cooper (Victoria, BC); as well as many important extended family and dear friends who knew and loved him. He is predeceased by his first wife Patricia, parents Lillian and Felix, brother Peter, and stepson Shawn.

Will always remember the special meal your mom cooked for us so we could try your traditional food from Trinidad. They were both wonderful people. Please give our condolences to all the family.

The loss of Dave is felt by many. May the memories of his wonderful personality and many contributions be celebrated by all. My husband and I have fond memories of Dave at the Thunder Bay airport. I worked for transport Canadas at the time Dave worked for Bearskin Airlines. He always had a smile on his face and he brought a smile to mine. We enjoyed playing baseball on the airport field with Dave and enjoyed social gatherings at the Thunder Bay flying club. May we all keep Daves memory close to our hearts. Our prayers for strength to all family and loved ones to get you through your loss.
