Dave Steele Obituary
For 36 years, Dave stood behind the counter of a little tackle shop in North Vancouver, helping anglers from all walks of life. We know how many hearts Dave touched, how many angling passions he fostered, and how many laughs he shared. After years within the fishing community, he watched friendships flourish, kids grow up, those kids have kids, and new anglers become true adventurists. He inspired a generation to speak out, fight for change, and go knock on your local MP's door. From politics to hockey and from raising kids to the appropriate steelheader's breakfast, there was never an opinion left unsaid; a true man of passion, integrity, and kindness. Dave was a friend, a fishing partner, a husband, and a father that will be greatly missed by all those who crossed his path.
The Steele family invites you to join them to celebrate Dave's beautiful life through an afternoon of sharing stories, memories, and all things Dave. All are welcome, as we know he impacted so many through his life journey. Please come dressed casually and comfortably.
Sunday, April 10th at 1:00 pm at the Capilano Rugby Clubhouse (1910 Glenaire Dr., North Vancouver)

Dave will always be remembered fondly as the one who inspired our love of fly fishing. Dave would welcome us to the shop by name without fail & with a such a friendly smile. We will miss him and the stories he would share. Much love to Heather and family

Dave was always there...He embodied the thrill and passion that angling brought to all of us. He embraced and mentored my sons in the art and always made time to hear all their fishing tales. My eldest son Mike is now 36 and welcomed his new son in the world today.. Fish or cut bait? Of course he will Fish On.
We will never forget all the good memories of Dave and his fine family.
We send our Love.
