David Mathers Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our Dad, David John Mathers, at the age of 70. David passed away suddenly on May 20, 2021, while living his best life, having coffee in the morning sunshine, then tinkering in his yard in the afternoon.
David was born in Abbotsford on August 8, 1950. Throughout his early life, David moved around a lot throughout British Columbia and Alberta, making lifelong friends along the way. In 1975, David settled down in Kamloops, BC, finally having found his home.
David was a power line technician for BC Hydro, travelling throughout the province repairing and maintaining high voltage power lines and much more. He spent a lot of time working in the North Valley and in Northern BC.
When David was not working, he was an avid adventurer, and enjoyed camping and fishing and exploring throughout Canada. During his lifetime, David planned many foreign adventures and explored many places in our world and was happiest exploring different cities and villages and going off the beaten path.
David leaves behind his loving family and many friends. David thoroughly loved his grandchildren and shared his life experience and wisdom with them over the years and could not wait to share in their adventures as they got older.
Dad, we hope your next adventure is as amazing
as the ones you had during your lifetime.
The family is planning on having a Celebration of Life in Kamloops and a graveside service at Valleyview Memorial Gardens once restrictions have eased.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please consider making a donation to BC Children's Hospital or the Canadian Cancer Society in David's name.
