David was born July 2, 1931 in Olds, Alberta to Vernon L and Grace A (Holmes)Stirton. He attended Hainstock school just west of Olds until at a very young age he took over the family farm.

His pastime would find him enjoying music by either singing or playing his trumpet, which he did a lot of during the years with different bands of some close and dear friends. He loved spending time with family and friends and later in life, found a real passion for travel which took him to Africa, Portugal, England, Australia, New Zealand, Galapagos Island and more. He attended the St. John's Anglican church and enjoyed singing with the choir. He loved the Lord and followed him later in life which gave him great comfort and peace.
Dad loved farming and working with his hands. He had a passionate, giving nature and loved all manner of animals which is why our farm usually had numerous rescued dogs and cats in our care. His love of life and happy go lucky nature attracted new friends from all over the world. He will be dearly missed.
