DANIEL CHARLES GILBERT Daniel (Dan) Charles Gilbert passed away suddenly but peacefully in the presence of his family on Sunday, November 27th, 2022, at the age of 65. Born December 29th, 1956, in Bath, New Brunswick, Dan hailed from a large loving family. He was born to Margaret (Peg) and Joseph (Joe) Gilbert, and regularly shared fond memories of the great privilege of growing up in the community of Burton, New Brunswick. Dan's lengthy career in the consumer products industry provided him with many opportunities to travel throughout the world, and he eventually settled in the Greater Toronto Area. His career also led him to his great love, Deborah (Deb). Dan and Deb spent 20 wonderful years making homes first in Burlington, Ontario, and then building their dream home on the lake in Verona, Ontario. They made wonderful memories at the lake with their beloved dogs, Grace and Riley. Dan and Deb also loved hosting at their home and always made visitors feel welcomed, so much so that it made it hard to leave. Dan will be remembered for his love of family gatherings, his sense of humour, and passion for the family football pool. Dan is predeceased by his parents, and will be greatly missed by siblings, Joanne (Richard) Foster, Terry (Cathy) Gilbert, Mary Ellen (Galane) Barker, Debbie (Peter) Tulk; and many loving nieces and nephews. Dan leaves behind his daughter, Lana. He will also be forever remembered by his inherited family, including Heather (Scott) Morrison, Lindsey Kerr (Mike), Adam Dybvig-Kerr, Daniel (Crystal) Kerr and Michael Kerr (Jess). He was a loving 'Grandpa Dan' to Aiden, Paisley, Lauren, William, Connor, Alice and Ivy. Family and friends are invited to the James Reid Funeral Home, 1900 John Counter Boulevard, Kingston, Ontario on Saturday, December 3rd. Visitation will be at 1:00 p.m. with a funeral service at 2:00 p.m. and a reception to follow. A Catholic service and burial will take place in Oromocto, New Brunswick at a later date. Acknowledgements must be made to the staff at Kingston General Hospital for their compassionate care and attention during Dan's final weeks. James Reid LOGO
