I was very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I'm not sure that Dave really knew it but he was (and continues to be) a mentor to me. He is the most selfless and positive individual I have ever met, which is the type of person I strive to be every day. So in many ways his legacy lives on.... My condolences to the whole family.

Alana,
I’m so so sorry to hear about Dave.
Last time I spoke with him was at Five Counties when I was there for a meeting.
He was the same happy person I always remember. I have a lot of fun memories of us all playing slopitch years ago.
Hugs and prayers to you and the girls.

I was disheartened to learn of Dave’s passing. This is a very sad loss for many people, especially the Adam’s family who, I am sure, will miss him terribly for a long time to come.
Dave was a fine man and a true inspiration to others. I became acquainted with Dave through Special Olympics, where he donated his time and talents on a number of occasions.
Dave was fun, humorous and a person who you could count on. His commitment was his bond and people enjoyed working and collaborating with him. These past few years, Dave showed the rest of us how to live. His courage and fortitude was a lesson in human dignity.
To his family, take heart in the tributes and nice words that you’ll hear over the weeks to come for they are the only way we can show you that we too will miss Dave and that his contribution to Special Olympics and his community was meaningful and heartfelt.
Dave’s passing will leave a void with many people but his legacy will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew and respected him.
Yours respectfully,
Glenn MacDonell

This is truly sad. My first recollection of Dave, was him cradling his tiny infant daughter in the palm of his hand, she was so small. He was smitten and the love he showed for that little baby was heartwarming. I thought to myself, he is going to be a great Dad! Over the years I had the pleasure of working with Dave on a number of events hosted by the City. Reading the tributes just confirms what I knew about Dave - he was always positive, uplifting and very respectful. I am glad I crossed paths with him. Dave's was a life well lived in the service of his family and this community. Alana, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.

Alana and Family, Michael and Cindy, Mrs. and Mr. Adams. We are saddened for your loss. Dave was so sincere, thoughtful to others, and positive, through the many years I have known him. By reading numerous tributes, it is so obvious the impact Dave had on those that knew him. Bless all of you!

I worked with Dave when I was a kid and this news really sucks. He was definitely one of my favorite Five Counties employees. He was such a sweet dude and I hope that he's resting well now.

Dave was definitely a part of our OI family. He supported my son and family in the 10 years we've known him. Being Ambassadors for 5 Counties was a blessing because that made Dave a member of our family. He will be missed.

Alana and girls - I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Dave as a co-worker at Five Counties. Dave was such a GREAT guy. I always enjoyed our chats while we waited at the photocopier at Five Counties. Lots of laughing. He was so immensely proud of your beautiful girls. His love for his family was always obvious, and so touching. And you will all continue to move forward, forever enveloped in his enduring love. I know that Dave was a man who walked the walk. He was a doer. He never sought accolades. His giving spirit was genuine and pure, and obviously boundless. Dave's time on earth was cut short and I'm so sorry for that. His legacy of love however, will live forever in your hearts and souls, and in the hearts of all the families and children that he so beautifully impacted. Dave didn't ever have to seek the spotlight. He was the light. Light shone through him, and I know that it will continue to shine on every single person who had the privilege of knowing him. You all must be so very proud. God bless.

A wonderful person in every way. He was our neighbour for 18 years. The best. His love for Alana and the girls was front and centre all the time. Always a smile and an encouraging word and many a stale joke was told.
Dave, may you rest in eternal peace.
Alana, Amanda, Christina, Alicia, Suzanne and I pray that you will find strength and comfort.
