David Gaffney Obituary

GAFFNEY, David Brian It is with broken hearts that the family of David Brian Gaffney announces his passing. David was born in Regina, SK on April 24, 1972 and passed away in Victoria, BC on March 4, 2017 at the age of 44 years. He was predeceased by his grandparents and his sister, Erin Spanier. David's greatest joy came from spending time with his two sons, Luca and Dante. His life will be forever celebrated by his parents, Brian and Beth Gaffney of Regina, his sister Tricia (Jason Scott) and their children Hannah and Carter, his brother-in-law Ryan Spanier (Erin Latoski) and their children Liam, Ethan, and Cassidy, and David's love, Meghan Peebles, her children Callie and Gabe and the rest of her family. He will also be missed by Luca and Dante's mother Teresa Ciccone and the entire Ciccone family. David leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a long list of friends who will miss him dearly. Our David was one of a kind! He was quick-witted, talented, and quirky. The stranger something was, the more he seemed to enjoy it! One of his very favourite things to do was take Luca and Dante on the hunt for hidden gems in the local comic book and toy stores. He was also extremely loyal and happy to help those who needed it. This was never more evident than the two times he donated bone marrow and stem cells to his sister, Erin. Since his passing, we have heard many wonderful stories from his various circles of friends. These stories paint a picture of a man who was more talented than he ever knew and was loved by so many. We will honour his life through the stories and memories we will continue to share with his sons. His boys will always know how special he was and how much their Dad loved them. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Patrick's Parish in Victoria, BC on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 12:00 pm. "If love could have saved him, he would have lived forever." Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallgardens.com.

My heart goes out to your entire family. I pray that in time, peace will begin to soothe your hearts. For Luca and Dante, remember that you are half your father and that he is forever with you in body, mind and spirit. Much love to everyone.

My name is Donna and I spin at the YMCA at noon weekdays. I didn't know David well, as he often came into the class right at the start and left as soon as the class was over. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to converse much, but our noon spin class feels like a family and we are feeling a huge loss. He will be truly missed.

Our hearts break for Luca, Dante, David's family...and his loving partner Meghan. David became my lunch time running partner in 2007 when he joined the Ministry. Our lunches were full of speed drills and heart-to-hearts. David will never be forgotten and I am thankful to have known him. Rest in peace David -- we envision you with silver bulldog clipped angel wings!

To the Gaffney family

Our hearts ache. The glass wheat Dave gave us after Scott died sits in our kitchen. We will forever remember how kind and compassionate Dave was after Chad died. Marla remembers fondly his support. Loosing two children is more than any parent should endure. We walk with you in sadness and wonder what the final chapter could have been. The love for his sons and those left behind will endure. Ron and Judith
