McMORRAN, David 1936 - 2022 David was the youngest of the McMorran brothers of Cordova Bay, predeceased by Bruce, Eric and Richard. He was a man who found most joy in nature and the simple things of life. He loved the gathering, sawing and splitting of firewood and his woodpiles were studies in symmetry. Some of his happiest moments were spent on the West Coast exploring the many trails and secluded beaches, packing only what he could carry in his Trapper Nelson back pack. He passed his love of the coast on to the children of his blended family and treks down the trail to Radar Beach have been taken in memory of times past. David was an excellent father, loved by his children and his soul-mate, Irene, who learned to be skeptical of his memory of how far, how steep, or how dangerous the trail was. He "kept on truckin". Culturally he was a man of eclectic tastes. Beethoven, The Stones, Choral music and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young all gave him pleasure. We loved him and we miss him and we honor his memory. His spirit was strong and will stay with all of us: Irene, Shane (Chris), Bruce, Anthony (Katie), Andrew, Wendy and his 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Many thanks to Dr. Woodley and the nurses and staff at Berwick Royal Oak, who took such good care of him. A private family celebration of David's life has taken place.
