David, although I've known about your passing for many years now, I just stumbled upon this beautiful memory board in your honor. I'm not surprised there are recent messages given how incredible a person you were...
Even though it's been many many moons, I still think of you often, especially in this Taylor Swift era and one particular lyric of hers:
"I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
It was enchanting to meet you"

Jusqu'à ce qu'on se rencontre à nouveau,
B

Merry Christmas in heaven David. You always helped to make Christmas special for us. Great food, wonderful gatherings with friends. I remember the one year you made me find my Christmas presents. You had gifted me with a beautiful pair of diamond earrings.. not wrapped in a box and under the tree..no that would be too simple for you. Not in the bottom of a Christmas stocking..but rather way up high as eyes on the a Christmas Angel that say atop the tree. Yob always made things specials and put in so much thought . You are missed but boy, are you remembered!

David, David, David... it's been 11 years going on 12 that you haven't been here and it's been a lifetime since I've seen your face! I remember the summer of grade 8 going into grade 9 meeting you for the first time at Gateway 6. Fate had plans for us to be friends and we had this strange Ying and Yang friendship, that grew into family and although as we got older, moved onto new life challenges I never forgot you! I have so many fond memories of you and your laugh, your protection of me and your guidance right when I needed it. I miss you my friend, until we meet again... we'll always have Richard Marx xoxo

Hey ding dong. It´s not like I don´t always think of you but some nights more than others. I heard a song tonight that we bet on just before you passed. I always think about you when I hear it but tonight was different as someone else wanted to bet me on the lyrics. Idiot. I told them it´s how I easily won 50 bucks from you. Anyway, they lost. Love you sweets. Miss you every day.

My son my son my son, I spent some time reading your legacy this morning. There is a new message from Elizabeth for you birthday. So many responded to a Facebook post and I know so many still and always will miss you. My heart still aches so much thinking of you and not being able to hug you. We can't even get together at yours and your mom's grave because of a global pandemic. I wonder what you would make of it. Love Dad ❤❤❤

Hey David,

I recently watched this documentary of the deaths of Biggie and Tupac and was reminded of all the hip hop you introduced me to over the years. As a child I found hip hop hard to understand at times but as i grew up i could understand the lyrics more and more and appreciate so much why you loved it so much. I wish i could talk to you about it. Such a small thing and a painful reminder of all the many things i cant ask you about or tell you about. You were my closest confidant and friend and I miss you every day David. I hope wherever you are you are happy and listening to to all the great music you shared with me over the years.

Hey David,

I have had a number of small panic attacks lately thinking of you. Some times the pain is so profound it hurts. This time of year I find especially hard. I miss you so dearly and wish you were here to talk to. I love you. Merry Christmas in Heaven.

David...I am speechless. I just found out that you passed more than 5 years ago. All this time thinking of you now and again and wondering what you were up to. What amazing travels, what yummy dishes you were creating, whether you had ever opened that restaurant you dreamed of owning??? You were always so full of life David. I had always hoped our paths would cross again. It breaks my heart to know that you are gone far too soon but I count myself lucky to have basked in your sunshine for the time we had together. Rest in peace David. xo

Some days are still so incredibly difficult. I still can't believe you're gone...I miss you so much it hurts.

I only recently learned of Davids passing and I was shocked and saddened. I am so sorry for his family and friends who loved David so much. He was such a vibrant young man. Its obvious by all of these posts that he was adored by many. I'm so sorry he died so young. I know he will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him. I have many wonderful and fun memories of him, as well as my favorite recipe, for lemon pepper chicken....which David cooked over a bunsen burner, on a cold and wet May 24 camping weekend deep in the middle of Algonquin park. That was David. Thanks for the fun memories. I will always remember you fondly. Kathleen

It hasn't been that long since I learned of your death. It still doesn't seem real to me. You were a gift in my life that I will cherish forever! You were a part of my life that I will cherish forever. You were an angel on earth, and you are now an angel in heaven. I'm sure you and Kade are touching as many hearts as you did here on earth. I miss you!!

Family was everything to David, and sadly we had him far too short a time in our family. The beauty of David was that you got to know him instantly and he shared himself completely.
The best we can do to respect his memory is to be there for his beloved wife Kaley.
