David Crittenden Obituary

Jon David Crittenden

October 28, 1951 - February 8, 2025

Passed away at the age of 73 on February 8, 2025.

David "Dave" is remembered fondly for his love of life, family, music, dogs and building things. He is survived by his mother, Shirley; his wife, Sharmann; his four children, Sam (Claire), Becky (Rich), Daniel (Kenzie) and Sarah; his six grandchildren, Ben, Ellie, Cole, Maddie, Georgia and Charley; and many other close family members.

An entrepreneur at heart, David's career path was as adventurous as he was. Starting out as a lawyer, it was in real estate and the restaurant business where he found joy and success.

David lived in Bloor West Village and loved walking his dogs in High Park and discovering new restaurants in the city, but nowhere was he happier than at his cottage in Honey Harbour where the beer was always flowing and all were welcome.

He is predeceased by his father, Lloyd; sister, Marie; and his pups, Nipper, Russell, Roger and Ruby, who we are sure will be waiting at the gates for him.

Cheers to Dave.
