David Lachance Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 29 to Dec. 30, 2021.

David Laurent Lachance
May 10, 1952 - December 25, 2021 (70th Year)

It is with great sorrow that our family wishes to announce Dave's passing, peacefully at home after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer.
Predeceased by Parents Jack and Marie Lachance (nee Warburton).
Survived by Wife Maureen (45 Years), son Mathew David, son Andrew Scott (Brielle), guardianship of Winston Taylor (Deandra) and grandchildren (respectively) Jaxson, Connor, Amaya, Ayden and Tessa. Siblings John, Louise and Joanne. Special supportive, loving family Diane, Ollie and Blake.

It was Dave's expressed wish to not have a formal funeral service. He preferred that those who walked with him in life, take a "moment of remembrance" for the fair man he tried to be and decent life he tried to live. He was grateful for the life he'd been given. It is with humility that he asks this of you.

Dave and our family are forever grateful for the many hands and hearts that touched and cared for Dave throughout his illness. We are humbled by your dedication and service. Special thanks to Community Palliative Services (Anne), Dr. Carter, Dr. Hotte, Dr. Khambalia and many more.

In lieu of flowers, Dave wishes for donations to be made in his memory to a children's charity in honour of the blessings he was fortunate to know in life through his children and grandchildren.

"He who sees the Son, sees the Father."
Rest in Peace Our Love
Amen

I wasn't a close friend of Dave but I remember him from hockey at Parkdale Rink and my recollection is of him as a very good goalie and we were also on the very first junior football team at Churchill. It was almost 55 years ago, and the reason I remember him is because he was always laughing and smiling (just like he is in the picture in his obit) just a great guy to be around. My sympathy for your loss.
