It is with profound sadness and heartfelt reverence that we announce the passing of David Nelson Wilson, a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, dedicated serviceman, and cherished friend, who departed this world peacefully on March 10, 2026, at the age of 92.

David was born on August 18, 1933, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where he would begin a remarkable journey that touched the lives of many. David's life was a testament to dedication, love, and craftsmanship. A proud veteran, he served with honor and distinction as a Wing Commander in the Canadian Royal Airforce. David held dual citizenship in both Canada and the United States.

In 1982, David married the love of his life, Doris, with whom he shared a beautiful and enduring partnership for 44 wonderful years. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless shared memories.

David was a man of many passions, each pursued with the same meticulous attention to detail that defined his life. He loved building things with his hands, finding joy and fulfillment in the art of creation. David loved model trains and Department 56 villages. Every Christmas he would build the most incredible displays of miniature villages, trains and landscapes.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Doris Wilson, who remains the keeper of their shared dreams and memories. Her strength and will during this time are a testament to their everlasting love.
