He was a devoted member of the North Sydney Fire Department and was passionate about the Search and Rescue Team and the Cape Breton Burn Camp. He was an avid hunter and fisherman spending countless hours with his friends in the Highlands of Cape Breton. But most of all, Dave was a loving husband and father and a proud grandfather to Jagger.

Dave was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Donna.
