It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of such a wonderful man. David Rambeau, age 57, passed away on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 at the VG Hospital, Halifax, surrounded by his loving family. He was a beloved husband, dad, brother, son-in-law, uncle, grand-uncle, cousin and godfather. Born on May 20, 1960 in Halifax, David was the son of the late Stevie and Delphina Rambeau.
David was a person who had a positive effect on all who knew him. He had a smile for everyone. He will be remembered as kind and gentle, a deep thinker and one with quick wit. He was able to do whatever he set his mind to. He could figure anything out that was put before him. He was our "David of many trades" - he could fix anything and even built the family home as well as many other renovations and many other homes.
David was an avid fisherman sailing the seas from Newfoundland, Greenland, Norway, Halifax, and all the way to the shores of Smelt Brook. He worked as a crew member, first mate aboard the Concordia and Captain of the Swell Master.
David loved to drive and his latest career was a Service Truck Driver with “The Crew” at Dexter Construction.
David came from a very musical family and wrote many songs for his brother to sing. He loved listening to music and singing karaoke. He also had a passion for reading a good book. David loved hockey and played for the Smelt Brooke Raiders in his younger years. Like his brothers he loved the Montréal Canadiens. He enjoyed his sisters raisin bread and date squares and loved Kim’s blueberry desserts.
David married the love of his life and his best friend, Kim. They were together for 29 years and raised their one and only son, Dalton Wayne in Greys Hollow. He was David's pride and joy.
David is survived by his darling wife, Kim (Petrie); son, Dalton; brothers, Joey (Michelle), Bobby (Bonnie) and Arnold; sisters, Darlene McLeod and Wilma (Paul) Tilley; uncle, Frankie; aunt, Susie (Douglas) Briand; mother-in-law, Peggy Petrie; brother-in-law, Lloydie; sisters-in-law; Michelle (Joey), Catherine (Francis) and Georgeina (Robert); many nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grandnieces;

Besides his parents, David was predeceased by his sister, Isabelle Rambeau; uncles, Joseph, Peter, Francis, William and John David; aunts, Margaret, Mary and Willena; father-in-law, Lloyd Petrie and brother-in-law, Maurice Petrie.
