It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of David at the age of 52.

David was born in Kamloops, B.C. and lived with his parents and siblings in Clearwater until age 5. Following his mother's passing, David moved to Kamloops and was cared for by Irene Crowson and her husband until the age of 18. In April 1994, he moved to Interior Community Services Centennial House which he called home for the past 19 years.

David was an active volunteer with the SPCA for 22 years and received the Provincial Volunteer of the Year award in 2002. He also actively participated in Special Olympics, volunteered at the Kamloops Food Bank, held a position as a board member for the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Association for the Mentally Ill, cleaned the streets of Tranquille 3 days a week as well as the Northills Mall bus loop through his employment at Smart Options. He will be fondly remembered for his ready smile and contagious giggle.

His kind and generous spirit touched all who knew him...especially his soul mate Ann Marie.

David was predeceased by his mother Mary Barbara (Jean), brothers John and Louis, and sisters Phyllis and Darlene.

He is survived by his father Victor as well as his three sisters Rose, Cindy and Jeannie.

He also leaves behind his niece Becky (Jeff) and great-nephews Braden and Luke. Also feeling his loss are his Uncles Mel, Vic and Walter as well as his cousin Mike.

He was Dearly Loved by his family and he will be sadly missed
by all who knew him.

David loved animals and had a beautiful tender heart and respect for all of God's Creation.

In David's memory and if so desired, donations may be made to the Kamloops SPCA.

A Celebration of David's Life will be held at his loving church home, the Kamloops Gospel Chapel, 1365 Tranquille Road on May 30, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. with reception to follow at same location.
