It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of David Paget on February 27, 2011.

He will be greatly missed by his loving wife Elaine, daughter Alison (Hector), son Derek, grandchildren Sofia and Sebastian, and brothers Peter (Heather) and George (Barb).

Dave was such a kind, gentle, and generous person, and a very devoted father to his children. He was never without a warm smile on his face and always had something nice to say to everyone. Dave had the unique ability to make friends with anyone, anytime. His eagerness to build always put him at the center of any project; his favorite place, the lake cabin, was made with his skilled hands and warm heart. He will long be remembered and dearly missed by his many friends and family.

In honour of Dave's passion for ice hockey, donations can be to the Mickey Fritz Memorial Fund, Scotiabank, 276 Victoria Street, Kamloops, B.C. V2C 2A2.

A Celebration of Dave's Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, 2011 at The Comfort Inn Suites banquet room, 1810 Rogers Place, Kamloops.
