🕊️ In Loving Memory of David Rose

August 5, 1946 – July 30, 2025

David Rose, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished friend, passed away peacefully just six days before his 79th birthday after a courageous battle with illness.

David shared a beautiful life with his wife, Judy, and was a guiding light to his children—Kathy, Jeff, and Scott. He was predeceased by Kathy and survived by five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was known for his quiet strength, dry wit, and unwavering love for his family. He also had a deep love for music, which brought joy to his life and those around him.

A true outdoorsman, David found peace in nature—whether hunting, fishing, hiking, or simply enjoying the fresh air. He had a lifelong passion for building model airplanes, as his father was part of the RAF. David was also famous for his Sunday roasts and Yorkshire puddings, which he prepared with pride and precision.

David was never one for fuss or fanfare. His gruff exterior often hid a heart full of loyalty, humor, and deep affection. Those who knew him best understood that beneath the grumbles was a man who cared fiercely and loved deeply.

He faced his final days with grace, surrounded by those who loved him most. The family would like to thank the staff at Sturgeon Hospital and his special home care worker for their compassionate care and support. Though he is gone, his spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held at Grace United Church, Aug 30. Time to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations are graciously appreciated to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

“God saw you getting tired, a cure was not to be, so He wrapped you in His loving arms and whispered "Come with Me".
