David Dyck
April 17th, 2014
David Dyck aged 80 years passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus with his wife Tina by his side on April 17th, 2014. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife, and best friend Tina. His children Doreen, Gary, Sheryl (Joe), Janet (Dan) and Pat (Vic). Proud grandfather of Parker, Shaun (Linda), Sherri (Rob), Dana, Lee, Tyler, Vanessa, (Rob), Brett, Joshua, Kaitlin (Anthony), and Caleb. Great grandfather of Myla, Aleksander, Elias, and Markus. He will also be missed by his brothers John (Mary), Willie (Lorraine) and sister Lena (Arnold) as well as extended family and friends. David is pre-deceased by his parents Abraham and Lena, brothers Abe, Jake, Pete, Henry, Frank and Ed.
Although he came from simple beginnings, hard work and determination characterized him. Most of David’s working career was spent as a carpenter in the construction industry building houses. In his later working career he worked for MEI as a custodian, he thoroughly enjoyed working there and especially loved the students, who he liked to interact with. He also enjoyed camping at places like Vedder River, Enderby and Lac La Hache. David realized many accomplishments and adventures during his life but by far his biggest treasures were his wife, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many friends.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day …… unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very near.
