It is with broken hearts we have to say good by to the most
wonderful husband and father, David V Power at the age of
55.
David will be forever loved and so missed by Dana (McCarthy)
his best friend and wife of 25 years, and his two sons whom he loved
so much and was so proud of Zachary (Brittany) &
Jacob. He loved nothing more
than to watch all their accomplishments over the
years and know that he was their main influence in life. Zachary has
his dad’s his sense of humour and the ability to fix
anything and everything. He has followed in David’s
footsteps becoming a Journeyman Mechanic (Heavy Duty). Jacob is an
Avid Lacrosse player and David took so much pride
in watching him fulfill his dreams and most
recently he was able to travel to North Carolina to watch him play at
the NCAA level.
David loved the outdoors, camping, hunting, quadding and
anything that involved friends and fun, but most of all fishing. Over
the last 2 years he made sure to take advantage of ever opportunity to
go fishing even when times he didn’t have the
strength. With his perseverance and his fishing
buddies (you know who you are) he never missed a good day on the water
or on the ice to try to catch "the Big
one."
David also loved his job, he went to work every day with a
smile on his face even during his most difficult days. He worked for
the last 15 years for Sysco Edmonton, most recently as Fleet &
Facility Manager. He took great pride in his work
and his last day at Sysco was certainly one of his hardest
days.
And then there was music….If you knew David you
knew singing and whistling was a big part of who he was. He was often
referred to as the "Singing Mechanic" and known for blurting
out lyrics that related to any conversation you were
having. If he was awake he was singing and Jacob so
much like his dad will continue to carry on his love of singing and
everything music.
David is now Reunited with his parents Lawrence and Theresa,
his brother Larry, and his father-in-Law Ray.
Also loved by his sisters Yvonne (Billy), Anne (Peter), Rose
(Cyril), Brother Greg, Mother-in-Law Eunice, Brother-in-law Dean
(Chantal) sister-in-law Michelle, many nieces & nephews and
extended family.
Truly missed by too many friends and coworkers to mention
(from NL to ON to AB) and of course his Buddies….. Mason
and Mack will be forever waiting for his footsteps at the
door.
Until we meet again my love,
"The sun comes up and seasons change , through it all
love remains…"
At Davids request Cremation has taken
place.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Maher's Funeral Home,
