Obituary of David Stephen Durham

David (Dave) Stephen Durham

February 8, 1966 to September 12, 2023

Dave passed away on Tuesday September 12, 2023 leaving behind his parents Duncan & Elaine Durham, his brother Rob (Jennifer), the nieces & nephews he so enjoyed – Brittany (Jordan), James, Emily, and Sydney – as well many cousins, and friends in both Toronto and Ottawa.  He was pre-deceased by his brother Chris (Jennifer).

Dave was a kind, thoughtful, and generous person – he would go out of his way to take an interest in those he loved and follow their lives & activities with great enthusiasm and interest.

He was born and raised in Toronto and moved to Ottawa to attend Carlton University.  While he would return to Toronto from time to time, he always returned to Ottawa and his many friends there.  He was proud of the work he did as part of a crew on a multi-year project to restore the buildings on Parliament Hill.

He loved sports, both playing and watching.  He loved music, especially live music.  He was loved by many.  He will be missed by all.

Visitation will be held at Dixon Garland Funeral Home on Saturday, September 23, 2023 from 11 - 12p.m. In loving memory of David, a Memorial Service will start at 12 noon followed by a time of refreshments and fellowship. Following his reception, an interment of his ashes will take place at Newmarket Cemetery. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army.
