We graduated together from Campbell Collegiate in Regina. The year book had Dave down as “He wears Army boots.” Dave was one of those who lived life to the full — extreme sports would be his approach! He became a committed Christian in high school. His life was one of reaching out to others. These last few years he has been in Cairo — pastoring a church.
There are many memories that I cherish — no one else could take an Austin Mini around a corner on two wheels quite the way Dave could. No one else just attracted other people quite like Dave could — they just wanted to be with him. My parents considered him as part of the “gang” who arrived at our house quite often for “fun, food and fellowship.” And, if you were walking with Dave, you knew there was another companion on the road with you, his friend Jesus.
Yesterday Dave accidentally fell from a balcony.
Today he walks with his friend, Jesus.
Oh man Ron, I’m sorry to hear that. But glad that he lived a full life.
Peace to his memory.
You are very right, Pastor Dave sure loved Jesus, he really loved all of God’s creation -white, black whatever tags we carry. No day passes without me feeling the loss of my dear pastor. He blessed my marriage, blessed our children, blessed our cars. I remember him praying when we got our new car saying that the car will be a ministry car to carry people and I was so blessed he said that, cause that was my vision.
Indeed, How great is our God, ’cause, His ways are not known to us. All I know and beleive is that Pastor Dave now truely is enjoying unlimited fellowship with his creator and friend.
