November 2, 1946 - May 20, 2020
It with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mr. David Kennedy Linton, of Comox, on Friday, May 20, 2022, at the age of 75 years.
Dave was a man of many trades, he was an entrepreneur, a salesman and a musician; his best memories were all band related. He also loved to read, garden, golf, travel, and going camping, especially when he got to build big bonfires.
Dave was a member of Branch No. 17 - Courtenay Legion. A big thank you to our Legion family who have been so very caring and supportive.
Dave was shy unless he was on stage. He loved meeting with friends for a beer and a blather. Dave loved a good laugh and often teased his friends. He really liked getting new clothes and being with his wife. Dave was much loved and will be very sadly missed.
Dave was predeceased by his parents, Adam and Jean, and his brother Derek (Madge).
He will be very dearly missed by his loving wife, Barbara; his sons Lee (Tina) and Dean (Crystal); his daughter, Debbie (Kelly); his grandchildren, Brandi, Donovan, Cyrus, Tarlo, Kendra, Madison, Breanna, and Jessica; his brother, Jimmy (Rita); and his nieces and nephews, Sean (Emma), Samantha (Archie), Robbie, Jae, Paul (Jean), Jack, Mathew, Kristy, Tracey, James, Kristine (Boyce), Darlene, Laura, Melanie, Tiegan and Gage (Berkley).
The family would like to thank friends, Marjorie Walters, Terri Willcox, Joyce Smith, Dave and Nony Bell, Mike, and Merle Langermantel and all the friends who have helped through this time. If desired, Memorial Donations in Dave's honour may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Diabetes Canada or to Crohn's and Colitis Canada.
