Dave and I met and got to know each other a little through pick up hockey.  It will be hard to play now without thinking about him.  We'll keep his memory alive until we meet again on the big ice upstairs.

Although we didn't know each other well, you were a gentleman and a friend to me on the ice.  I know you will be dearly missed.  My sincere condolences.

I have searched and searched for words to express my great sadness.  Unfortunately they just cannot be found.  Those of us that knew and loved Dave will find strength in our memories.  Unfound answers cannot bring him back to us.  I take solace in knowing he is back in his mothers arms where he will rest for eternity.  

Love from Connie & family

My husband and I did not get the pleasure of getting to know Dave better from the short time that he was our neighbor however he always had a smile on his face and was very friendly and down to earth person.  We are very shocked and our hearts go out to his friends and family.  May he rest in peace.

Dave will be greatly missed.  I will miss his smile, his humour, and everything about Dave.  May you rest in peace.

Thanks for the great memories.

We share your loss and grief
Dave will be remembered as a frequent and always welcome visitor to our home.
May you recall the bright memories, cheerful times, those quiet evenings and nights when grief was not present. May you be comforted now - When all is so different. 

God bless and comfort you all.

Ray and Salme Repo

Dave, today I found myself sending you a joke online as I've done so many times before. Just before I hit " send ", reality set in. Today as I stood next to you, reality set in. Yet I felt a calmness, as if you had your arm around me saying " It's okay Susie Q, this is not the end."   Until we meet again, the reality is that  we will all miss you every day.  Love forever Susie, Doug & Family

David will be sadly missed by all of his school friends from RH McGregor and East York. He’ll never be forgotten. I'm glad we got the time to reconnect on Facebook. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

I am truly saddened to hear about Dave. May God's Blessings be with you now and in the days to come. And may God's Peace enfold Dave forever more. 

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

David, I look at your face and cannot believe this has happened.  You were always on top of the world, with something funny to say, and laughing and joking.  It is so so sad, and the only comfort that we can get from this is knowing that you will be reunited with your Mom.  You had so much life left to live, gone much too soon.  The family will miss you.  Rest in peace my friend and may God keep you in the palm of his hand.

David, David, David...you were always on top of the world, joking, laughing, having fun. Didn't see you often, but lots on FB...never skipped a beat, conversations picked up where we left off.  This is so, so sad.  The only comfort now, is that you will be with your Mom.  You will be missed, rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Mr. David Joseph Dawes,

Oh my God. Im still in shock.  My Brother (Taso), called me a few days after my 45th Birthday to inform me, of the loss of Great Person in many people's lives. David to this day, I remind myself from time to time of the great moments we spent and the many hours, growing up, going to Hollingers, Hockey games you played in, delivering Milk for Neilson etc. You did love to DRIVE, so much so it looks to me you drove Class A rigs to the end. Fast and Big, lol

David you will be sadly missed, in life but never ever forgotten.....Keep an Eye on us from Above....to all the immediate Family, Relatives and Friends, Our Greatest Sympathies, 

Yours  Kostas, Margaret and Maria Kapothanasis

In memory of a man who made a difference in my life...in many lives; a man with whom I shared laughter and tears; a man who told it like it was and with whom I could do the same. He knew how I felt, I knew how he felt. There was never anything left unsaid. I will not forget!

If there is such a place as heaven I hope he is there, peaceful, happy, & laughing with his Mom.

David will be greatly missed by all of his school friends from r.h. mcgregor through to east york ... he had a great sense of humour and the cutest smile, i'll always remember that.  I'm glad we got the time to reconnect on Facebook.  My condolences to his family and the many friends he had ... obviously he was loved by many.  

Love Michelle Bazouzi (Dadd) xox

The words in my heart and head are over flowing because I just feel like I have lost so much and your family has lost even more. You made everyday for me so exciting in your humour, your warmth, your inspirition and your endless information and vast memory. I loved how you remembered things from the past just like it was yesterday.  You brought me into your world by telling me every detail of you life up until the day we reconnected and then kept me involved every day so I felt like I was with you.  You always wanted to know everything about my day and showed such interest in me, the kids, work etc. I know you were trying to be as much apart of our life here as you want me to be apart of yours there.  I will forever remember every detail of all times we were together in this long distance relationship.  You made me feel like to wasn't so long distance many a day.  My heart will forever miss you in my day.  I can't imagine not having you in my life as I really thought I had found my soulmate, my lover and my bestfriend in you and I now know I did.
With all my love to the future I will never know.. I ache in the not knowing

Love always Michelle (your East York Cheerleader) I will forever be cheering for you

Dave... so many memories will live in my heart forever. Your kind soul and generous spirit touched many people. You changed my life with your love...and your friendship.
Everytime I see a rollercoaster.. I think of you.. you are the reason cheese slices will forever make me laugh..and why I cheer even louder for the Leafs!!! 
missing you always.... ..xoxo...

Dave was a friend for life, all of my life.  I cherish our memories growing up together and will ensure that I spend the rest of my life trying to be the friend to others that Dave was to me.  --Mirja Raita (friend, school mate, childhood neighbour).

Dave was a father, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, but most of all a friend to everyone.  Dave had a way of making us all laugh with his sense of humor and wit.  He made a friend where ever he would go and would talk to anyone that crossed his path.  I know he has touched many people with his kindness and his laughter and we all miss him dearly.
Let us honor Dave with all the good memories he has left us with.
Dave...I love you and miss you terribly
Terri (Teresa) Dawes

In loving memory of a wonderful Cousin, you will be missed but, never forgotten.XO

David had a nature you could not help loving,
And a heart that was purer than gold,
And to those who knew him and loved him
His memory will never grow cold. 
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
May this candle burn eternally for you David, and cast a little love and warmth for your family during this difficult time.
RIP David
We love you.

Our Deepest Sympathy Chantal, Jordan, Teresa and Haley!  
Both Mike (Taco) and I Would Like to Say Sorry for the Loss of Your Dad, Brother & Our Dear Friend and Partner.
