Mr. David Joseph Horton

June 9, 1936 - December 16, 2016

The world is a little less fun now. David Joseph

Horton, son of Jack and Grace, younger

brother of Jack and Margaret, husband of

Barbara, father of John (Stacey), Andrea

(Ron), and Geoff, grandfather of J.C.,

Cheney, Haley, Tatum and Sarah passed

away quietly on December 16, 2016. He was

beloved and he was a star in all of his roles. An

opportunity to celebrate, ideally in costume,

and assuredly with a game, was always

foremost in his mind. He was a loving and

loyal friend among his own generation as well

as the generations that succeeded him. He

was a connoisseur of a good joke, a fine wine,

a ski and apre`s ski, a golf game (always with a

wager), fishing (always with beers), monthly

poker games with his fraternity brothers and

whenever possible, a wonderful lunch or

dinner. He mentored a generation of

financiers at Canaccord Capital before

retiring and taking up his new-found passion,

painting, which gave him such pleasure in his

later years. If riches are friends you would be

hard pressed to find a wealthier man.

His optimism until his last moment was

irrepressible - we have all been enriched by

the time we spent with him and are deeply

saddened by his passing.

The family would like to thank Drs. Rusanna Mitchell, Jorge

Denegri, Saul Isserow, David Taylor and

Michael Copland for quarterbacking his

medical needs with such compassion. We

would also like to thank Roque Capito,

David's caregiver and trusty sidekick these

past two years. A celebration of life will be

held at a later date.
