David KNIGHT

KNIGHT, David Died suddenly in Nelson, BC on February 26, 2008, aged 51, of a heart attack caused by complications due to diabetes. He grew up in Ottawa, Honeywood and Kincardine, ON. Dave moved to Winlaw, B.C. and lived there until his death. He leaves behind his beloved granddaughter Niya and beloved daughters Bryar & Sayre Knight. These three were the greatest joy of his life and he loved them immeasurably. He is survived, and sadly missed, by his beloved mother Audrey and stepfather Gerry O'Callaghan, father Jack Knight and stepmom, Elinor, sisters Lianne Dubreuil (Alain), and Jennifer Jones (Tony), brother Michael O'Callaghan (Debbie), former wives Trena Knight and Lynn Rubinstein, lifelong friend Bill Cameron, and many more. Lovingly remembered by nephews Ian, Sean, Kyle and nieces Taryn, Brittany, Jessica, Samantha, Lindsay and Amanda. He is also survived and missed by Dragonfly Farm, his neighbours in the West Kootenays, LRY (Liberal Religious Youth) and more. After family, community was David's central value. He left us too soon, but in 51 years David had more friends and adventures than most people ever will. Following a funeral home visitation and cremation in BC, celebrations of David's life will be held in B.C. and in McDonalds Corners ON at the MERA Schoolhouse on the afternoon of April 12, 2008. Donations can be made, in David's memory to Child Haven International and/or the Canadian Diabetes Association. Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 3/9/2008 - 3/15/2008
