David SMITH Obituary

SMITH, David Charles It is with heavy hearts that the family of David Charles Smith announce his passing. David, age 65, passed away surrounded by loved ones just before midnight on January 7, 2019 at Markham StouffviIle Hospital. David was born on September 29, 1953 to James ""Jim"" and Dorothy (Blake) Smith (predeceased). Truly beloved by his family, Dave was also known in the community for his charisma, charm, kindness and a wicked sense of humour. He was a man of honour and integrity; a plumber to many but a friend and neighbour to all. While many knew him under his business name - D&J Smith Plumbing - Dave's ultimate calling was music, with rhythm in his veins and large hands meant for the strings of a bass guitar. It was a gift that he bestowed upon everyone whose hearts he touched. A man with music in his soul is one who never really departs this fragile Earth, and though the mortal body may be gone his song remains forever with us. David Smith is survived by his wife Vincenza De Maria, daughters AIanna and Lauren Smith, and his brother and sister Jeff Smith and Jill Noad. His eldest brother Glenn Smith predeceased him. While no funeral will be held, a celebration of life will be planned and announced at a later date.

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I had met Dave when he did some plumbing jobs for me. I remember him for his honesty, integrity, and straight talk, as well as as the quality of his work.

Dave was wonderful, caring and authentic, honest man. He is deeply missed. Think about him all the time. He did many jobs for me throughout my courier in the construction business. Gods bless him and his family
