David Robert Paul
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of David Robert Paul, who passed away peacefully in his 63rd year after a courageous battle with cancer. Dave, born in Peterborough on July 7, 1963, was surrounded by his loving family at Casey House in Toronto.
Dave will be forever missed by his siblings Marvin, Nancy (Gerald), Steve (Jenny), Brian (Clara), and Don (Kathi).
He was a loving Uncle to his nieces, nephews, as well as his cousins, and many friends. Dave was predeceased by his parents, Marie and Ray, and his partner Hugh.
David attended Adam Scott High School in Peterborough where he graduated as School Valedictorian, and was well known affectionately to his friends there as “George P.” He then preceded to continue on to Waterloo and Ryerson Universitys in Journalism.
Dave loved Soccer and Irish culture and his life was rich with meaningful relationships and acts of kindness that touched many. He will be remembered for his gentle spirit, compassion and enduring love for his family and friends.
We would like to thank the doctors and nurses from both Princes Margart Hospital, as well as Casey House. The care and kindness shown for Dave at Casey House was truly appreciated by Dave and extremely humbling for our family. We can’t thank the staff there enough for their great work and compassion.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to Casey House, or The Canadian Cancer Society.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Peterborough this summer, with details to follow.
