David Roy Eager
1955-2020
Eager, David Roy – Passed away
suddenly at home at on, Saturday, December 19, 2020. David was a Cape
Bretoner through and through. One of the kindest sweetest and most
loving people in the world. It seemed to be that his super
power was to make a person feel comfortable and never hesitate to help
anyone out. Whether it was to take family or neighbors to an
appointment or to mow a neighbor’s lawn. He was there to lend a hand.
David loved his family with all his heart. Whenever anyone asked David
about Paige or his grandchildren, he would proudly tell you what they
were doing whether it be their adventures on the farm, school or just
what they were up to. He was the best Papa a grandkid could have and a
daughter could not ask for a better father. He was a loving,
caring husband who will be greatly missed by his loving wife Margie;
daughter, Paige and son-in-law Adam; grandchildren, Rylee, Rowdy and
Memphis and his dog, Ginger.
After making the decision to retire from the pulp and paper
mill, it was apparent that this was the best decision he ever
made. David was able to visit Paige, Adam and their children
for extended visits. He enjoyed these visits with Paige, Adam and
their family. He also loved being home on « The Hill ». This
was his happy place. He loved tinkering in the garage on little
projects and being outdoors.
David is survived by his wife, Margie; daughter, Paige,
son-in-law, Adam; granddaughter, Rylee; grandsons, Rowdy and Memphis;
brother, Jimmy (Diana and children, Dale (Pat), Johnathan (Rachel and
family); sisters, Marlene (son Mark), Joan (Susan); sister-in-law,
Carol; father-in-law, Neil; sister-in-law, Cathy (Fred, children Mike,
Meghann, Karyn and their families); brother-in-law, Bob (Wendy, sons
Alex, Will and their families); sister-in-law, Fran (Michael,
daughters Courtney, Britt); and many great nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by father, Lester; mother, Eleanor; brother, Wesley and
mother-in-law, Lennie.
Many thanks to the 911 dispatcher, the paramedics who worked
tirelessly, Arichat RCMP officers, Paige who made all those calls and
Stephen Richard. As per David’s request, there will be no
wake or funeral. A celebration of life will be at a later
date.
