Obituary for
David Nixon
Charles David Clive Nixon, affectionately known to all as “just Dave”, passed away peacefully in Edmonton, Alberta on August 20, 2023, at the age of 68 years.
Dave was born in Warrington, England on November 3, 1954, to Eric and Irene Nixon. He grew up and attended school there, where he showed a love for learning, particularly chemistry. He attended the University of Birmingham where he earned a degree in chemical engineering. Always the adventurer, Dave immigrated to Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada in 1981 to pursue a successful career in the oil and gas sector with Syncrude Canada Limited, becoming a highly respected project manager.
In addition to his work, Dave was a beloved father to his daughter Charlotte and his son Phillip, filling their childhood with bike rides, tree forts, and bedtime stories. While in Fort McMurray Dave’s love of genealogy grew, particularly his one name study on the Ismay family. While being a member of the Fort McMurray Genealogical Society he met his future wife. In 2008, Dave married Lois LeVesconte in Edmonton, Alberta. Dave lived in Edmonton for many years enjoying a wonderful backyard garden, going to the symphony, attending the annual Edmonton Fringe and becoming the president of the Orchid Species Preservation Foundation (OSPF). In retirement and with Lois by his side, Dave became a globetrotter with trips to Great Britian, The United States, Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. Dave always put family first and loved spending time camping, playing board games, and laughing by a fire. Dave thrived in the role of teacher and mentor and spent much of his time sharing his knowledge of orchids with school children, tour groups, and orchid enthusiasts.
Dave’s memory will be cherished by his wife, Lois LeVesconte; children, Charlotte Nixon (Adam Mailman) and Phillip (Contessa) Nixon; stepdaughter, Anne MacGougan; sister, Heather (Kevin) Ralphs; niece and nephew, Emma (Mike) Crarer and Matthew (Alexis) Ralphs; grandchildren, Aiden, Emery, and Addison. Dave is survived by his mother-in-law, Norma; sister-in-law, Claire (Murray) Gibney; and his brother in-law, Alan (Liliana) LeVesconte. Finally, Dave will be fondly remembered by his Canadian family of nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, life-long friends, and all those deeply touched by his generous and kind spirit.
A Celebration of Dave’s life will be held Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. at Park Memorial Reception Centre, 11015 – 101 Street NW, Edmonton.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like to support the things that brought Dave joy: The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Teatro La Quindicina, and the Orchid Species Preservation Foundation.
