David Dargie Steeves
1937-2017
David Dargie Steeves, Charlottetown, passed away
peacefully in his sleep Wednesday, May 3, 2017, 79
years.
Beloved husband to Linda (McCabe) Steeves; dear father of
Kelly (Robert) Steeves and Michelle (Todd, deceased) Steeves-Wall;
step father of Michael (Sherri) McCabe; loving grandfather of Chase
Wall; brother of Sandra (George, deceased) Turner, Michael (Elena)
Steeves, Catherine (Richard) Porter, Nancy Steeves, Ruth (David)
Mather, and Alex (Shirley) Steeves; and uncle of many nephews and
nieces.
David graduated from Hillsborough High and the New Brunswick
Teachers’ College. After several jobs in New Brunswick,
including a teaching position at Port Elgin Regional High School,
David found his career as a training manager with the Federal
Department of Manpower and Immigration in Charlottetown where he
provided twenty-seven years of dedicated service before taking early
retirement at the age of 56.
David was a natural athlete. He loved playing hockey and,
later in life, learned to play golf. David loved traveling and
watching curling and baseball with me. David liked to play online
poker, was an avid bridge player, and was passionate about writing. He
was well known in Charlottetown for his letters to the editor where he
« covered the island like the dew, » frequently writing daily
about a variety of issues.
David was a devoted father and exceptionally proud
grandfather. He delighted in all Chase’s accomplishments,
but none more so than his academic achievements. David valued
education and made sure Chase’s postsecondary education was
fully funded by building an education savings plan starting when Chase
was two.
David achieved many milestones in his long life but he and
his family were extremely proud of his twenty-three years of
sobriety.
Funeral service will be held Monday, May 8, 2017 at 3 p.m. at
Hennessey – Cutcliffe – Charlottetown Funeral
Homes, 33 Longworth Avenue, Charlottetown. Reverend Michael Steeves
officiating. Burial to follow at Cornwall United Church Cemetery, 9
Cornwall Rd, Cornwall.
