Des was born in Penticton, BC. He grew up there and in Sidney, BC. The family moved to Alberta in 1973. Des attended Carmi School, Deep Cove School and Campbelltown School. He graduated from Salisbury Composite High School, University of British Columbia, University of Alberta and Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Des enjoyed many return visits to BC and travels across Canada, which often included the family pets he so loved. He worked for Canada Revenue Agency for 26 years and his many friends and colleagues will miss his sense of humour and his kind heartedness.
Des was predeceased by his father, David, his mother, Freda, and his brother, Dave.
He will be very much missed and admired by his sister, Linda, his aunt, Edith Carlson and many cousins.

Death notice for the town of: Edmonton, Province: Alberta
Des will be sorely missed by all. In the 11 years I knew him, he never had an unkind word for anyone and would drop everything to help anyone who needed it. He always had a warm smile and was an all around amazing person.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and I pray you find peace and comfort from the love and support given to you through this difficult time.
