In memory of David Reid
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of David Reid on August 7th at St. Clare’s Hospital. David was born in Chapel Arm, “during a card game at Aunt Jessie’s house”- as he famously described it. He later moved to Clarenville where he began a 34-year career as a network technician with Terra Nova Tel/Bell Aliant. David was a kind, generous and funny man. He was always the first to lend a helping hand and was loved for his sense of humor. He enjoyed going on quad, hunting, fishing, visiting his cabin and cheering for his beloved Toronto Maple Leaf’s.
David is predeceased by his parents, Cleophas and Josie Reid, siblings Tim, Don, Jimmy and Janie, and his niece Kellie.
David is fondly remembered by his 2 children, Kelsey and Jacob, and their mother Yvette. He will be greatly missed by his siblings: Ivy (Austin), Edgar (Cindy), Gerry (Janice), Phyllis (Paul), Gord (Theresa), Otto, and Cleophas (Sarah), along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. David will also be missed by his in laws Ed and Edwina Drover, Dean (Shelley), Chad (Caroline), and Jillian.
David was loved and respected by many co workers, neighbors, and good friends. And while there are too many to mention everyone individually, the family would like to give a special mention to, Sharon & Dennis Benson, Ross and Dwitty Green, John & Marsha Rowe, Fred Slade, Donald Barker, Cecil Critch, and special friend Kelly Cooper.
As per David’s wishes cremation has taken place and there will be no formal funeral service. The family receive visitors at Holloway’s Funeral Home in Whitbourne on Tuesday August 10th from 10am-12pm and 2-4pm.
Our family would like to give our appreciation and gratitude to all the medical and nursing staff on 4West at St. Clare’s for providing exceptional care to David during his hospital stay.
Flowers are respectfully declined, we ask that those who wish to honor David, do so by doing an act of kindness for a stranger, family member or friend, just as David would do.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of David Reid August 8 2021..
