James David Stockhausen was a caring and loyal friend, brother, father, grandfather, and a great-grandfather twice over. After a fierce battle with cancer, David passed away on July 6, 2022, while being cared for at Hospice Simcoe in Barrie, Ontario.
David was born in Jamaica on September 4, 1936, the second child of Sidney and Hazel (Banbury) Stockhausen. A born raconteur, no gathering, party, or funeral was complete without David saying a prayer, sharing a joke, or telling an entertaining story. He was deeply spiritual, and a passionate lover of life. David was known throughout his community as a lively debater, a man of firmly held opinions, and a good man to have in your corner, especially when you needed to borrow something from his infinite tool shed.
David leaves behind his only daughter, Tanya Silvera (Robert), grandchildren Nikolas and Arielle, and great-grandchildren, Storm and Sadie. He will be missed by his siblings, Colin Stockhausen (Beverley) and Rosemary Kleyn van de Poll and their families, and by his steadfast partner, Beverley Good.
Arrangements entrusted to Gilbert MacIntyre and Son Funeral Home, 252 Dublin St. N, Guelph. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday July 20th, at 11 am. Interment to follow at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Guelph. The funeral service will be live streamed using the link on the funeral home website.
Memorial donations may be made to Hospice Simcoe in Barrie, at hospicesimcoe.ca.

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of David Stockhausen Wednesday July 6th 2022..
Death notice for the town of: Guelph, Province: Ontario
Hi Pops! I’m going to miss you and I speak for the Mugfords. You were larger than life and always took good care of us. Since day one all I remember is you being my Grampa..we chatted awhile back and we had a great conversation about how life has led us in the direction of good! My fondest memory, you and my Aunty Pearl ripping up the piano on Christmas and singing and dancing. We all bonded both sides of the family. Myself, my wife Courtney and my two sons Nathaniel and Adam give our deepest condolences to the Stockhausen family and all Davids friends. I sadly will miss your funeral as my oldest has been invited to play high level baseball down in Ohio! I will be there in heart. Love you Pops, God Bless you always and Rest in Peace. We will see you again. God take care of him.
Cameron and Family
