It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. David Andrew Bjarnason, on Sunday, July 24, 2022, at the Innisfail Health Care Centre at the age of 86 years. Dave was born in Red Deer, Alberta. He married Edna Leighton on Friday, July 5, 1957, and together they raised five daughters. As a young man he spent his time pouring cement sidewalks along the main streets of Innisfail, Alberta. Later in life he chose to follow the open road hauling cattle and general freight. He spent the last 23 years of his career hauling farm equipment for Greenline Equipment in Olds, Alberta. This is where he developed an interest in restoring antique tractors. Dave and Edna both shared this passion and would often be seen at tractor pulls, shows and competitions all around Alberta. He was always willing to share his knowledge and experience about trucking or tractors and liked telling a good joke. Dave loved to entertain with his guitar and sang many old songs. Wherever he went he was never short on friends. He always managed to put a smile on faces. Dave was pre-deceased by his wife Edna, daughter Cheryl and baby daughter Wendy. Dave is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Jolene Bjarnason (Grant), Rosalie Paliwoda (Derryll), Loretta Bjarnason, Lois Muddle (Chris). His seventeen grandchildren, Bobbi (Ed), Jamie (Blake), Billy (Donna), David (Jade), Lorissa (Jesse), Larren; Jerilyn, Tyson (Brianne); Jaret, Amanda (Jordi), Aurora, Emily, Spencer (Chloe), Reagan; Ryan; Cort, Kaden (Paige). His fifteen great grandchildren Wyatt, Colby, Ethan, Everett, Bentleigh, Elizabetta, Gracelynn, Kayson, Maycie, Mya, Ellie; Shaylyn (Connor), Cooper, Blake and Kolt and Special friends Marilyn Henderson and Jean Morton. No formal funeral will be held, and his final resting place will be with his family at Tindastoll Cemetery.
