David Roland Foster, of London, Ontario, courageously went home to be with Jesus, his Saviour and Lord, whom he loved and served with all his heart, on April 28, 2025. He passed away at home surrounded by family after a short illness. David is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Catherine (Field), their son Calvin (Sarah), and their six children – Noah, Nathan, Anna, Daniel, Ezra and James; their daughter Stephanie (Laurence), and their four children – Haven, Tirian, Caeden and Corin; their son Jordan (Julianne), and their three children – Zeke, Xander and Toby.
The oldest of seven siblings, Dave was born in Zambia and spent his formative years in Africa as a missionary kid of Herbert and Eleanor (née Thomas). He returned to Canada, where he met and married Cathy. After graduating from Western University, they moved to Texas, where he completed a Master of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. David and Cathy went on to serve in Durban, South Africa, under AEF/SIM for 30 years before returning to Canada.
David will be remembered for his deep love for all people, and his tender servant heart that blessed so many. It is not possible to name the great number of friends, neighbours, extended family and loved ones who were part of David’s life and close circle. His loss is felt deeply by so many and across many miles, but we are comforted to know he is safe in the arms of the Lord.
Burial has taken place, and a memorial service to remember David’s remarkable life and honour his cherished memory will be held at Summerside Community Church, 1447 Commissioners Rd. E, London, on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. The family will receive visitors starting at 1:00 p.m. and a luncheon will follow the service.
