Uncle Dave, I have tears in my eyes as I write these words as I still cannot not believe you have left us. I have some of the best childhood memories of staying over at yours and aunty Constance house during the school holidays or on weekends. Whenever I would see you, you would always make me feel so welcome, greet me with a huge smile on your face and say Davina!! your smile was contagious and could light up a whole room. I remember always enjoying being around you and aunty you were both always so kind and caring and always put others before yourselves. Sandra and I are closer in age and I remember as teenagers we would always plan to go out somewhere, but just before we would leave the house you would always call us to come and sit down with you in the living room and would proceed to ask us questions about school and tell us these long interesting and funny stories about life which would end up delaying us from going out anywhere. You had such a funny way of indirectly letting us know you’d prefer if we just stay at home which Sandra and I would always laugh about. I was shocked and heartbroken when I got the news you had left us as I came to visit you in hospital with my mum (Aunty Love) and my brother Elvin and I was positive and praying you would pull through. I know you were not ready to leave us yet, you were a family man and loved your wife, kids and grandchildren so much. We share the same birthday and I often refer to you as ‘My Birthday Buddy’ I remember we spoke on the phone and wished each other happy birthday last year. Words cannot express the heartbreak, pain and impact of your loss. You will be greatly missed by so many people. My condolences, love, healing and prayers go out to Aunty Constance, Lloyd,Lesley, Sandra, your grandchildren and family members who I know will miss you so much but will celebrate you and ensure your memory will live on. Heaven has gained an angel. Rest well uncle I will never forget you. 🙏🏾 Davina.
