On Ascension Sunday, May 28, at the ‘too soon’ age of 63 years, Dave went to his eternal rest with the Lord. Our hearts are heavy, but knit together in love. Dave is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Iris; their six children, Kristy (Nelson) Sturge, David (Tina) Kirschner, Jessica (Chris) Gordon, Katharine Kirschner, Patty (Keegan) Thomas, and Rebecca (John) Vizza. He also leaves sixteen little bits of the light that shone in his eyes, in his sixteen grandchildren, Hailey, Keegan, Joshua, Kaylyn, Eliana, Nadya, David Samuel, Jonathan, Benjamin, Jack, William, Audrey, David Tanner, Gracelyn, Joanna and Katharine. Dave is also survived by his sister, Donna; and brothers, Rick & Terry. Dave is predeceased by his parents, David Charles Kirschner and Rita Molnar. Dave was a man who walked with great faith, integrity, kindness, a sharp wit, and humility. He was born and raised in Peterborough, ON, and moved out west where he finally settled in Fort McMurray. Dave was an active member of the community that he loved for 35 years before relocating to Edmonton in 2013. Dave called Touchmark home after being diagnosed with the rare neurological disease Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA). He continued to live a fulfilling life thanks to the wonderful care of the Touchmark staff, and the daily visits from family. Many will fondly remember Dave and his legacy will live on. Funeral Mass Friday, June 2, at 10:00 a.m. at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 18407 - 60 Avenue, Edmonton with interment to follow at 2:00 p.m. at the Sandhills Cemetery near Egremont. In lieu of other tributes, donations may be made to the Golden Years Society improving the quality of life for seniors in Fort McMurray. Eternal Memories
