May 1st, 1958 - October 22nd, 2024
Passed away peacefully at Margaret Bahen Hospice in Newmarket on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024 at 66 years of age.
Loving husband of Valerie Rew (nee Wilson). Beloved father of Justin, Krystal (Ron), and Shannon (Darryl). Proud grandfather of Kaitlyn, Tyler, Aidan, Gwen and Ryan. Son of the late Don and Joan-Ann Rew. Brother of Bruce, Scott (Kathy) and Mike (Christine). David will be dearly missed by his many nieces and nephews, his step-family (the Lavigne family), and his in-laws (the Wilson family).
David enjoyed a fulfilling career with York Region for over 40 years. In his spare time, he enjoyed the great outdoors, especially fishing, and watching sports, especially baseball and hockey. His greatest pride and joy however was watching his grandchildren grow up; David loved being a grandfather.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the Margaret Bahen Hospice, as well as the cancer care team in Newmarket. They also wish to extend their gratitude to all the friends and family who provided well wishes.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Margaret Bahen Hospice, who cared for David in his final hours.
