Condolences
January 11, 2024
Dear Maura, I came upon this notice just today and feel compelled to tell you how truly sorry Kurt and I are to learn of Dave’s passing. He was so energetic, enthusiastic, kind and generous with his time. I think of him often when shifting gears on my automatic crv which he said would save the brakes. Our adult ‘kids’ still remember him as SuperDave from his Banff Centre days.
He certainly made a huge impact on our lives and we will think of him affectionately, always.
Sincerely, Heather & Kurt, Banff
I knew David only briefly, singing in EnChor chamber choir in 2017-2018, and yet I find myself here on Christmas Eve thinking of him. He was such a kind soul. Always curious, asking questions, trying to make people comfortable. I'm a bit shy and awkward but David always made me feel welcome. I got married in 2018, and he attended our small church service (prior to the larger 'white wedding') where we signed the papers and exchanged vows. He shared with me that his wedding song would have been one called All The Way, by Kat Edmundson. I have loved that song since he showed it to me and play it often. I included it on our wedding dance playlist too. I moved away from Calgary in 2019 and I think our wedding was the last time I saw him. I can't believe he's gone. I can't believe this kind man I shared maybe 10 conversations with could have affected me so deeply I'm crying about it on Christmas Eve. But Dave, I miss you. I'm so sorry. I wish this hadn't happened. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for the song. You are so loved. To his family - sending all the love I have. He was amazing. Merry Christmas, Dave and family... All my love.
Maura,
I was shocked to hear about David's passing. So sorry for your loss. Even though your sorrow is great now, I pray that you will find comfort and peace in the days ahead.
Please take care, and stay safe.

We were incredibly shocked and saddened to hear of Dave’s passing. Greg and I were fortunate to have had the privilege of getting to know Dave as our neighbour when he and Maura lived in Cambrian Heights. He was such a warm and friendly person, he genuinely cared about the people he met! Maura, please accept our deepest sympathies.
Greg and Rhonda
Maura,
I am so sorry to learn of Dave's unexpected passing. Thinking of you at this most difficult time. I hope your travels and adventures together will provide memories to comfort you.
Sending a big hug,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. He was a great man who will be dearly missed, may his soul rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time.
It broke my heart to hear the sudden passing of our dear friend Dave Bloxham. Dave and I had been friends for over 30 years. Our family had such great memories of Dave. Like spending a great weekend with him in Montreal at the GP for his 50th birthday. In auto racing he was instrumental in our GT1 racing Championship win. Working tirelessly to help fix my often-broken car. His love for bicycles one of his many passions. He once gave my 5 year old a bike he found. After some fixing up that bike it was loved and still remembered as the best bike ever decades later.
This speaks to who our great friend was, a great person who helped everyone and asked for nothing in return. Maura our hearts like yours are broken we are here to support you and cherish the memories we had together.
Dave will join the greatest choir of all the choir of angels in which he will sing load and beautifully in our hearts forever. Rest In Peace our dearest friend.
Roger Ebanks and family.
Dear Maura, were so shocked and saddened to hear of Dave's passing. As the first neighbours we met when we moved next door, Dave and Maura were so welcoming and we quickly became friends. Dave and I realized we had a lot of common interests; anything automotive related, music, audio equipment, biking and our shared love of animals, especially cats, to name a few. He was always eager to lend a hand when needed.
We have many fond memories of walks and bike rides on Nose Hill, dinners at our favourite restaurants around town, and backyard gatherings at our respective homes.
Most recently, I feel very fortunate to have assisted in Dave and Maura's new home renovations this spring where Dave and I shared friendly banter and many laughs as we worked through the project.
Thank you Dave for your sincere and selfless friendship, you will be missed.
Edward Pallister & Tammy Mayer.
Wow, where to start.
My heart is so full of love, tears and memories. I am so very sorry for your unbelievable loss, Maura. Love you so much. All of this is taking time to sink in, but whenever I see a "cool car" I think of Dave, and when I hear choral music I think of him too. I'll miss his laugh and his sense of humour and ability to make peace in any situation. I wish I had more pictures. I wish, like all of us do, that we had more time.
Sebai and the kids, Boaz, Zaccai and little Galilee send their love. We loved seeing you guys at your house two summers ago.
Sending love, prayers and hugs,
Beverly
Dave was probably one the sweetest, most kind human beings I have known. He was always ready to offer a hand. Perpetually joyful and happy! Jessie and I were blessed to have come across his path. My condolences and love to Maura.
