David “DD” Waugh of Rockyview, AB, passed away on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at the age of 61 years.

David was born in Whanganui, New Zealand, on February 14, 1963. He immigrated to Canada from New Zealand in 1976.

Dave met Romy in 2004, and they were married on July 19, 2008, in Coos Bay, Oregon, USA, surrounded by their 'VROC' friends and family.

One of his favourite things was his passion for motorcycles and doing his chores, which he learned from Pop.

He will be most remembered for his breakfasts and hot sauce, but watch out for the ring of fire. Dave "Braai Master" Waugh even built his own BBQ shack where he spent many hours cooking for his friends and family.

Besides his loving wife, Romy, and his stepmother, Aileen, Dave is survived by his son, William (Ali), and his daughters, Sarah, Jasmyn (Ryan), and Kymberli (Blair); seven grandchildren, Emily, Carlie, Abbey, McKenna, Lillila, Daphne, and Beckett.

Dave is also survived by his brothers, Peter (Jeanette), Ross (Luz), Andrew (Lori Ann), his sister Jill (Grant), and his nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
