David Jean Joseph Royer (Dave)
July 12, 1951 – September 16, 2020
It is with great sadness that the family of David Jean Joseph Royer announce his sudden passing at the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus, Wednesday, September 16, 2020, at the age of 69 years.
Dave will be missed greatly by his wife Margo (née Bingley), children Danielle Royer (David Frison), Liane Royer Moore (Matthew Moore), Caitlyn Royer (John McCarthy), grandchildren Emma and Connor Frison-Royer, Austin and Hudson Moore, mother Yolanda Royer (Nelson Ouellet), brother Gary Royer (Sharon Budnick) as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by his father Rosaire Royer.
A deck builder extraordinaire, some of Dave’s best work will live on at Hamilton’s Island. An intuitive and inspired gardener, his annual harvest was followed by the smells and sounds of extensive canning in the fall. He will be fondly remembered for his lovingly prepared meals and homemade treats for Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings. Well-read and politically engaged with a sharp wit and sense of humour, Dave was always up for a spirited exchange of ideas and opinions. Quiet time was relaxing with a good ebook or baseball game with Bella the pup always close by.
In lieu of a memorial service, the family asks that all who wish to participate make a donation to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada in Dave’s memory.
