I was a young neighbour of Dave and Dede many years ago when we lived in Centreville. Spent many an hour shooting our guns at targets and fishing. He helped mold me into the outdoorsman I am today and have fond memories of his advice. RIP Dave and my condolences to Dede and his family and friends.

Dear Dede: Bless your heart at the passing of David. He was jolly, happy and good to family and friends around him.

Sincere condolences Dede to you and your family. May God bless you and comfort you in the difficult days ahead.

Very sorry to read of David’s passing wishing you Dede to be cradled in the healing hands of time. May God be good to him. Deborah Park, Allan Park(Jane MacDonald) Marianne (David) Ruffin

Dear Dede Condolences with the loss of that wonderful man of yours. I had the privilege to get to know him a little bit while taking care of him during his treatments. He loved his wife, life, people, conversation, laughter, food, plants, volunteering and so many things. He did not let his vision limit who he was or what he could do. I am so sorry to read that he is now with you in spirit only. Hugs

Words cannot express my gratitude for being blessed with the best extra Dad in the world. I cannot remember a time when David wasn’t there to encourage me and be so proud of me, and I am going to miss him always. His hugs were a shelter in any storm and made even the worst times better, I will miss sinking into those hugs and receiving his unconditional love in times good and bad. Thank you, David, from the bottom of my heart. I will keep my promise, so rest easy until I see you again.

Into your hands, O merciful Saviour, we commend to you David William Barker. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light.
Amen.

Dede, you have a lifetime of memories to cherish and the amazing strength to carry on; count on those who love you and want to be there for you. Let your love community be a blessing as we share in your loss and grief. You are not alone <3
