EDINGER, David Glenn
April 1956 – April 2022 It is with immense sadness we announce the passing of David Glenn Edinger on Monday, April 4, 2022. He died peacefully surrounded by the love of his family.
David grew up in the unique community of Cora Brown on Sea Island in Richmond, B.C. with his parents Dorothy and Alfred Edinger, and his sister Bev. It was a close-knit community allowing for a carefree childhood where neighbours supported each other and lifelong friendships were forged. David served proudly as a firefighter with the Richmond Fire Department for 35 years. “Dave was the embodiment of what it means to be a firefighter; he was intelligent, dedicated, quick-witted, and funny when the occasion called for it.” He was also a Red Seal carpenter and throughout his life used his skill and knowledge to help those in need. David will be remembered for enriching the life of every person he encountered. He did so with kindness, compassion, and willingness to lend a helping hand at every opportunity. From building homes for communities in need to helping family, friends, and neighbours with the largest or smallest of tasks, Dave truly found joy in serving anyone in need. Dave had a passion for playing, coaching, and watching sports, listening, and sharing his great taste in music, and taking care of numerous family pets. He deeply valued the friendships that he made and most of all he loved spending time with and caring for his family. Dave will be forever remembered with love by his wife and best friend, Fran; their children Brock and Connor; his sister Bev (Ken) and their children Ben and Robyn and their families. Thank you to the many friends who helped us during Dave’s illness; your care is deeply appreciated.
