1957 ~ 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a great man, son, husband, father and friend on July 12, 2015 at the age of 58 years.
Dave was born on June 2, 1957 in Formby, Lancaster UK to Joan and Charles Blayden. Dave had a great love for life and experiencing new things. He loved to spend time with his family, from boating to the simple things in life, especially when he beat his daughter at chess. He loved the outdoors, building things, and was a handyman, working on these projects with his wife and daughter. He loved working and running his business Kildonan Auto and Truck Parts. Dave was also known as a prankster with a good sense of humour. He also loved his dogs.
He was predeceased by his father Charles and brother in-law Jake. He is survived by his wife Deborah, daughter Nicole, mother Joan, siblings Karen (Ed), Chris (Ilene) and Debbie. He also leaves many nieces, nephews and family members in England.
A celebration of Dave’s life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel in Beausejour.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Arthritis Society of Manitoba, #105-386 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 3R6.

Dave was a founding Board Member of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada and someone who always represented Manitoba very well. He had a keen understanding of the role professional auto recyclers can and should take in our society. He was a well respected leader in the auto recycling industry he loved, and will be deeply missed.
