ANDERSON, David “Dave”

It is with heavy hearts and immense sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Anderson at the age of 63. Dave passed away surrounded by loved ones after an admirable and courageous nearly five-year battle with cancer.

Dave leaves behind his loving daughters Kylie (Tyler), Lindsey (Spencer), Breanna (Kyle), and Karalee; as well as his adoring grandchildren Lane, Theodore, Miles, Rooney, and Sonny. He is also survived by brothers Ray (Deb) and Doug (Lorraine); and sisters Betty (Bob) and Debbie (Brian). He was predeceased by his parents Lewis and June; and brothers Ron and Tracy.

Dave’s thoughtful, caring nature served him well over a forty-year career as a Funeral Director. Starting in 1980, Dave spent twenty years at Westlock Funeral Home in Alberta, eventually he relocated to Kelowna, BC and became a valued team member of Springfield Funeral Home.

Dave was an accomplished athlete, completing multiple Ironman Triathlons and numerous other competitions as well. He enjoyed cycling with a close group of friends up until this past fall. Dave had a great sense of humour, an even better sense of style, and will be best remembered for his deep love of his daughters and grandchildren.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
