We Remember

DAVISON, Dayle Glenn Edward

February 22, 1935 — October 7, 2020

It is with sad hearts that the family of Dayle Glenn Edward Davison announce his passing on October 7, 2020 at the age of 85 with his family by his side. He leaves to mourn his loving wife Carol; his daughter Collette Davison MacNeil; his sons Corey Davison (Tabatha) and Patrick Davison Kalk (Carmen); his four grandchildren Emily, Aubrey, Carleen, and Kelsey. He will also be dearly remembered by his sisters Shirley Pattyson, Glenda Davison Church, and Kelly Williamson; his brothers Don Davison, Gary Davison,Wayne Bitz, and brother-in-law George Gieni along with many loving nieces. Sadly, he was predeceased by his sister Sharon Gieni and parents Ila and Glen Davison.

In 1961, Dayle joined AA and accomplished 59 years of sobriety. On October 16, 1965, he married Carol, the love of his life; they were just a few days away from celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary. In 1978, he and Carol moved their family across the country from Thunder Bay to Kelowna where they built many more happy memories.

Dayle was a man who loved his family, his work, his food, and his sports. He was well respected in the car business for over 50 years both in Thunder Bay, ON and Kelowna, BC. A dedicated member of the Mission Rotary Club, Dayle received the Paul Harris award.

Dayle’s sense of humour, unselfishness, patience, and charming nature will be forever cherished.

A Celebration of Life will be held to honour Dayle. However, due to the current pandemic restrictions it will be by invitation only. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, www.heartandstroke.ca.

    To Carol, Collette, Corey, and Patrick, so saddened to hear of Dayle’s passing. He fought a courageous and very long battle, with so many challenges. A decades long family friend will be sadly missed. He and Carol have always been an amazing and loving support to our family, and he and my Dad were especially close. Though they both struggled in their final years, I am certain they are now pain and disability free, and whooping it up in heaven!

    Thoughts and prayers with you Carol and family. . We had a Thunder Bay background but did not know each other until both families moved to Kelowna in the 1970’s. We became close friends and fond memories of good times together. Dayle was such a good Man in so many ways!

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.
