We Remember
HAGUE, David Roy
—
David passed away November 12, 2021, at the Central Okanagan Hospice House. He was born November 23, 1955, to Roy & Betty Hague in Vancouver. He is survived by his wife Nina; son Michael (Lisa); his father Roy; brothers Gord (Cindy) and Mike (Marcella); many nephews & nieces; and most importantly his two granddaughters Henley and Emma. David was predeceased by his mother Betty.
David grew up in Vancouver. He was owner/operator of an Advanced Cab and then in June 1991, he started a career as a transit operator until retirement in February 2017. Retirement beckoned the move to Kelowna.
David and Nina were known for their open home and many special gatherings. David enjoyed being the host, often the appetizers were his own smoked meats and he was the master of the bbq always grilling up the entree. Many fun travels were had with family and friends. Trips to Nashville, Mexico, Hawaii, and Norway were highlights of the last few years. House boating, winery adventures, and many other shenanigans were regular occurrences.
There will be a private family gathering for David held in the Spring.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jennifer Verhelst, the community palliative team and the staff of Willow Park Shoppers Pharmacy.

When I was growing up my parents, Fred (called Scotty due to his accent) and Jeannie Blackie always spoke very highly of the Hauges, Robinsons, MaGuires, Hewitts and other members of the taxi driver families. My Dad was an owner/operator of a Yellow Cab for years and after he got too sick for full time he sold the Yellow and went on to work for #9 at Advance Cabs. The Cab family was almost as important as our blood family and the lessons I learned about caring for one and another have never been forgotten. R.I.P. David, I know I was just a little girl the last time I saw you but I know my parents never forgot you or your family, and how welcome your family made ours feel. Condolances to all, the world just got a little emptier. 💙
I will never forget traveling and running into Nina and David unexpectantly in the airport while waiting for a flight. I had never really met David although I had worked with Nina for many years. They turned what would have been a long wait into a blink of an eye. David’s story telling and humor initiated discussions and laughter I will never forget. Sending best wishes and hugs to you Nina and to the whole family. A wonderful man lost too soon. Melanie Smith
Nina, I was so saddened hearing of David’s passing, it literally took my breath away. The love you two share is the envy of many and I always remember your hospitality and the gatherings you both had. Nina I am so sorry and my heart aches for you. Xoxo
