It is with heavy and broken hearts we announce the passing of Dave after a long battle with cancer on December 28, 2019 at the age of 42. He will be forever missed and loved by his wife Colleen (nee Lefrancois) for 21 years. Loving father of Nick (Cassie) and Josh. Adored son of David “Fred” and the late Carol Bratt. Dear brother of Aimee (Bob). Cherished son in law of Paul and Brenda Lefrancois. Dear brother in law of Jean Paul (Maythe) and Michelle (Joe). Fabulous uncle of Shelby, Alyssa, Lucas, Emilien and Genevieve.

Dave was proud member of the U.A. Local 527 and was a steamfitter/welder. He took great pride in helping others in his community as well as friends and family. Dave always put others before himself regardless of his illness. He loved to fish with his wife and family, snowmobile and dirt bike along with many other activities. A special “Thank You” to the WRH Ouellette Campus ER Doctor, Dr. Ruisi, Dr. Aoun and the nurses and staff on the 7th floor.
