Obituary of DAVID CHARLES SANDERSON

DAVID CHARLES SANDERSON David Charles Sanderson, aged 50, tragically died on Wednesday, June 22, 2016. He was born in Ashern, MB on October 12, 1965. He is loved and missed by his surviving sisters Rosemary and Anita. David was a hardworking man who had a gift of telling stories and making everyone around him laugh. He loved living in the North End where he had many friends. Anyone who knew David knew they had a friend who was always willing to help. Although David was not a rich man he knew how to be resourceful and stretch a dollar to make ends meet. As a child he loved reading Conan magazines and still enjoyed watching Star Trek. He regretted never graduating from high school but one would never know as he was a champ at doing the hardest crossword puzzles. He loved his favorite cat Maximus (Max) and he spoiled him relentlessly. David always bragged about his nephews Joseph, Gabriel Jr., Isaac, Kyle, Virgil, Rocky and late Alex, to all his friends. He loved his only favorite Uncle Skip and they would have long conversations on the phone with David always telling him jokes. He was predeceased by grandparents Donald and Mary; parents Edward, Theresa, brothers Fred, Norman and baby sister Audrey (Audi) and his only son, Cyrus. David will be forever loved and missed by his two surviving sisters, Uncle Skip and Aunty Susan, nephews, niece, numerous cousins and many friends. The family would like to thank all those who have helped during this difficult time and thank Cropo Funeral Chapel. A celebration of David's life will be held on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 45 Dalhousie Drive. Refreshments to follow. Cremation has taken place and a private service will be held at O Chi Chak Ko Sipi First Nation at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Siloam Mission in his memory. "You truly were the last man standing"
