Obituary of DAVID MICHAEL GORAY

DAVID MICHAEL GORAY

June 11, 1967 – November 9, 2023

Peacefully at home in his sleep, after a brave battle with brain cancer, Dave went home to be with the Lord.

Dave is survived by his twin brother Tom (Marsha); brother Dan (Heidi); sisters, Shirley Goray, Susie (Bruce) Shearer, Sandy (Kerry) Sampson; nieces and nephews, Phillip Hakeem; Lisa, David and Thomas Shearer; Caley and Sara Goray; Tyler, Terrence (Ainsley) and Taylor Sampson; his great-niece Laila-Mae and great-nephews, Michael and Casey; many cousins and close friends. He was predeceased by his parents, John and Dorothy; sister, Debbie and nephew, Jordan.

Dave was a loyal and hard-working employee at Winnipeg Transit for over 25 years. In his younger years, he drove a semi-trailer and made numerous trips across Canada and the US.

“Super Dave” as he was known to his close family and friends, was always willing to help when needed and was a jack-of-all-trades.

Dave cared deeply for all animals, especially his two pugs, who he lost earlier this year.

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Riverview, his home care staff who were so kind and compassionate and especially to Tamara, his palliative care nurse and his sister Susie. We couldn’t have done this without you.

To our dear brother, we will miss you. It won’t be the same here without you.

Cremation has taken place.  Respecting Dave's wishes, a private family service is being held.
