<div itemprop="description">David Malcolm King <br />1962 &ndash; 2014 <br />Death&hellip;in its place. <br />Husband, brother, uncle, friend. Engineer, renovator, financial wizard, horseman, punmaster. David passed away in his home as a result of an epileptic seizure on July 2, 2014. He was a proud Englishman from Halifax Yorkshire England and son of the late Gerald and Joan King. <br />He will be greatly missed by his wife and best friend of 34 years, Trish (Waddell), Sisters Diane (Devine) of St. Andrews, NB, Judith (Dunstan) of Quispamsis, NB and twin brother Andrew of Montreal, PQ, their spouses, and many loved nieces and nephews. <br />David&rsquo;s remains have been donated to the QEII Hospital, Neurology Dept. in Halifax in support of their research into epilepsy. <br />The family wishes to thank all the friends who have supported David and Trish over the years and especially the last five during which they were embarking on the challenge of resolving David&rsquo;s epilepsy. Life with a disability is never easy but we know that the presence of the shadow of Death has a purpose and that is to sharpen the experience of Life making everyday experienced precious. <br />A special thank you to: Dr. Robert Marc Sadler, Epilepsy Specialist at the QEII; Bev Nelson, Trish&rsquo;s sister and funeral designer with the Canadian Foundation for Death Management, Fairhaven Funeral Home and Silver Rose Florists for your execution of the design, and the RCMP for their kindness and sharing of their 90%, 10% philosophy of society that was of particular aid during the difficult process of saying goodbye to David. <br />A private family celebration has taken place and internment will take place at a future date. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the David Malcolm King Memorial Bursary that has been established at UNBSJ in David&rsquo;s memory. David was a graduate of Acadia University as well as UNSJ and UNB Fredericton. UNBSJ held a special place in his heart as it was the institution that allowed him to tackle an engineering education for the second time and where his sister Judith is a professor in business administration. David did not believe in grief. Queen Elizabeth had expressed that &ldquo;Grief was the price you pay for Love&rdquo; after the 9/11 attacks but David had learned that Death was not to be feared. If care about someone in this life knowing the shadow of Death covers us all, we can &ldquo;stay calm and carry on&rdquo;, grieve not, but celebrate their unique contribution to this life on Earth. <br /></div>
