August 27, 1933 – October 18, 2024<\/b><\/p>\n
In loving memory ~<\/p>\n
\nWith heavy hearts, we announce the passing of David Clifford Aspeslet, “Dave,” on October 18, 2024, at the age of 91, surrounded by friends and family.<\/p>\n
\nBorn in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan, Dave was shaped by rugged landscapes and tough times. After arriving in Telkwa on a snowy night in 1947, he worked on the Chapman farm before becoming a miner, logger, farmer, and machinist\u2014capable of running or fixing nearly any machine or piece of equipment.<\/p>\n
\nIn 1958, Dave married Bernice Lee, the love of his life, and together they built a family in the Kispiox Valley. His stories were legendary\u2014whether chasing run away horses or daring to drive a Volkswagen Beetle up Thomlinson in the moon light\u2014always told with a twinkle in his eye.<\/p>\n
\nA devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Dave’s greatest joy was his garden and his family. He leaves behind a legacy of grit, hard work, and the love of a good book or puzzle.<\/p>\n
\nDave is survived by his children Marney Wookey and Cindie Aspeslet, grandchildren Wanda Belisle, David Wookey, Lori Tiljoe, Kale Bellingroth, and Justin Aspeslet, and great-grandchildren Brianna, Peyton, Odin, Abigail, Alec, Ryder, Urijah, and Nolan. <\/p>\n
\nHe will be dearly missedby all who knew him.<\/p>\n
\nA Celebration of Life for Dave will be held on Sunday, November 10th, from 2-4 p.m. at the Kispiox Valley Community Hall. Please bring your stories to share.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
