It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely death of David “Dave” Escaravage. He left us living one of his passions: exploring the world and forging new friendships.
He was that rare person whose interests knew no bounds, as did his love of all that life had to offer. He was so curious and knowledgeable. While his passing was premature, Dave lived life as he wished - intensely and with the sense of adventure and fun that defined him.
He will be deeply missed by his cherished partner Robyn Weiss, and his beloved children and grandchildren: Emily (Sébastien), Marika (Tiberius), Eric, Noémie, and Céleste. He is survived by his brother Marc, sister Irene (Yves), aunt Yvonne (Len) and many nieces, nephews, friends, as well as his dog Guinness with whom he shared an incomparable bond. We will all miss his boundless energy and infectious laughter.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that people remember David by helping out a friend, neighbour, or stranger. Donations can also be made to Canadian Blood Services.
A celebration of Dave’s great life will be held on Friday, February 10, 2023. Please RSVP here.
In the meantime, we invite you to post anything you are moved to share in the comments below.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Dave’s untimely passing. As a member of the Orléans Tennis Club, I had the opportunity to play recreational doubles with Dave over the years. He had a great passion for the game and always enjoyed socializing and joking with us all. I will miss his winning smile and his joie de vivre.
Joe and Janet

We were shocked and saddened to hear this tragic news. We will definitely miss Dave on the tennis court as well as his conversations off court where his passion for life, intelligence and love for his family were undeniable. Our sincere condolences to his loved ones.

Dave was a good friend of my late husband, Len. Golf was their thing, and they were both fiercely competitive. I was shocked to hear of his passing, he lived life to the fullest. I imagine Dave and Len playing a heavenly round of golf, and then driving off in a Porsche, and I smile. Dave is inspiring me to live life to the fullest.
The Hyde family sends our deepest condolences, with love, from Claudia, Phil, Caroline, and Audrey.

Désolé d’apprendre cette triste nouvelle pour un homme si plein d’énergie! J’ai eu la chance de ´closer’ dans les années 80 une couple de grandes transactions clients avec Dave pour le groupe CGI… son enthousiasme était contagieux and there was never a mountain high enough for him…. Repose en paix Dave
