It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Taylor at the age of 69. After several cardiac events in recent years, David passed away at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa on December 29, 2022. Predeceased by his mother Alice Taylor (nee Barkwell). He is survived by his father George Taylor (Lois), and his siblings Beverley Foubert (nee Taylor), Barry Taylor, John Taylor (Susan), and Nancy Distad (nee Taylor) (Hardee). Additionally, he is survived by his nieces and nephews Tracy McKenna (nee Foubert), Julie Stevens (nee Foubert) , Cher Taylor, Kim Taylor, Mike Taylor, and Sam Taylor, as well as his friends and numerous extended family members.
David was truly one of a kind, he was quick to smile, with a generous heart and a wicked sense of humor. He was a talented artist, creating beautiful works of art both with his hands or with his computer. Music was one of his many passions, particularly classic rock, he could often be found listening to music or with a guitar in his hands, whether at a family gathering, or with his band buddies in his basement. Family gatherings were always filled with happiness and the sound of the classics he would play. In his spare time, David also loved to play golf, and was an avid fisherman, often taking trips with friends and family to partake in his favorite activities.
Most notably, David was a gentle and loving soul who was liked and respected by anyone he met, and absolutely adored by his friends and family. We will cherish the memories, the time we had with him, and the mark that he left on all of our lives. He was the best of us and will be sorely missed.
Family and friends are invited to a visitation at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Ave. Ottawa, ON) on Thursday, January 12th, 2023 from 2-4pm.
In lieu of flowers, anyone wishing to make a donation may do so in David’s name to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation.

A friend of mind ask me if, I would like to go jamming at Dave's Place. You would like him. He is very down to earth he said. That evening I felt so comfortable a man that is truly open minded to all things. A man that is a open book. I was going through Google looking for Dave today and remembered his last name. Dave you will always be part of my memory Bank called a brain. With love always bro. You shown me a world of comfort that no other friend or family has given me.
Our sincere condolences to the Taylor Family. We looked forward to Dave's visits to the campground, and the sing a longs by the fire. I also enjoyed the many late night poker games at his place . Your easy going nature, and genuine kindness will be missed.
