With broken hearts we announce the passing of David Wayne Enright, surrounded by his family after a short battle with cancer at Matthews House Hospice on April 28th, 2026.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Barbara; his children, Rebecca Wood (Ken Wood) and Jennifer Enright (Darryl Henn); and his granddaughter Arya, who will always remember her Papa for his bubble eggs, his art classes and his trips on the boat. He is also survived by his brothers Charles (and Lou) and Pat (and Sue) and his many nieces and nephews. Also leaving behind his best friend Darryl (and Donna) Riggin and his puppy Riley who will miss him very much.
A man of steady hands and a constant heart, he was the quiet foundation our family was built upon. An avid outdoorsman, Dave found joy in fishing, hiking, hunting and exploring the beauty of nature. He found peace in the woods and out on the water, believing that a day spent in nature was never a day wasted. His water colours always tried to capture the beauty in the landscape and trees. Woodworking was also a passion that he shared with his daughter. They were always creating new pieces to make and sell. His legacy lives on in the values his instilled in his daughters and those around him.
Dave’s adventurous spirit and boundless enthusiasm will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. A celebration of life will be held for close friends and family at Kingsmere Retirement Home, 4649 Adjala Tecumseth Townline, Alliston, ON L9R 0C4, in the Clubhouse on Saturday June 27th from 1:00-4:00pm.
