ALLEN, Wilton David Allen
April 27, 1959 - August 22, 2025
passed away peacefully at his home in Erin on Friday, August 22, 2025, at the age of 66, surrounded by the love of his family.
He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Evangeline Wilton, and his late father, Robert Wilton. He is also fondly remembered by his siblings, Ruth Wilton and Tim Wilton (Pauline Johnston), as well as his mother- and father-in-law, Marilyn Wells and the late Edward Wells, and by his brothers- and sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in his heart.
Dave loved his career as an Ontario Land Surveyor and was proud to be the owner of Speight, Van Nostrand & Gibson Limited, the oldest surveying company in Ontario. He treasured the lifelong friendships he built throughout his career.
He was also deeply grateful for the many friends, especially those who supported him and his family during the difficult times of his illness.
Dave found joy in curling, woodworking, fishing, camping, sailing, skiing, and “puttering” around his home in Erin. But above all, he loved driving his Camaro on a sunny day with his family by his side.
Dave will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
