David Sebastian

March 5, 1932 – December 12, 2024

David “Dave” Sebastian passed away on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at the Ajax-Pickering Hospital, just three months shy of his 93rd birthday. He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife Sue, as well as his family and friends. Dave was known for his gracious, generous, and kind nature, and he lived as a faithful servant of God.

Dave loved tending to his vegetable garden every year, growing tomatoes, hot peppers, lettuce, and Chinese melons—both bitter and winter varieties. He found immense joy in sharing the fruits of his labor with his neighbors. His faith was central to his life, with his mornings often beginning with a view of the large crucifix and a framed photo of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the wall across from his bed.

Visitation for Dave will be held at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax, Ontario, on Friday, December 20, 2024, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church, 1001 Ravenscroft Road, Ajax, Ontario, on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Christ the King Catholic Cemetery, 7770 Steeles Avenue East, Markham, Ontario.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the ‘Shepherd’s Trust’ for retired priests at the Archdiocese of Toronto would be greatly appreciated. A Book of Condolence may be signed at www.mceachnie-funeral.ca.
