March 23, 1957 – July 23, 2026 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Hand. 

After a brief illness David is survived by his partner Dianne, son Sean, brother Ken, half-sister Michelle. Predeceased by his mother Ann, brother Darrell, and sister Darlene. 

David enjoyed camping, fishing, hiking, and in later years metal detecting. David was smart, kind, and generous, with a wicked sense of humor. David enjoyed taking up an old house and making it beautiful again. David will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved him. We will always keep him in our hearts and memories. Be at peace my love. 

No service by request. 

You may offer a message of condolence at Merritt Funeral Chapel for the Hand family.
