It is with great sadness that the family of David Gage announces his passing on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, at the age of 74 years.
David was larger than life in both stature and personality. He was born in Weybridge, England but grew up in Bothwell, Ont. He spent most of his adult life in Brantford, Ont. where he sold cars at Shoots Hyundai and Brantford Nissan. He was also a successful owner and trainer of Standardbred racehorses.
David enjoyed sharing a meal and telling remarkable stories among friends and family. He loved playing pool and cards. He brought a sense of excitement with him wherever he went. He was a supporter of the Lions Club and Legion branches. He will be missed by his family and his many friends.
David will be lovingly remembered by his children Brent and Kim (Glenn). David will also be fondly remembered by his five grandchildren; Donovan, Grace, Gabriel, Cassandra and Dannika, by his sister Doreen and by his brothers Donald (Linda) and Darren (Carrie), and by his many nieces and nephews. David is predeceased by his partner Gail Read, his parents George and Gladys and his brother Douglas.
For those wishing to donate in David's honour, please do so to the Victorian Order of Nurses or to a charity of your choice. A private family funeral service will be held.
Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of David Gage.
