David Grant CROWELL

David Grant Crowell October 16, 1962 - October 18, 2005 Funeral arrangements by Lindsay's Windsor Funeral Home * CROWELL, David Grant - 43, Wolfville, Kings Co., formerly of Ste. Croix, Hants Co., passed away on his birthday, October 16, 2005, in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, with his family by his side. Born in Halifax, Halifax Co., he was the son of the late Walter Frederick Crowell and June Elizabeth (Dunbar) Crowell. Upon leaving Hants West Rural High, David went on to pursue his education at Dartmouth Vocational School for a two year culinary arts program which landed him a few cooking positions until he secured his place as a civilian cook in the military, working at Camp Aldershot, Centreville, for the past 20 years, where David's presence impacted thousands of people that passed through the doors of Aldershot. David developed a family bond with his fellow co-workers as their lives were forever changed as they considered David to be a true humanitarian. The family have always said that David made sacrifices for his own family and especially that of his children as their life experiences are vast as David's knowledge of the world was an open playground for them to learn. Considered eccentric, David was always one for true lasting friendship and chose to surround his life with the love and strength of his family as we considered his strength to be the pillar of ours. David is survived by his loving wife, Joan (Crowell), and their children, Jane and Grant; brothers, Timothy (Carla Scholten) Crowell, Ste. Croix; Michael (Ruth Partridge) Crowell, and their children, Kaitlyn, Margaret, and Lauren, Dartmouth; Larry (Donna Ward) Crowell, and their children, Nathan and Jonathan, Oakfield; Paul (Patti) Crowell, and their children, Grayson and Reagan, Moncton, N.B.; twins, Alex (Jyl), Moncton, N.B.; Anne (Allen Burbidge), Delaps Cove; father and mother-in-law, Bob (Audrey) Crowell, Union Corner; sister-in-law, Pam (Ewan) Laffin, and daughter, Sophia, Lawrence Road. David was predeceased by his parents, Walter and June (Dunbar) Crowell; maternal grandparents, Seymour and Margaret (Ross) Dunbar; paternal grandparents, Percy and Dorothy (Carey) Crowell. Cremation has taken place. No visitation by request. A celebration of David's life will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, October 22, in Lindsay's Windsor Funeral Home, 194 King St., Rev.
