Passed away suddenly at home in Markham, Ontario on Tuesday, June 25, 2019. Beloved son of Helen and the late Richard (Dick) Kush. Dear brother to Rick (Laura) and Rob (Liz). David will be affectionately remembered by his nieces (Amelia, Caitlyn and Amy) and his nephew (Matthew). His love and care for his family and especially for his mother will always be cherished. David was an accomplished National Service Manager in the restaurant and food equipment industry, an astute political scientist and, as can be seen in the photo, one hell of a sportsman. His lightning wit and encyclopedic memory will be greatly missed as well as his story-telling ability, whether gathered around the kitchen table or a campfire. All the great memories shared on family vacations as well as cottage trips on Lake Brereton, Lakefield and at Camp Dorset will not be forgotten. Farewell dear brother. Farewell dear son. Visitation will be held on Sunday, July 7, 2019 from 2pm to 5pm at the Simple Alternative in Pickering (1057 Brock Road, just south of Highway 401 on the east side). A memorial service will be held at a later date this fall.
