David Mark Lawrie passed away at Royal Columbian Hospital on Saturday, December 13th at the age of 50. He was born on August 26th, 1964 in Toronto, Ontario. He is the son of Robert and the late Sandra. He is also survived by his three brothers, Shawn, Darren and Jamie, and their wives, Julie and Kaeko, three nieces, Elina, Micaela and Carly, three nephews, Isao, Adrian and Ryan, David's two dogs, Cookie and Biskit, and other loving family members.

David was a talented woodworker and craftsman, spending the majority of his career with the good folks at Lush Cosmetic's Shaughnessy Woodshop. He loved to read, draw and cheer for his two conflicting home teams, the Canucks and the Leafs.

David will be remembered for always being the first to lend a helping hand, his incredibly kind and loving heart, and his belief that anything that was good enough for humans was good enough for his dogs.

The family and friends of David are invited to attend his visitation and Celebration of Life on Thursday, December 18th at Columbia-Bowell Funeral Chapel (219 Sixth St., New Westminster, BC) from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.
