It is with immeasurable grief that the family of David Farrington announces his unexpected passing. Born in 1989, David left this world far too soon in 2025, leaving behind a depth of sorrow that words can scarcely express. His passing was sudden and profoundly shocking, especially for those who knew him as a physically strong, vibrant, and deeply caring young man.
David was the cherished son of Wendy and loving brother to Chris. Gentle in nature, kind in spirit, and compassionate at his core, David carried a softness that resonated deeply with everyone fortunate enough to know him. His presence was calming, his heart genuine, and his appreciation for the beauty of the natural world reflected a soul that saw life with uncommon clarity and grace. Many who crossed paths with him remember his quiet strength, his empathy, and the lasting imprint he left on their lives.
David loved nature, finding peace and connection in the world around him. This tenderness of spirit shaped him into someone who offered love easily and made others feel seen, valued, and supported. His loss has created a void that family and friends will feel forever, yet his memory will continue to shine in the countless ways he touched lives.
To honor David’s life, his mother Wendy, his brother Chris, and close loved ones will gather at one of his most cherished places—the Notre Dame Cathedral on Sussex Street in Ottawa. This sacred space held deep meaning for David, and spending time there is a way for his family to feel close to him once more. Those who wish to join in remembering and celebrating David’s life are warmly welcome.
In this time of overwhelming grief, David will be remembered for the beauty he brought into the world—through his kindness, his compassion, and the gentle way he moved through life. Though he is gone far too soon, the love he shared will forever remain alive in the hearts of those who knew him.
May his soul rest in peace, forever embraced by the love of his family and the calmness of the nature he adored.
