David "Dave" Albert Kruger

Dave passed away, peacefully, surrounded by his loving partner of 34 years, Marg Bowes, and his beloved siblings, Denis (Margaret), Diane Berezowski (John) and Pauline Billington (George) on Tuesday, May 5th, 2026 in his 78th year. Dave will be sadly missed by his many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, close friends, extended family and golfing buddies. Dave is pre-deceased by his parents Albert and Rita Kruger, infant sister Linda, brother Paul, nephew Nathan Kruger, and his niece and goddaughter Angie Krueger, with whom he shared a very special connection.

Dave was born on November 12, 1948 in Pembroke, where he spent his childhood growing up across the street from Holy Name School. Dave was known for the “adventures” he had in his youth, especially the ones with his brother, Denis. He modeled very well how to avoid getting in trouble/getting caught for his 5 younger siblings! He loved playing hockey at the outdoor rink, which led to his later love of golf. After High School, Dave moved to Sudbury and spent several years working in the mines before training to become a butcher. He spent the majority of his adult years working as a lead butcher for A&P, which is where he met his love, Marg. When not at work, Dave could be found on the golf course, which was his other love. He was known for his wit, his sense of humour, his love of dogs, his generosity, his gift of the gab and his contagious laugh.

As per Dave’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will be no visitation or service. In memory of Dave, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Deep River Hospital.

“Rest peacefully on heaven’s fairway. Forever in our hearts you will stay.”
