Burton David

David passed away peacefully at the Kirkwood Hospital in Sudbury on March 24, 2019, at the age of 80 years.

David was the beloved and devoted husband of Donna Ruth Burton, who pre-deceased him on January 27, 2019. He was a proud and loving father of Daryl Burton, Robert (Linda) Johnson, and William Johnson. His generosity and good nature will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Tyler (Dianna), Davin (Janette), and Kirsten (Eric) and his great grandchildren Hannah, Lia, Vera, and Robbie. David was predeceased by siblings Thomas, Ralph, Sheila, Cynthia, Ruth, and Thelma, and is survived by his sister Gertrude and many nieces and nephews. 


David worked at the Ontario Northland Railway for 36 years. At retirement, he and Donna built their dream home on Lake Commanda in Restoule, Ontario. Trained as a machinist, he was a man of many talents. He enjoyed family time, building projects, golf, fishing, dancing, and many winters in Florida with Donna and friends. For many years, he was a drummer with the North Bay Legion Pipes and Drums.

David’s family are greatly appreciative of the support and compassionate care on B1 at NBRHC and at the Kirkwood Hospital. His devotion, kindness, and sense of humour will be missed but will live on in our hearts.  Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or a charity of choice.
