It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely death of David “Dave” Escaravage. He left us living one of his passions: exploring the world and forging new friendships.
He was that rare person whose interests knew no bounds, as did his love of all that life had to offer. He was so curious and knowledgeable. While his passing was premature, Dave lived life as he wished - intensely and with the sense of adventure and fun that defined him.
He will be deeply missed by his cherished partner Robyn Weiss, and his beloved children and grandchildren: Emily (Sébastien), Marika (Tiberius), Eric, Noémie, and Céleste. He is survived by his brother Marc, sister Irene (Yves), aunt Yvonne (Len) and many nieces, nephews, friends, as well as his dog Guinness with whom he shared an incomparable bond. We will all miss his boundless energy and infectious laughter.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that people remember David by helping out a friend, neighbour, or stranger. Donations can also be made to Canadian Blood Services.
A celebration of Dave’s great life will be held on Friday, February 10, 2023. Please RSVP here.
In the meantime, we invite you to post anything you are moved to share in the comments below.

A sad day for me, like for all those he surrounded himself with. I have had the pleasure of knowing him all through highschool where we developped camaraderie and friendly competition. I had slightly better grades but he always laughed at me because he spent half my study time. When I told him I was going to become an Actuary, he laughed even more saying he was going to be the boss of 1000 actuaries. So the years separated us only to reconnect in our early sixties. We compared notes and I found out he pretty much carried his plan to execution with a hugely succesful management consulting career, allowing him to retire at 43 and travelling the world thereafter. In the short 3 years we reconnected, he inspired my life in more ways than one, be it in learning investments, watching my diet, playing tennis, travelling and understanding the unsung aspects of life. Dave also positively impacted and inspired close members of my family. His passing is untimely indeed but then again, I'm sure God will have other plans for Him in Heaven, continuing his lovespreading until eternity. My condolences to all his family, as he will be dearly missed.

Dave will be missed. Such an intelligent and friendly person. He lived in our condo building and we chatted occasionally.
My thoughts are with his family and Robyn.

David was a link for family who fell out of touch. He will be missed.
Dave was a great friend, and a mountain of enthusiasm, energy and compassion. We will miss him dearly; He was taken too soon. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to all his family.
