Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryH. DAVID WELLARD
David, beloved husband of Susan, passed away peacefully at the North Island Hospital, Comox Valley.
He was predeceased by his sister, Vera, and his brothers-in-law Gerry and David. He is survived by his wife, Susan, sisters-in-law Sally (Tom) and Deborah, brother-in-law, Mathieu, special niece Deb (Roy) and many nieces and nephews.
In his own words "I've had a good life." He was intelligent, well educated, a teacher and a historian. He loved boats, skiing, travel, the French Language, books, politics, music, wine and chocolate. He was an honourable man, a true and loyal friend and the kindest, most loving husband imaginable.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul's College in Winnipeg or a charity of your choice.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at the hospital who provided kind, compassionate care in his final hours.
Cremation has taken place and the Funeral Mass will be held at Christ the King Catholic Church at 11:00 a.m., December 10, 2024.
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary……. Isaiah 40:31

Susan, I will always remember Dave as a reserved and knowledgeable person whose life changed when he met you- his happiness when you found each other was something he shared with us all. I am glad you will have so many happy memories to hold you until you meet again. Shirley Adam - Posted by: Shirley Adam (School Colleague and Friend) on: Dec 10, 2024

I first met Mr. Wellard in September 1970 at St. John's Ravenscourt School, where I was a boarder. It was my first year in boarding school and I was very homesick. Mr. Wellard was very kind and understanding and he helped me ease into my new surroundings. He introduced cross-country skiing to SJR and he helped grow the sport in Manitoba. He was a very organized history teacher, who encouraged his students to take careful notes and to read and write book reports. These were always carefully and precisely reviewed and graded. He cared about his students and he wanted to prepare us for our future endeavours. A true gentleman. - Posted by: Roland Yves Cantin (Student) on: Dec 08, 2024

Mr. Wellard's leadership and energy was instrumental in starting and growing cross country skiing at S.J.R and throughout Manitoba in the 1970's. I and many others owe him a great deal for introducing us to the sport in our youth. I will remember him when I'm out on the trails this winter - Posted by: Ivan McMorris (Former student ) on: Dec 08, 2024
