DAVID MARK WESTMACOTT
After a brief illness, David passed away on January 27, 2025 at the age of 76. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 27, 1948.
David was predeceased by his parents, Phyllis and Mark Westmacott. Left to mourn his loss are his wife Rhonda, sons, Mark and Jordan, sisters, Dianne and Carol, nephews, Geoffrey and Todd (Emily) and brother-in-law Grant.
Dave loved his dogs, the former beloved Mindy and current dog Sadie, who never left his side. David spent most of his life in the St. James area of Winnipeg. He loved sports and was known to get groups of kids together to play ball hockey on Marjorie Street where his family lived for many years. Then David and other musicians formed a rock and roll band in the 60s called "Marjorie’s Children", later named "Sounds of Silence". David was very proud of the band, with his good friend Dave King as Lead Singer.
David and Rhonda married on June 25, 1983 and started their family soon after. David was very proud of his two sons and enjoyed hearing of all their accomplishments. Dave worked for Winnipeg Transit, then Canadian Blood Services and Tony’s Transport. Dave was known for his great sense of humour and lively personality. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
No funeral is planned. A private family gathering will take place at a later date.
Thank you to the wonderful nurses and doctors in the St. Boniface Hospital Cardiac ICU who assisted our family and David in his final hours.
If friends and family so wish, donations may be made in David’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or CancerCare Manitoba.

My older brother David (now deceased) was a close friend of David W for many years. He called him 'Wes'. My last conversation with Wes was on the Sherbrook bus when I worked at HSC. He was always nice. My condolences. - Posted by: Ian King (Neighbour) on: Feb 11, 2025

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We did reconnect on FB recently and so glad we did. I played bass with Dave's band - Sounds of Silence - back in the 60's. I'm also a St. James boy. Dave's father worked with my Dad at Eaton's Floor Coverings for many years. It's a small world. - Posted by: william patterson (bandmate) on: Feb 05, 2025

I am so sorry to hear the sad news about David. We were Marjorie St. neighbours from when we were young children. He and my younger sister, Betsy were the same age and played together, I always liked David- he was a really nice guy and had a kind heart. Rhonda, you and David were at my wedding (don't know if you remember after all these years.) My heart goes out to you and the family.
