DAVID SMITH GIESBRECHT
“There’s a Grief that Can’t be Spoken”
We are unbelievably sorry to announce that David died suddenly last week of a brain aneurysm. He was 42 and in good health, living in Edmonton.
As you can imagine, our family is in shock as we begin to process what feels surreal. We’d last seen David a couple of weeks earlier when he was home in Winnipeg for his cousin’s wedding, and thankfully our last times together were fun and upbeat. He was especially enjoying his two-and-a-half-year-old nephew and the two of them entertained us with their synergy and connection.
David will be cremated and brought home to Winnipeg.
The family invites you to a special gathering for David on Monday, September 2, at 1:30 p.m., at the Pavilion in Assiniboine Park. The event will be live-streamed - details available closer to the date.
In David’s honour, donations can be made to, Jasper Wildfires or Friends of The Laureate Academy.
Our family feels immensely grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support surrounding us as we begin to make our way through unfathomable grief.
