It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Dave Reiter of Lacombe, Alberta, on April 4, 2025. Dave was a devoted father, beloved son, cherished brother, and a true friend to so many. His sudden departure has left a deep void in the hearts of all who had the joy and privilege of knowing him.
Dave served as a pipeline supervisor in Red Deer County, Alberta, where his dedication, work ethic, and leadership were respected by colleagues and peers alike. From January 2020 until early 2025, he worked full-time in the field, bringing not only his technical skill but also a deep sense of camaraderie and integrity to the job. His presence on any crew brought reassurance and strength.
Beyond his professional life, Dave was a beacon of kindness, known for his generosity, humility, and infectious spirit. He was someone who lived life fully — riding, camping, laughing, learning, and being present for those he loved. His bond with those around him often went beyond friendship — he built families in his relationships, rooted in loyalty, laughter, and shared journeys.
A heartfelt tribute from close friend Kelly Shaun beautifully captures the essence of Dave’s life:
“I have walked with you, cried with you, laughed with you, worked with you… I LIVED LIFE WITH YOU BY MY SIDE, BROTHER. You truly were one of a kind.”
Dave leaves behind his beloved son, Nixxon, and his former partner Mandy, with whom he shared a rare and inspiring friendship. Despite their separation, Dave and Mandy remained united in love for their son, celebrating life’s milestones together as a family. Their relationship was a testament to Dave’s character and commitment to those he held dear.
A fundraiser organized by Amanda Jasman is currently underway to support funeral expenses and provide for Nixxon during this deeply difficult time. Amanda writes:
“Dave was a fantastic friend and had a heart of gold… There aren’t enough words to explain his kindness and generosity. He was truly a wonderful person.”
Service details will be announced in the coming days. Until then, we hold Dave’s memory close and honour the vibrant, compassionate soul he was.
Dave Reiter — you will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and endlessly loved.
