It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Alexander Anderson at the age of 77 on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025 at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, in Barrie.

Beloved husband of 51 years to Cheryl (nee Campbell). Loving father to Valerie Randall (Colin) and Heather Anderson Smit (Hobbe). Cherished “Papa” to Jack, Veronica and Ryan Randall, and to Noelle and Davin Smit.

David was an industrious man who worked hard for over 40 years at Car Quest/McKerlie Millen in Barrie. A nature enthusiast and animal lover, he enjoyed time outdoors and quiet moments with loved ones or alone.

At David’s request there will be no funeral service.

David always said “You never know what tomorrow will bring…”
