Obituary of David Dimberio

DIMBERIO, David Mark

Surrounded by love, faith and peace, David passed away peacefully on Friday, May 17, 2019 at the Welland Hospital, at the age of 57. Beloved husband and best friend of his wife of 31 years, Mary (nee Butera). Loving and devoted “Super Dave” and father of Christina (Dakota Egerter). Cherished son of Richard and Carol Dimberio. Dear brother of Philip (Patty), Donna Dimberio, and brother-in-law of Amy (Julio), John (Lydia), Angie (Albert), Rosie (Gino), Dominic (Angela) and Glenda. Dave will be missed by his Uncle Tony (Gail) DiPetta, Duana (Frank) Congin, Stephanie (Bill) Bishop, many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and cousins. David has been reunited with his grandparents, mother and father-in-law Angelo and Rosa Butera, by his brother-in-law Antonio Butera, and by his fur baby Sammy (his schnoodle).

A devoted family man, he adored his cats Severus and Luna. David was a free spirit and loved life! Our family is so proud  of how strong, positive and determined Dave was. He was truly an inspiration and he never stopped smiling. A proud entrepreneur, Mary and Dave owned Bridgeburg Antique Village in Fort Erie and he was the President of William’s Gold Refining Company. Back in the day he was a Dental Technician in California and a Banker in New York City. Dave gave endless time to charitable work and to his BIA and Canadian Power-Squadron. He loved cooking, outdoor sports (fishing, he was a Spartan Football player, baseball and golf), and his favourite pastime was enjoying car shows for he was a car enthusiast and he even owned Corvettes! In the summer months, he enjoyed spending time with his wife Mary, picking up and collecting beach glass and enjoying the water and watching the sunset. Our family is left with a lifetime of memories and love.

A special thank you to the staff, nurses, and doctors of the Welland Hospital for their kindness and support right to the end.
