Condolences

So sorry to hear of Dawson's passing. I have fond memories of when he was a young boy, and always enjoyed meeting him around town, or at Christmas caroling. I knew him as a kind, gentle soul. My deepest sympathies to the Todd family!

My deepest sympathies. He will be greatly missed.

Both my husband Gary and I worked at Home Depot with Dawson. We are very sorry for your loss. It was quite a shock to hear this news. I was just talking to him not too long ago. Dawson was an incredibly kind, warm and sincere person. We will be terribly missed by so many people. I will miss the bear hugs he used to give me.
Our heart goes out to Dawson's entire family.

I am so sad to hear about Dawson's passing. We had just reconnected on FB after many years. My brother's and I have often reminisce with the Davie family about our years in Humphrey when we were neighbors. Alway the fondest memories. RIP Dawson. You are remembered fondly

To his family: I am so sorry for your loss. Dawson was kind and selfless. He was a co-worker, a mentor, and a friend. His pure joy for helping others and sharing his knowledge is unmatched. I know he will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched, including his Home Depot family at 7226 and the SSC. I hope you can hang onto all of the good memories you had with him that make you smile.

Rest in peace Dawson, and thank you for being you.

So sorry for your loss. Dawson was a wonderful person with an infectious smile. He will be missed.

I first met Dawson when he was working at the convenience store. Always a great big smile and chatty. Then I had the privilege to work with him at home depot. No matter what he did he always gave a 100%. I'm so sorry for your loss, he was a great guy who will be missed by all people he touched.

What an Awesome, Amazing person. His infectious laugh & high-jinxs will be missed. Top curls on the DQ ice cream cones, coffee trips, walks along the downtown core. No one comes close to his sparkling desire to assist family and friends.
Enjoy yourself pal, you deserve it.

My condolences to all of Dawson's family and friends. Although in the UK, I was fortunate enough to get to know Dawson through our enjoyment of gaming. I was nervous when I first hung out with the guys but Dawson made me feel welcome from the first moment. The time spent in his company was some of the best as we talked and laughed evenings away. Rest In Peace Dawber, you will be missed and remembered in equal measures.

We always enjoyed our trips to Parry Sound Home Depot. Dawson always greeted us with a great big smile. We loved attending the kids workshops as well. He will be missed.

Our condolence to the Todd family sorry to hear of Dawson's passing, he was a good public relation personal. he always took time to say hello to his customers. I was in the store not long ago. As soon as he saw me he said Hi Gord with a big smile. He will surely be missed.

I will miss Dawson so much. When we worked together at Home Depot he was always so supportive, and helpful and kind. He would introduce me as his "work wife".... and I called him my work hubby. Even after leaving Home Depot, I looked for Dawson for my big bear hug. Dawson was awesome and so energetic during the kid's craft Saturdays. The kids loved him! He will be greatly missed. I feel so sad that we lost such a great guy so young. My deepest sympathies to the Todd family.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Dawson’s family, his friends, and also to all his customers at The Parry Sound Home Depot I would also like to mention all the children that will miss Dawson for the immense Joy he brought to their lives at the kids workshops ... Dawson put on a Kids Workshop monthly at The Home Depot and the odd month 2 or 3 workshops ! These odd months with 2 or 3 were extra special for Dawson because they were one of the great highlights of Dawsons life. You need look no further than Dawsons Facebook page to see his immense joy for the Kids Workshops... You will be missed my friend, safe travels and May God Bless & Keep you always
Sincerely, Kristine Ann Stewart

So sorry to hear of Dawson's passing, and our love and prayers to all the Todd family.
Our memories go way back to about 1968 when we became acquainted with the Parry Sound area and the Todd family. Dawson's warm personality and big smile was always so welcoming. And in these later years he was very helpful and pleasant whenever we shopped at Home Depot! A truly gentle giant!! God bring comfort to all his family!

We've known Dawson since childhood and played together many times. He was always pleasant and had a warm smile even then and that never changed! It was always a pleasure to meet Dawson and most recently be served by him at Home Depot. We are shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden passing. He will be greatly missed and we pray God will comfort the family through your many precious memories of him.

Sorry to hear of Dawson’s passing. He brought joy to Home Depot and seemed to truly love helping people. Rest In Peace, Dawson.

We hope that Dawson realized the great impact he had on so many people as is evident from all of the kind comments. He truly was a special person and we always left with a smile after talking with him. He will be missed and fondly remembered. Thinking if his family.

We are so shocked and sorry to read about the passing of Dawson. He was the first person we met as we prepared to move to Parry Sound 3.5 years ago. He made us feel so welcome, and continued to be a great resource and always made us feel special. Our deepest sympathies to his family and to his home depot family. He is not replaceable, Home Depot will not feel the same .
RIP Awesome.
