It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Michael Stadler on Dec. 17, 2019; in his 73rd year. He was the youngest son of John and Catherine Stadler who lived in Robson / Castlegar since 1953.
David graduated from SHSS before attending the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson. His never-ending thirst for art, music, history and architecture led him on many journeys around the world and within Canada. David was gentle and kind and never passed up an opportunity to reach out to anyone he felt was less fortunate than himself. Through his quiet nature and unique sense of humor he won the hearts of many.
David is survived by his sons Julian and Ian; siblings Laurel Edwards (Rick), Judith Gallant (John), Lloyd Stadler (Christine) and their extended families. He will remain forever in our hearts and memories.
The family would like to extend sincere appreciation to Dr. Thibodeau, Dr. Van Vliet, Andrea and the staff at both clinics. Also, to Erika and the Pharmacy staff at Shoppers Drugs in Castlegar. Your kind and caring attention meant a lot to David; he was fond of you all. Thank you as well to Jordan and the Castlegar Funeral Chapel for your guidance at this difficult time. A Celebration of David’s life will be announced in the Spring.

Hi Laurel, and the rest of the family. Dave will certainly be missed by Ev and I any and all that knew him. He had a truly good heart. And was a very dear old friend.

I would like to offer my condolences to the family. David was a good friend. We worked on dam projects and shutdowns quite often. Super Dave as I also called him was a very hard worker with a smile for everybody. My wife Carol also gained a friendship with Dave on shutdowns and she always looked forward to working with him. I am so glad Dave had a chance to travel as I followed his trips he shared with many on Facebook. He will be dearly missed but he left us with so many good memories. I am proud to have had him as a friend. God bless you all.
