It is with great sadness that we announce the death of David Oliver Alderson, 61, of Springhill, on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at All Saints Hospital. Born in Toronto, David was a son of Elizabeth and the late Ephrem Alderson Jr.

David was an avid out doors man. He enjoyed hunting, camping, and fishing and riding in the side by side on the trails. A big fan of racing, he looked forward to NASCAR each and every year. He was a friend to many and will be dearly missed.

David is survived by his wife of 33 years, Sheila (Gallant), of Springhill; his mother, Elizabeth Alderson, Oxford; his children, Brandy (Andrew) Thomas, of Springhill, Melissa Gallant, Springhill, Shaunna (James Herrett) Alderson, Springhill, Tristin (Chrissy Mattinson) Alderson, Springhill; five grandchildren, Isaac, Sarah Grace, Mackenzie, Jemma, and Caitlynn; his siblings, Dana (Karen) Alderson, Eleanor (Bill) Beaton, and Crystal (Edmond) Gogan; his mother-in-law, Viola Gallant; his sisters-in-law, Angie Blue and Pam Wood, as well as several nieces and nephews.

David was predeceased by his father.
