David Challiner Fielding
1939 – 2026
David Challiner Fielding, aged 87, passed away peacefully after a short illness on March 18, 2026, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
David, affectionately known as Dave to those close to him, was a retired employee of Monsanto in Lasalle. Throughout his life, he was known for his remarkable ability to tinker and fix just about anything—a skill that brought joy and practicality to many around him. His wonderful sense of humor brightened countless moments and left an enduring impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Dave cherished time spent with his family and particularly loved his time at Silver Lake as well as visits to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, places that held a special place in his heart. These trips were filled with laughter, connection, and memories that will be treasured by those who shared them.
He is survived by his beloved wife Rosamond; his daughter Cheryl; his sons Jon (Kathy) and Jamie (Terri); his grandchildren Alex (Laura), Charlotte, and Nathaniel; and his great-grandson Lukas. Dave’s legacy lives on through the love and memories shared by his family.
May David’s memory bring comfort to all who knew him. A Memorial Service will be held on April 25, 2026, from 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM at Lakeshore Cardinal, 560 Lakeshore drive, Dorval, QC H9S2B3.

To Jon, Kathy, and family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Dave over the years at the Pink softball tournament. He was a constant, friendly presence who loved talking with everyone.
A couple of years ago, I also saw him and Rosa at the Lachine vaccination center. What struck me most was his wonderful sense of humor and the playful banter he shared with his wife.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
To The Fielding family,
I was very fortunate to have met Dave by walking my dog everyday. I would stop to say hello and if Ros wasn’t outside he would go get her so she can see the dog, I found that so adorable. Dave would talk about his youthful years, he was a person with great wisdom. I had just found out that he passed and I felt as though I lost my dad all over again. You will be missed and always in our hearts. My condolences to the
Sweet Uncle Dave, miss you . Hope you are smiling down on us and sharing your Fielding advise with all around you.

My deepest condolences to the Fielding Family.
I was fortunate enough to have worked with David at Hertz. He always showed up for work with a kind word and a gentle smile. I relied on Dave many times for advice and he was always happy to oblige.
Dear Jon, Kathy & Family,

To the Fielding family and friends,
Please accept our deepest sympathies for the passing of Dave, a truly wonderful gent.
As you know, we were lucky enough to have a cottage a few doors down from Dave & Ros, and had the chance to share many laughs with Dave throughout our stays in Laurel. Never once did we see him without a smile, a great story to tell, and an amicable and loving demeanour. A truly terrific human being!
We are saddened by his passing and hope that the support and comfort of loved ones, along with an endless multitude of wonderful memories, will help make the sorrow more bearable.
