David John Ast

June 10, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dave on June 10th at the Foothills Hospital. Dave was predeceased by his grandparents and Jack Harmel. He is survived by his loving wife Cheryl (nee Dadey); their canine child Brandi; mother Sandy Harmel; father Harley (Chris) Ast; brothers, Ken (Heidi) Ast, Kennan and Kenton; Jeff Harmel; Paul (Julene) Harmel, Matthew, Avery and Rory. Dave often said he was doing his dream job as Operations Manager for MTR Western that allowed him to take Brandi to work every day, she was part of their team. Dave's passions in life were destination holidays with Cheryl, golfing, camping/quading with friends. Dave will be sorrowfully missed by all his family, friends and colleagues. Please join us to celebrate Dave's life on Saturday, June 15th, 11:00 a.m. at Northeast Bible Church, 175 Whitefield Dr NE, Calgary, AB. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation Of Alberta & NWT & Nunavut, Suite 200, 119 – 14th St. NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1Z6. A Celebration of Life will be held in Regina, Saskatchewan at a later date.

My dad was in the hospital room next to Mr. Ast on the 8th floor. We are so deeply sorry for your loss and want to let you know that we enjoyed the talks with Dave's mom and with Roger? We were very touched by Dave's story and wanted to let you know that even though we are strangers to you, we prayed for your family. We would also like to say thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity (parking passes). We are still here at Foothills and are grateful for them.
