Dave McLean Memorial

David Andrew McLean

September 14, 1973 - October 9, 2023

In the wake of Dave McLean's passing, it is with a heavy heart that we reflect on the profound impact he had on our lives. Dave was not only a loving and dependable partner but also a caring and dedicated father.

Dave's vibrant spirit and sharp wit made even the most mundane moments magical. His sense of adventure complemented his successful career in the Lighting and Electrical department of the film industry. His passion for movies, appreciation for the filmmaking process, and generosity towards his colleagues defined him as not just a colleague but a friend to many.

Despite the challenges of his demanding career, Dave's dedication to both work and family never wavered. He took a year off to care for our children and consistently went above and beyond to help those around him. His creativity and humor created lasting memories for everyone fortunate enough to know him.

The sudden and tragic loss of Dave has left a void that cannot be filled. As a family, we were on the cusp of better days.

The reality of his absence, compounded by the financial strain of debts and ongoing mortgage, has left us facing an uncertain future.

Dave was our shelter during life's adversities, but the weight of his struggles ultimately proved overwhelming. Now, as we navigate this difficult time, I find myself starting anew, grappling with the challenges of being a single parent after major surgery and attempting to provide emotional support to our children as they grieve.

The world feels less colourful without Dave.

Dave's spirit lives on through the memories we shared. Despite the Herculean efforts he made to shield us from the hardships, we are left grappling with the aftermath of his untimely departure.

In this time of adversity, we humbly reach out for support. Any assistance provided will help bridge the gap between this challenging present and the hope for a more stable future. We remain forever grateful for the compassion and generosity extended to our family during this difficult period.

Thank you kindly,

Linnea, Isla and Mattias McLean
