<div itemprop="description">David Teruo Oye <br> <br>With great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of David Teruo Oye at the age of 58 on December 9, 2016. He leaves to mourn his loving wife Susan, son Adam, daughter Jennifer, and sisters Theresa, Linda (Bruce) Koskie, May (David) Shipp from Whitby, niece Lauren (Kyle) Schroer, great niece Lily, and nephew Brian (Meghan) Shipp. David was predeceased by his mother Sue in 2011 and father Tom in 2012. <br> <br>David was a West End boy who grew up on Minto St. He went to Greenway, Sargent Park and Daniel McIntyre schools and kept his teachers on their toes. He went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Manitoba in 1980. <br> <br>David began his love of judo at the young age of 8 and competed in many tournaments. After his competitive career, he coached the judo clubs at the University of Manitoba and Japanese Cultural Centre. In 2013, David became one of the few judokas to obtain his Rokudan 6th degree black belt from Judo Canada. <br> <br>David followed several career paths which included Sperry Univac, New Flyer and Lockheed Martin. He found his perfect fit with Old Dutch Foods Ltd. where he worked for the last 18 years and was the Director of Purchasing and Logistics. <br> <br>David enjoyed golfing with his many long-time friends and business associates. David met many people through the Canadian Snack Food Association who became close friends and he always looked forward to the annual conference in the fall. <br> <br>Above all else, David was a family man who cherished his wife and children. He took great joy in coaching Adam and Jen’s mini-soccer teams and would never miss any of Adam’s hockey games or Jen’s dance recitals. Even after his parents’ passing, Sundays always remained the day that his siblings and his family got together to catch up on the week’s events at dinner and some friendly card games. <br> <br>A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, December 18 at 2pm, at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in David’s memory to the Manitoba Buddhist Temple, 39 Tecumseh Street, Winnipeg R3E 0J8, or the Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba (JCAM), 180 McPhillips St, Winnipeg R3E 2J9. <br></div>
