David P. Epp
September 25, 1956 – November 16, 2025
David Peter Epp of Saskatoon, SK passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Sunday, November 16th, 2025, at the age of 69. David is survived by his wife Carol; 3 sons David, Mark (Chelsea) and Joshua; six grandchildren – Thora, Isis, Grace, Lena, Wyatt, and Rose; siblings – Randy (Carol) Epp, Garth (Debbie) Epp, Peter Epp, Sandy Epp. Mother-in-law: Neta Gerbrandt, and siblings-in-law – Walt & Ev Gerbrandt, Don & Dana Gerbrandt, Harv & Ali Gerbrandt, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
David was predeceased by his parents, Peter & Anne Epp; a nephew, Scott; a niece, Andrea; and his father-in-law, Peter Gerbrandt, and also a very dear family friend, Janelle.
Remembered as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, David is known for his adventurous spirit, dedication to family, entrepreneurial work in building maintenance, passion for mission work, and joyful humour. David touched many lives through his service and relationships.
Dearest to his heart were his family. No one could lift his spirit as quickly as his sons, his grandchildren, siblings, and those whom he considered ‘family’.
Everyone will remember Dave for his humor and pranks, but also his wisdom. He had a way of bringing light and laughter into a room and connecting people.
He has left an enormous hole in our lives. Thankfully we have many amazing memories that will hold him close in our hearts.

There will be a hole in the world, but we are so fortunate to have had the time with you that we did. We will never forget you as the glue of the family with your warmth, stories, jokes, and pranks. Praying for everyone during this difficult time.
Love and sympathy to each of you dear Epps. Even now, thinking of him makes laughter start to bubble up.

Dave ran our building, but over the years he became so much more than our resident Mr. Fix-It and egg man — he became our friend. He had a special way of remembering details, making people feel seen and heard, and he never failed to make us laugh. His presence brightened our days, and he will be deeply missed. Our thoughts go out to all of Dave’s family at this very difficult time.
Blessings on a pillar family of the 1950/1960’s edition of Ebenezer, as we all knew it then. David grew up with my brother, which made our family happy to have another link to the Epps?
OHHH Carol I am so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing.
You both played a special part in our journey all those years ago! How things change. Ray passed away just over a year ago. I truly feel your pain. Love and prayers. Laurna Schmidt
Such mixed emotions with this news! We will miss Dave and his big presence and smile but we rejoice that he is with his Jesus….safe and out of pain. We love you and are praying for you all.
I’m so sorry, Carol! There are no words that can lessen the pain of losing Dave. Prayers of God’s presence to you.

Dave was one of a kind. I really appreciated Dave’s sense of humor and willingness to always help others. His commitment to his family and the marriages of other was a testament to his passion for others.
You will be missed but never forgotten
All our love and prayers for Carol and the family

Carol & family, what a loss this is and a shock for us to hear of Dave’s passing. We have such incredibly fond memories of the two of you singing at Marriage Encounters. Dave had a special gift for making people laugh and feel loved and accepted for who they were. We’ll never forget his rendition of “My Own Grandpa”! We send our sincere condolences and love ❤️.
Charlene & Norm Shuttleworth
To the Epp family and Carol I extend my condolences on the passing of David, he was well known and well loved in our church family, I can feel your pain as I’ve gone through the same process when my dad passed from cancer. On Behalf of our Ebenezer College and Carrer Group we send our prayers and condolences
God Bless
We are so sorry to hear this news, Carol. May you find Jesus near, every single day as you learn to live this new normal. We know God has walked with you through other hard things and He is with you now but it is oh, so hard. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast every care on Him, he cares for you so much. 🩷🙏
Love, Skeeter & Carla
My dear Carol & family,
I am so saddened by this news of Dave’s passing, the heaven’s are rejoicing today!
I send my deepest sympathy to you all at this difficult time.
Sending virtual hugs to you Carol
Sincerely Sue Maruk & family
David was (it’s so hard to think of him in the past tense) a friend of our church, the “Christian Fellowship” in Olsztyn, as well as a close friend to several families personally. He helped a great deal with the renovation work in our church building and financially supported many of our activities. I will remember him as one of the most devoted and selfless people I have ever met.
It is difficult to find words that adequately express the gratitude I personally feel for Dave’s life, as well as that of our church, the “Christian Fellowship” in Olsztyn.
It is even harder to find words to express our sorrow at his passing and the longing we feel, knowing that here in this world we will no longer meet, hug, or fool around together.

Carol, you and Dave are an inspiration to many couples. He will be greatly missed. May God give you strength and peace as you deal with this difficult time
Dave will be dearly missed by his ‘Colliers Family’. His smile, wit, and willingness to lend a helping hand or give helpful advice, along with being the egg guy…were only a fraction of great qualities we could say about him. My condolences to his family and friends.
What a pleasure to meet Dave the eggman! Always so pleasant and lovely to spend a few minutes with. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family. 💐🙏❤️
My sincere, heartfelt condolences to you Carol and family. May God continue to give you His strength at this sorrowful time.
Our prayers go out for you Carol, and your family, during this time of loss. While it has been many years since our paths have crossed, I can still recall when you and Dave first met and smile when I recall many of the great memories of hanging out with Dave, and other Grant friends, back in Winnipeg.

We are so very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. His fun loving presence will be missed. You were the kind of couple others wanted to be around because we always felt uplifted. I remember sitting behind Dave in a worship service. I said to him, ” New pants hey?” He said yeah, how did you know? He had left the sticky strip down the back of the leg stating the length. We laughed.
May you find daily strength Carol. Judy and Harry
We’re so saddened to hear of Dave’s passing. We have such fond memories of our time with Marriage Encounter. He always knew how to make us laugh as “Buck Buck”, that’s for sure! But what we will remember most about Dave is his kindness, his genuine warmth, and his absolute love for people. We will always treasure our memories of this one of a kind man.
Oh Carol, I am so very sorry for your loss. Christie and I send our deepest condolences to you and yours. We only met him the one weekend with both of you at Hope Encounters, but he left a lasting impression on us both. We’re praying for you during this very difficult time. May Papa God come along side you and your family and bring His incredible peace.
Dear Carol and family
