Obituary of David "Dave" Sholea

(Town of Arnprior Water Department)

 

With heavy hearts, the family announces that Dave passed away rather suddenly in the arms of his only son Shaun on Wednesday morning, January 22, 2025. David John Sholea of Arnprior was only 65 years of age. Apart from his son Shaun Melnyk and his grandson, Mannix, Dave is survived by his siblings: Heather Murray (Ron), Russell Sholea, Pat Sholea, Jane Swaine (David) and Robert Sholea (Shelly). Also survived by his many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brother Edward as well as his parents: Jack and Edna (nee Wright) Sholea.  

Dave was a 35 year employee of the Town of Arnprior. He spent his years between the Waste Water Plant and the Water Filtration Plant. Though his work was important to him, his love of his Scottish heritage was evident in his talents as an avid bagpiper. Dave could often be found practicing the pipes in his backyard, at the hunt camp or anywhere else he felt comfortable.

He will be remembered for his quiet demeanor but helpful attitude.

 

Dave’s private arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Pilon Family in Arnprior. In his memory, please consider a donation to the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation.
