MASTER-CORPORAL (RETIRED)

DAVID HARRY LATTA, CD

It is with deep sadness and heartbreak that we announce the passing of David (Dave) Harry Latta on Monday, April 14, 2025. Dave passed away peacefully of natural causes at the age of 81. He will be fondly remembered for his sarcastic sense of humor, boisterous laugh, love for music (nicknamed DJ Dave at his last place of residence), dedication to the Canadian Airborne Brotherhood and Veteran’s community and of course, his deepest love and devotion to his “Mrs. World”, Ann.

Cherishing Dave’s memories are his loving and devoted wife of 62 years, Ann; his son, Terry; his daughter, Tracey (Chuck); his sister, Vieva (Bert); three nephews, Tony, Dee and Chris; four grandchildren, Coral (Nick), Carlee (Spencer), Jesse, and Teyana; and three great grandchildren, Adley, Harrison, and Weston. Dave was predeceased by his sister, Dee, and his parents, Pat and Florence.

Dave left an enormous impact on anyone who came in contact with him and will be deeply missed by a treasured group of friends whom he considered family, as well as his many Legion and Airborne brothers.

As per Dave’s wishes, a portion of his ashes will be provided to the Canadian Airborne Brotherhood to receive his final Airborne salute.  The ashes will be carried to the top of “ExCoelis Mountain” and scattered, where he will join other “Guardians of the Mountain” who previously went on before him. The balance of his ashes will be provided to his family.

A Celebration of Dave’s Life will be held on July 24, 2025. Details will be provided by the family at a later date.
