David ThomasASHCROFTIn loving memory of David Thomas Ashcroft, aged 78 years old, it is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce David's unexpected passing on September 27, 2024. David, a handsome, dashing, and charismatic man, who was full of life, love, and laughter, left us, his family and friends, and this earth, far too soon. David, who was born in Liverpool, England, went on to live in Canada and the U.S., later returning to the U.K., where he lived on the Wirral, and in Calderstones, near Allerton in Liverpool, his final resting place. David began his career working in engineering on the Empress of Canada (ocean liner), and later, as a successful company director in manufacturing, import and export and property development. He was the proud and beloved father of Anne-Marie (Etienne Lavoie), Thomas (Xuan/Uyen Nguyen), Victoria and Georgina, and grandfather to David, Elizabeth, Dean, Blake and Leia, who will miss their Grandad dearly. David was also a loving husband and partner to Dawn Turner Ashcroft, with whom he shared a beautiful life for almost 30 years. David absolutely adored his family, and friends, with whom he found joy in the simplest of moments, whether in spending quality time with his loved ones, dancing the night away or in sharing a good laugh. His smile, warmth, and kindness touched the hearts of everyone that would have the good fortune of knowing him. David's sudden passing has left an immense void in our lives; however, we will forever hold dear the memories, the love that he gave to us, and his guiding light. And, although we will miss him deeply, we find solace in knowing that his spirit is with us, with unbroken continuity, and that his legacy of love and joy lives on, comforting and inspiring us each day.

All who loved him, are welcome to attend David's celebration of life service that will be held at All Hallows Church of England in Allerton, Liverpool on October 16th, 2024, at 3pm. We love you, Dad & David, always and forever, Anne-Marie, Thomas, Victoria, Georgina & Dawn.

Well Dave it was a long time ago, the Autumn of 1969 if my memory serves me correctly, when you first joined the Empress Of Canada and the Staff Chief Engineer asked me to keep you under my wing. He obviously had no idea that you were the ultimate fun loving party animal. We had some great laughs together It was an honour to have sailed with you Dave , Now you have passed over The Bar may you find light winds and calm seas, R I P
