Major David Peabody
It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of our Museum Manager, Major David Peabody, CD. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We share this loss with our friends at The Calgary Highlanders, The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, The Military Museums, and the wider community that was touched by his leadership and kindness.
Major Peabody was not just a dedicated professional; he was a true friend and a source of unwavering support to all of us. His passion for history, his commitment to service, and his warm, infectious spirit made a lasting impact on everyone who worked with him.
We will forever remember his guidance, his integrity, and the way he made us all feel like part of something greater than ourselves. His leadership left an indelible mark on The Military Museums and on all of us lucky enough to know him.
Rest in peace, Dave. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew you.
A Memorial Scholarship has been set up in Dave's memory with the Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies (CMSS). If you would like consider donating to this scholarship, please click the link below:
