DAVID WILLIAM ZACHARIAS
June 5, 1934 - March 11, 2020

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Dave Zacharias, at the age of 85 years. He leaves to mourn his beloved Kathy, wife of 62 years and son Russell.
Dave grew up near Horndean in Southern Manitoba. As a young man he came to Winnipeg in search of employment. He was hired at T. Eaton's Co. to work in the warehouse at Alexander docks, in shipping. Later he moved to the new facilities in St. James, and then in 1980 came to work at the St. Vital Store.
Dave retired from Eaton's in November of 1993.
Dave firmly believed in physical activity, particularly team sports, played outdoors, organized for girls and for boys. He coached soccer teams for several years, then became involved in organization, including team competition across Canada.
During his retirement years, he was involved at the Soccer Complex, at Curling Club at Lindenwood Manor and at Bethel Place. Dave managed the Soccer Complex on Waverley for many years. Dave, an avid curler, organized and curled in senior men's league, for years, at the Pembina Curling Club.
Dave was a devoted Christian. He accepted Christ as his personal saviour as a young man and was baptized on confession of faith at the Plum Coulee Bergthaler Church. Dave will be missed by those in Bethel Community, his curling and soccer buddies, folks in the retirement residences and cousins, nephews and nieces.
Dave passed away in the evening of March 11, having suffered a stroke earlier in the week.
The family would like to thank the personnel at Health Sciences Centre for their attentive care during Dave's short stay.
A memorial service celebrating Dave's life will be held at Bethel Mennonite Church, 465 Stafford St., Winnipeg, at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
A private interment is scheduled.

  • Dave was my boss for 2 summers when I worked at the soccer complex. He was friends with my dad as well, so I saw him when he would come help my dad build his house. He will be greatly missed. I remeber going out to A&W for brunch, going to greenhouses for flowers, fixing those tractors at the complex. I only have good memories. He was a great man, My deepest condolences to his family and friends. - Posted by: Regan Boulet (Friend thru Soccer Complex) on: Apr 04, 2020

  • My husband and I got to know Dave through our involvement with the Winnipeg Soccer Association. We spent many years on committees and tournaments together. His kind and easy manner always made it a pleasure to work with with him. Many fun times were spent setting up and taking down nets and overseeing the success of these tournaments. He was a valued member of our annual Golden Boy Soccer Tournament. - Posted by: Lucille Rybuck (friend through soccer) on: Mar 22, 2020

  • I am so sorry to hear this sad news! I enjoyed working with Dave at Eaton's St. Vital. He was a great role for so many of us young people that just entered the workforce from school. Even on the busiest of days, Dave was always a gentleman and expressed his care and concern for everyone. I have often thought of Dave over the years with hope that one day we would meet again. Rest well Dave, you are missed, but your time here with us was so appreciated!! - Posted by: Gerald Ragot (co-worker at Eaton's St. Vital (1979 - 19920) on: Mar 14, 2020
