<div itemprop="description">It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing our father, husband, grandfather and friend, David Owen Palubeski on Dec 11, 2016. <br><br>He is survived by his beloved wife Patti Lacey, sons Brandon Powell (Erin Madden) and Jon Powell (Diana), daughters Samantha Lacey-Avon (Stefan) and Stephanie Lacey-Avon (Adam), grandsons Kaeden and Weston and granddaughter Sydney. Also mourning his loss are his brother Glen (Debbie), sister-in-law Bonnie Coulas, brother-in-law Don Taylor, nieces April and Laynia, great nephew Alex, mother-in-law Ev Lacey and many other family members and close friends. Dave was predeceased by his father Desmond, mother Dorene, brother Mark, and sister-in-law Wendy Lacey. <br><br>Since 1984 Dave has been the principal owner of Lombard North Group in Winnipeg.
