David Alexander Linklater was born Tuesday, December 24, 1974, in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, to Solomon and Cecilia Linklater.
David was most happy being outdoors on the boat, fishing, hunting, camping at Spud Island and Bonald Lake.
During the winter he loved ice fishing with brothers Johnathan, JC, Davey and Darrel.
If you asked him where did you come from, his favorite answer was, “from my mom, 1974.”
David passed away unexpectedly, Saturday, June 20, 2026 at Pukatawagan, Manitoba, at the age of 51 years.
