Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Abbotsford
South.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
today,
I
Rise,
to
acknowledge
the
recent
unexpected
passing
of
dawn,
Voth,
Dawn,
lad.
A
truly
amazing
life
Dawn
had
a
strong
entrepreneurial
Spirit,
owning
several
construction
companies
branching
into
real
estate
development,
and
in
his
later
years,
farming
Don
was
born
on
September
9
1949
in
Chilliwack,
and
was
the
eldest
of
four
kids
Dawn
married
the
love
of
his
life
Elma,
and
they
were
married
for
53
years
and
raised
three
children.
Dawn
and
Elma
welcomed
nine
grandchildren
into
the
family
and
was
a
very
proud
papa.
A
He
attended
anything
they
chose
to
do
and
was
a
huge
cheerleader
one
of
Dawn's
favorite
things
to
do
which
brought
him
immense
Joy
was
when
he
was
surrounded
by
family
and
friends,
enjoying
dinner
on
the
home
patio
and
many
a
summer
night.
He
did
exactly
that.
Dawn
was
known
not
only
for
his
socializing
at
home,
but
often
could
be
found
at
either
a
Starbucks
or
a
white
spot.
He
had
a
love
of
ice,
Starbucks,
coffee
and
White
Spot
Burgers,
with
extra
triple
o
sauce,
in
fact
Mr
Speaker.
A
After
his
celebration
of
life,
those
who
intended
were
treated
to
exactly
that
Dawn
was
also
an
avid
car
nut.
His
passion
for
automobiles
started
at
a
young
age
and
he
was
fortunate
enough
to
own
a
huge
collection,
a
few
of
which
were
prized
Foose.
Cars
and
I.
Recall
him
telling
me
the
story
of
elma's
grocery
getter,
a
65
Chevy
Impala
named
The
Imposter,
which
was
highly
modified
to
fit
on
a
2009
Corvette
platform.
I
had
the
privilege
to
see
this
car
in
person
and
when
Dawn
brought
it
up
to
the
Abbotsford
tradex.
A
It
was
indeed
breathtaking
and
it
won
the
highly
coveted
2015
Riddler
award,
one
of
the
most
prestigious
Automotive
Awards
Dawn
also
had
a
great
sense
of
humor
and
gut
laughed
when
I
jokingly
mentioned
the
reason
the
Imposter
weighed.
So
much
was
due
to
excessive
Bondo
a
choke.
Perhaps
only
true
car
people
can
understand,
but
by
far
Mr
Speaker
Dawn
was
a
man
of
Faith.
He
devoted
much
of
his
time
serving
various
boards
and
he
was
not
shy
about
it,
as
he
shared
his
faith
with
friends
and
colleagues
alike.
