Dave Couture

My condolences go out to the family. I am so sorry too hear of the lost of a dear loved one to this family. Dealing with this situation can be the hardest thing to face. God's word the bible gives heartfelt and true meaning for ones sleeping in death; Revelation 21: 3,4 says: 3  With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” God also promises a hope for ones to have life again at John 5: 28,29a : Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29  and come out.

Dennis and Beth, We noticed the announcement in the paper recognizing the passing of your son David. What a tragic loss of such a young man. We know it has been a while since we have seen each other but we had to write and express our condolences for your loss. May he rest in peace. Regards, Jim and Jan Dumouchelle

Dave and I worked on a variety of shows together / me being on the receiving end of material sent to the network I got to see his sunny and happy face everyday for long periods of time. Overtime he moved to being my Post point person and would always go an extra step to help me out on whatever I needed, no matter what time of the day. Always funny and polite, whenever I would see him and his crew, he would make me smile as asked him about his life. Words are not enough sometimes to describe how one feels about a one-of-a-kind person, we can remember him and with those memories we will remember that feeling. We miss you Dave - my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Dave was my colleague & boss, but really I considered him my friend. I was always pleased to hear when he was coming in town, to "Canadia" as he would say. Although we didn't get to see each other often, we shared a lot of laughs. He shared with me his comedy scripts and I got to see the talented writer that he was (not surprising). A few memories... On one of his visits he decided to pack up a whole dailies system, not because he had to, but because our colleague said he couldn't. He did it, I helped, and we celebrated by sending our colleague a good "fuck you" picture after that haha. On another visit, we stopped somewhere so he could buy 40$ worth of scratch and wins.....it makes me laugh just thinking about it. I advised him otherwise, but he reassured me "Don't worry, it's monopoly money!" referring to our colourful bills. When I went to LA, he picked me up every morning. Even though I was a 3 minute walk away from work...and he would always offer to buy me coffee. These might seem like small things, but I think they show what kind of person he was. He was kind, generous and really had the best laugh and sense of humour. Dave was genuine. I miss my friend. My heart goes out to all his family and friends.

With deepest sympathy to all family and friends

Dave was my right hand man for six years and six projects. He was a person pleaser who went out of his way to make everyone happy, even when he didn't have to. He knew more people at 20th Century Fox then I'd ever thought possible. We'd walk across the lot and from around every corner I'd hear "hi Dave...hey Dave...yo Couture" from the head of Creative Development at Fox to the uniformed security guards. Who was that I say, or isn't that so and so, and how the heck do all of these people know you? He'd laugh…shrug his shoulders and would move on with those long legs of his, as if if was no big deal. I use to joke that he was the unofficial Mayor of Fox, but it was true...everyone knew and loved him! I might have been the boss but he was my man on the ground, and he would regularly challenge you to think harder and accomplish tasks better. He could and would do anything for just about anyone. He was a one man band that wanted to do things his way or not at all; lucky for me he could fix just about everything he got his hands on. He helped me every day...i wish I could have helped him as well.

I had the pleasure of working with Dave for quite some years now. I first met him as our client, when he worked at Fox and then had the great pleasure of working along side him here at Mango. He always had the ability to brighten up my day simply by being himself. His loss is terribly felt here and we all miss him dearly. To his parents, please know that you have a wonderful son, he was respectful, thoughtful, caring, incredibly intelligent, and a sense of humor that will never be matched, and I feel honored to have had the opportunity of knowing him. My sincere condolences for your loss. God bless you, Maria Figueroa

Dave was truly a one of a kind. He will be missed by his post family. We love you!
