August 29th, 1983 – January 20, 2024
Amit Dave was an incredibly loving person. He shared his gift of positivity with many and brought joy and support to all that he encountered.
On August 29, 1983 at St Georges Hospital in Tooting, London, England Amit began his journey into this world. Born to Balmukund (Muku) and Pravina Dave, he was the first grandson on his maternal side and the youngest on his paternal side. Lovingly, his childhood nickname to many in his family was “Gui Gui.”
At the age of four, Amit’s family emigrated to Canada, settling in Edmonton, Alberta. Amit was a bright, inquisitive and intelligent child who was full of laughter and grew to adulthood carrying these wonderful qualities with him. With a love of superheroes, cartoons and inspirational characters – he imbibed those values through school and into his friendships and life. Always smiling, always joking and making everyone comfortable with his personality – Amit brought value and deep insight to interactions with everyone.
After graduating from NAIT in 2003 with a degree in Network Engineering; Amit began his IT career at Convergys in Edmonton before moving to Calgary where he excelled in each new direction he took. Qualico Homes, Shane Homes, AltaGAS, Suncor, Microsoft – were just some of the companies that his contributions and impact was felt. From working on nuclear power plants to forming his own consulting company with the blessings of Ganesh who is the remover of obstacles as his logo. Amit was a valued resource who was relied on for his expertise, ability to solve complex situations with ease, and most importantly his responsible and trustworthy nature.
Amit was a truly remarkable soul whose generosity knew no bounds. His heart was filled with an abundance of kindness. This led him to care for each and every person in his life with genuine love and compassion. Amit’s journey was one of both generosity and success. Starting in an entry-level position, he carved a path of achievement, reaching senior positions and demonstrating a wisdom in finance that was unmatched.
Yet, what truly defined Amit was his humility. He never hesitated to lend a helping hand or offer support to those in need, always reminding us;
“I know I’m blessed, so if I can help someone out, why wouldn’t I?”
This mantra encapsulates the essence of who Amit was – a friend to all, a beacon of warmth and understanding.
Beyond his remarkable heart and career, Amit was a person of laughter and joy. His infectious giggle and love for light-hearted humor, such as fart jokes, brought smiles to all around him. He found pleasure in the simple things, and made them extraordinary. From cooking and to sharing a meal with friends, Amit truly was about the experience being together could bring.
Amit’s impact on our lives will never be forgotten. His legacy will continue through the countless lives he touched and the love he shared. Today, we honour a man whose generosity, intelligence, and humor enriched our lives in immeasurable ways.
Amit; you will be dearly missed, but your spirit will forever live on in our hearts.
Captain America was his favourite superhero who he tried to be like everyday by bringing love, light and happiness to the world.

My Condolences 🙏
My heart is shattered hearing this news. Amit, you were such a kind person and had a presence that filled the room. It’s hard to imagine that I’ll never hear your laugh or see your big smile again. I’m so thankful for the time we spent together and the great conversations and memories we had. I will cherish these memories forever. You will never be forgotten my dear friend, may you rest easy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Amit was a wonderful person, and will be deeply missed. You can be proud of Amit. He was an amazing person whose memories will live forever! Amit was always a positive, caring and reliable friend. He will never be forgotten. I share in your sadness as you remember your loved one. I’m praying for you during this very difficult time.
My brother I can’t describe how much you will be missed. I still remember seeing your smiling face the first day we worked together. I didn’t know that it would start a friendship that spanned a continent and has lasted this long. I hope you find peace. You will be missed and you were loved.

We are deeply saddened that Amit is no longer with us. Amit was a very generous, supportive, happy, intelligent and accommodating person. If someone was needing help, Amit was always one of the first people to be there for that person. His family should be very proud for the kind, warm and good hearted man that they raised. I’ll always remember Amit for how awesome he was with ours kids, and them both calling him “Uncle Amit” when they were really young. I’ll miss the annual Birthday, Christmas and New Years messages and seeing his smiling face at get-togethers or events. May he rest in peace. He will be missed by so, so many.

A person like Amit comes by once in a lifetime. He never hesitated to go to the moon and back to help, he was extremely intelligent, and he was a kind and generous friend to everybody. I, personally, am devastated and in shock by his passing. And the world will not be the same without him in it.
God bless, Amit. I hope that your passing was swift and painless and that all the burdens you felt in this world are now dust. I am 100% sure that you have been welcomed with open arms in the afterlife.
I was so shocked when I heard the news about Amit. I met him through my best friend who worked on an assignment in Canada with him. Living in Dallas, I only I met him face to face a handful times; the last time an all guys trip to Cancun in 2011. While I don’t know any of his family, do know he was loved by a group of guys here in Dallas and who are all incredibly saddened by his passing. Everyone would always say what a good he is.
My heartfelt condolences to his family in this difficult time,

My condolences to the family and friends of Amit. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Amit was a wonderful person and brought so much joy and positivity to the office. His dedication and hard work were truly inspiring, and he will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
My heartfelt condolences to the many family and friends affected. You were a good one Amit, and I will miss our occasional chats. Rest in Peace.
Words are difficult to describe a young man of such qualities. Amit has been friend and family for the last 30 years and we have seen him grow up into this young teenager and young man with that permanent cheerful attitude. We never saw Amit upset or angry. He was always helpful and went beyond what we asked of him. We will remember him as one with a great smile and positivity in life. To his parents, know that you brought up a son you should be proud of. To his sister, know that your brother’s presence in your life will always be a source of strength to you and you mattered to him so very much. To all those who knew Amit, our lives have become richer just having been around him. Thank you Amit to have been here. Now, you are just on the other side, .. with that great smile on your face and joy in your stride and Krishna’s hand on your shoulder.
Deepest condolences to Amit’s family. I have known Amit for many years and I will always remember him as an amazing human and someone who I always enjoyed a conversation with. I am very saddened by Amit’s passing. It is a huge loss. Rest in peace Amit.
Sending our deepest condolences and prayers to your entire family!! We pray for your hearts and minds in these upcoming days and weeks.
