Obituary of Joshua David Shadd, MD

Passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 15, 2018 at his home in Hamilton. Loving husband of Averil (nee McCann), and devoted father of Julie and Samuel. Eldest child of David (d. 2014) and Julie Shadd. Joshua will also be greatly missed by his siblings, Daniel (Hannah), Hannah (Darren Hoffman), Deborah, Leah, and Philip (Jessica), as well as by the McCann family and his 12 nieces and nephews. Dr. Joshua Shadd is sure also to be missed by the patients he served as a palliative care physician at St. Peter's Hospital, Hamilton, and by his colleagues. His faith in Jesus Christ shaped him as a husband, father, and physician, and it is because of this faith that we have hope even as we grieve. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 19, 2018 from 2:00 – 4:00 and 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. A memorial service will be conducted at WEST LONDON ALLIANCE CHURCH, 750 Wonderland Road North, London, on Thursday, December 20, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Joshua are asked to consider Compassion Canada.
