Obituary For David Bryant Rutz
The family of David Bryant Rutz of Waverley, NS, age 71, are saddened to announce he passed away peacefully on February 24, 2026.
Born in Camrose, AB, he called NS his home. Son of the late Herbert and Marjorie Rutz (Keller) of Alberta. Survived by his wife, Debbie McNeil-Rutz, son Joshua and wife Aimee (Boutilier), Katherine Jones, mother of Josh. Brothers Barry (Gerri), Brad (Tammy) and sister Donna (Bruce Leicht) and many nieces and nephews.
Retired from a long career with MT&T and Bell Aliant where his fellow co-workers called him 'Rutzy'.
David enjoyed many summers going to the trailer by the lake, gatherings with close friends, especially Friday night dinners, campfires, and the odd golf game. Everyone will remember him enjoying the sun in his flowered shirts.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life to be held at a later date. Donations in his memory to the Alzheimer's Society or to Lung Cancer research.
