David McKinnon, a prominent real estate broker and loving father from Brantford, Ontario, has passed away, leaving behind a legacy of commitment, professionalism, and familial love. As a Real Estate Broker and Head Coach at Revel Realty Inc. since March 2023, David made significant contributions to the office and the broader community.
Throughout his career, David established himself as a reliable and talented real estate professional, known for his extensive network and referral-based business model. His previous roles at HomeLife Professionals Realty Inc. and Royal LePage, where he operated in Hamilton for nearly a decade, helped him cultivate a reputation for excellence. Among his many accolades, he was honored with the Royal LePage Red Diamond Award, demonstrating his prowess in the competitive real estate landscape.
David’s ability to maintain a referral-based business set him apart, as he earned the trust of both clients and colleagues. His membership in numerous professional organizations, including the Hamilton and Burlington Real Estate Association and the Canadian Real Estate Association, reflects his ongoing commitment to staying informed and engaged in the industry.
However, it was David’s role as a father and husband that defined him most profoundly. He shared a loving home with his wife, Suzanne, and their four children — Matthew, Daniel, Jakob, and Ariana. Known for his sense of humor and down-to-earth approach, he created a nurturing environment for his family, often making time for family outings and personal moments that strengthened their bond.
Outside of work and family life, David enjoyed unwinding by playing pool, showcasing his approachable and grounded nature. Friends remember him as a person who could balance professionalism with an easy-going attitude, providing not only expert real estate guidance but also heartfelt companionship.
As the Brantford community comes to terms with this loss, David McKinnon’s legacy will undoubtedly remain. His contributions to the real estate community and his dedication to his family will be commemorated at a memorial service, where friends and colleagues will gather to share stories and celebrate a life well-lived. David’s impact as both a professional and a loving father will be cherished and remembered by all who had the privilege to know him.
