VantageWire.com along with many in the mining investment community would like to pay respect to mining and exploration investment writer David Coffin, who died last Thursday at the age of 56. We would like to extend our sympathies to Mr. Coffin’s family.

David provided solid commentary and analysis in his Hard Rock Analyst publications, along with his brother Eric Coffin. His wisdom, wit and overall presence will be missed.

David Coffin passed away unexpectedly on

February 15th, 2012 at the young age of 56.

Predeceased by his father Mervyn Coffin.  He is survived and lovingly

remembered by his mother Sandra Coffin and by his brothers Terry

(Marlene), Ian (Myra) and Eric (Hilda) and by Meredith, Gaelan, Emma,

Ben, Eric and Paul – the nieces and nephews he adored.

David was well known and widely respected as the co-editor of the Hard Rock Analyst publications. He was a man of integrity and honesty who dealt fairly and well with all that knew him. He was generous in spirit and in deed, valued his many friendships and always had time to offer advice and help to others. Friends will remember his acute intelligence and wry sense of humour. He loved to travel and his job took him to literally dozens and dozens of countries over the years. All of us who love him hope he’s now in Business Class on his way to a better place.

A Funeral Service will be held for David on Saturday, February 25 at 10:00 AM at Guardian Angels Church, 1161 Broughton St, Vancouver, Fr. Boniface deSouza presiding. Interment to follow for the family at the Gardens of Gethsemani,15800 32nd Avenue, Surrey.

In Lieu of flowers, the family gratefully acknowledges your donations to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation and/or to TheWaterProject.org, a charity that builds clean water wells for African villages.
