'Sorely missed': Darwin mourns hospitality icon
Territory hospitality icon Dave Cannon has been remembered as "one of the world’s great gentlemen" after his death in Brisbane following a battle with cancer.
Dave was well known in Darwin. He moved from Brisbane to the Top End in 2005 and soon made his mark on the restaurant scene in the Territory capital.
He owned numerous pubs and eateries, including Char Restaurant, Mulligan’s Restaurant, the Cavenagh Hotel and Cannon’s Kitchen. 
Dave’s wife Brigette told mourners that her husband was the "gentlest teddy bear" and adored his daughters Lillie and Maggie.
“
BRIGETTE CANNON 
He was the best dad and his world revolved around the girls. There are so many reasons Dave and I had a deeper love. I will forever carry him in my heart well beyond our vow.
Hospitality NT chief executive Alex Bruce said the hospitality industry was mourning the loss of a family member.

ALEX BRUCE
Canno was a much loved long-term member of the Territory’s hospitality family and will be sorely missed. 
Darwin local and friend Geoff Cussen also shared his memories of Dave on social media.

GEOFF CUSSEN
Rest In Peace Dave Canno — one of the world’s great gentlemen. It’s been an honour to share some great moments with you and you will be sorely missed.
