It is with great sadness that we have to inform you of Donnie’s passing on July 28th, 2020 when he left this world peacefully with his daughter and brother by his side.
Donnie was born in Calgary and spent most of his early years between Kelowna and Calgary finally moving to Oyama to finish school at George Elliott in Winfield.
Donnie had numerous jobs when he was young and eventually settled at Maloney/Enterprise Steel where he had a long career as a Sandblaster.
Donnie had many friends and in the final years of his life he enjoyed his favorite watering hole, Baxter’s Pub where he loved being surrounded by the people he cared about. The Servers and patrons... you know who you are!
Thank you to KGH Doctors and staff in Dialysis as well as the ICU Doctors and staff who cared for Donnie and gave comfort in his final hours.
Last but not least, thank you to Kevin. Don’s best friend who was a living angel to Donnie and was there for him every step of the way.
Donnie was predeceased by his Father and Mother, Don and Dorothy (Dollie) and brother Craig. Donnie is survived by his daughter Chelsie, brother Les (Candace), sister Cathy (Mike), niece Carley and nephew Jerome (Cassandra) and many other relatives.
There will be no service but we will share a pint at Donnie’s favorite watering hole.
We will miss you forever Donnie. See you over the rainbow.
