It is with heavy and grieving hearts that we share the passing of Douglas Gerald Alexander Coburn on January 7th2020. He leaves behind his loving parents - David and Helen Coburn, his ‘two girls,’ daughters - Katria and Celestin, his brother - Richard, and sister - Suzanne. Finally, he leaves behind his granddaughter - Islay and many many friends whom he considered family. Douglas always believed family was who and what you made it. There are no words that could ever truly reflect his wonderful talent for bringing laughter and making others feel special. He loved all things made of blue and white, cherished warm sunny days, and maintained spirituality with nature. There was nothing more he loved than being in good company, and will be cherished in memory as a teacher, actor, and outspoken supporter for the rights and freedoms of the LGBTQ community. In lieu of flowers, family ask that any donations in honour of Douglas can be made to the 519 Space for change at www.the519.org - They offer a multitude of programs to the LGBQT2S community in support of awareness and mental health.
