So sad to hear of this. My condolences. I believe I was Donnie's grade 5 (or maybe grade 6) teacher at Roy H. Crosby P.S. Wish I had made the effort to reconnect with him. He was an enthusiastic, happy guy, and was a pleasure to have in my class. Rudy Hartmann
I am so sorry to hear about Don’s passing. I met Don when I was hired as a violinist to play with Shade. He was such a sweet, caring man. I remember his care for others’ welfare, whether it was expressing his concern at my working at a bar late at night as a young woman, or checking in on his friend Paul when he was unable to talk after a minor surgery. I remember his sense of humor, and his playful laughter as he and Paul cracked each other up. I am so sorry for your loss.
Janice, Doug, Colleen, Holly and Maggie,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother/uncle. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Our deepest condolences.

Don was a great guy with a permanent smile on his face. I met him as a young crew member at the McDonald's across the road from where he lived.
We were good friends.
Always a good guy
I'm so sorry to hear of Don's passing. Your heart break must be tremendous. I met Don when I was hired to play in Shade. He was the most even-keeled, kind, understanding, generous band leader I've ever worked for. When we became friends I enjoyed his razor sense of humour, his pragmatism and gentle demeanor. As the only female in a band of guys I always felt heard and protected when Don was around. Thank you Don. May his love for music radiate the heavens.
Doreen, I remember Donnie so well from James Robinson Public School. He was ao well liked by his school mates, and admired by everyone for his skill with the drums.
A life too short.
Doreen, I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. . George McKelvey

My condolences. I have a many memories of Donnie. From working at McDonalds,skiing,camping,working other jobs,to hauling music equipment around to the gigs. You will be missed!
My condolences. I have many fond memories of Donnie, and I'll never forget when he started to learn guitar. He was so good so quickly I was motivated to keep practicing to try to keep up. I never could.
I wanted to send my condolences to Don’s family. I had the pleasure to play in a band with Don for a short time. He was a very talented musician and a wonderful person. He used to walk me to my car each night to make sure I got there safely. I feel blessed to have known Don, he will be in my thoughts.
Doreen,
It has been many years since we worked together at Trillium Daycare Centre. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved son.
Sincerely Karen Clarkson
