1947 … 2018
Darith Andrew Donald “Don” Hewitt, at his residence in St.
Peters Harbour, and in accordance with his wishes, passed from us to
his next adventure on Tuesday, November 27, 2018. At his side were his
loving wife and co- conspirator, Tarry and precious son Sam
(Charlottetown). Don is also survived by his eldest son Scott
(Colette) of Wasaga Beach and adored grandchildren, Cole and Sierra.
He leaves his special nephew, Jeff (Christine) of Calgary, together
with grand nieces, Evelyn and Hazel. Don was predeceased by parents,
Winnifred and Ron and stepfather, Bill Rodger.
Don was born in Calgary and with his military family, lived in many
parts of Canada and Germany. After serving with the Miitary police for
5 years, he joined the Ontario Provincial Police, spending most of his
career in Northwestern Ontario, primarily with responsibility for
First Nations. In these remote communities, he forged many long
lasting relationships. Don retired at the rank of sergeant from the
O.P.P. and went on to perform consulting services in the areas of
security, justice and policing for First Nations and PTO’s.
In 1997, Don and Tarry, together with son Sam lived out their dream to
move to Costa Rica. They stayed a year, returning to Canada and
putting down roots on Prince Edward Island, a place neither had ever
visited.
Don loved the outdoors, good food, good times and the company of good
friends.
The family would like to acknowledge and thank the following for
their
compassionate and competent care since Don’s cancer diagnosis in
2016: The PEI Cancer Treatment Centre staff, Home Care and the
Palliative Care Team, Drs. Magennis, Miller and Campbell.
Resting at the Belvedere Funeral Home with visitation on Friday,
November 30 from 2-4 pm. Memorial donations may be made to the
Canadian Cancer Society.
