Benjamin, Donald William
April 30, 1953 to April 6, 2018
It is with great sadness that we are having to say goodbye to our beloved husband, brother, dad, uncle, son-in-law, brother-in-law and friend to so many. Mourning for Donnie is his wife Gail, sister Elaine Sharpe, brother Daniel and his wife Audrey and the other half of him in so many ways his best friend ever and twin Ronald with his wife Emily. Donald’s three children, Candace (Shawn) Stuckey, Tracey (Kevin) Brost and Johnpaul Benjamin (Christa). Donald was blessed with 7 grandchildren, Kylee, Sienna, Courtney, Chance, Dillon, Damien and Lexus, and 2 great grandsons Kodie and Jace along with stepdaughter Jacey Melnyk (Matt). Mother-in-law Marlene Cuming and father-in-law Jim Ellwood. Donnie is predeceased by his brother Ed Benjamin, brother-in-law Allen Sharpe and stepson Cole Annable. As well as parents Roy Benjamin, Betty Lagore and stepfather Paul Lagore.
Donnie will be missed for his kindheartedness, his super great laugh out loud stories, his weekly card games and by so many family and friends who knew him to be a great, humble and caring man. His absence will be felt during every camping trip, hunting expedition and pigeon race that our family has forever more. Donnie enjoyed the simple life, his time with his family and friends. He was like a little kid during his 3 trips to Disneyland. He got to see some sites. He worked hard. His great pleasures were fishing with JP and the boys, hunting with Nadine, Ronald and all the guys. Racing his Homing Pigeons always competing and collaborating with Ronald and the fellows from the Central Alberta Racing Pigeon Club. We all miss you sweetheart – this was much too soon.
