It is with deep sadness that the family
of Donald Noel Oulton, aged 70, announce
his passing on April 8, 2024 at his home in Amherst,
NS.
Donnie was born in Trenton, Ontario on
March 23, 1954, a son of the late John and Barbara (Jackson) Oulton,
the youngest of four children.
His parents were educators and his
mother was also a gifted musician. Donnie developed a
life-long love of music and enjoyed creating home sound systems and
puttering with electronics.
Donnie spent his teenage years in the
Sackville, NB area and attended Tantramar High School, graduating in
1972. In the mid-1970s, he went west and eventually began an
apprenticeship as an electrician at Hotel Lake Louise, AB.
Donnie achieved his journeyman designation, settled in Calgary working
construction, and started a family.
Donnie came back east in 1984 and
resided in Bedford and Lower Sackville with his young family, working
for a time in the shipyards in Halifax. He then worked on
several oil rigs off the East coast. In 1993, he began his
career with Ocean Prawns as an onboard electrical engineer. His work
involved extended fishing trips in the North Atlantic.
Donnie retired from Ocean Prawns in 2008 due to ill health following
an accident. He was a Jack of all trades and over the years, he
completed many home renovation projects on his own.
«The Don» was a generous and
outgoing guy; a loyal and good friend, he would offer his time and
skills to anyone in need. Like his mother, Barb, he welcomed
everyone into his home and hosted great parties, lobster feeds and
nights around the card table. He had a wicked sense of humour and
loved to tell a good story. His favourite times were spent with his
daughters (his «girls») and his grandchildren at the family
cottage in Lorneville. There were many nights around the bonfire, with
family and friends, guitars and Donnie on the mouth
harp.
Donnie is survived by his three
daughters, Jessie Oulton; Leanna (Brad) Phillips; Shawna Jackson; and
his four grandchildren, Ayla and Jaycie Phillips; Bennett and Raegan
Jackson, all of Calgary. He is also survived by his sisters,
Terry (Brian) Stafford of Burlington, ON; Linda (Renato) Landert of
Ottawa; and brother, Ray (Sharon) of Lucasville, NS. He is
also survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins. At
heart, he was a family man and cherished the times spent with them. He
gave the best hugs and always signed off with «love
ya».
Arrangements are in care of
Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church
St., Amherst, NS (902-667-8777) where plans for a celebration of
Donnie’s life will be announced at a later date. There will
be a private family burial in Tidnish.
