July 27th, 1958 – August 15th, 2024
It’s with heavy hearts that the family of Douglas Wayne Goss, announce the sudden passing of our amazing dad and grandfather on August 15th, 2024, aged 66, at Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville, ON.
Doug leaves behind three children Kevin (Stacey), Glen, and Kendra, along with his adored grandchildren Brayden, Brody, Dylan, McKenzie, and Everett. Pre-deceased by his parents Doug (November 2023) and Josephine (April 2024). Survived by his sisters Brenda Goss (Glenn Carrick), Cindy Matthews (Harry) and Andrea Goss (Jim Irvine), along with many nieces and nephews. Family meant everything to Doug and his world revolved around them and their love back.
Doug’s best life started and ended with his kids. Kevin fondly remembers the travels with his dad during his sporting days for competitive hockey and lacrosse. Kevin is forever grateful for the time Doug spent coaching him in his younger years as he carries on that tradition with his own children.
Glen was the ultimate fishing buddy. Starting from a very young age, Doug passed on his knowledge and love of the sport. Glen carries that in his heart and made several custom-made rods for his dad that Doug would proudly show off. The pair looked forward to their annual steelhead fishing trips to Pulaski, New York.
Kendra – the one who was always by his side. She remembers him being the “yes” dad and knows she was definitely “daddy’s little girl”. The weekly shopping adventures (where Doug was extremely patient) always ended with a meal to reminisce about their adventure. Kendra credits her dad with the adoption of her animals, and was grateful that he had Ophelia (his cat) in his life the past few years.
Doug religiously attended the grandkids sporting events; hockey, lacrosse, circus school, dancing, and school events. He was always there to cheer them and their teammates on. Doug was “Grampa” to so many – kids of extended family, neighbours, and friends.
Doug’s second love was his river family and his absolute love of river fishing. After working 30 years as a dispatcher, he enjoyed his retirement years sitting on his rock at the Beaver River in Thornbury, famously named “Heavvy D”. Many would move off that rock when Heavvy D arrived to do some drifts. Fishing was Doug’s passion.
As per Doug’s wishes, we will be having a celebration of life at the Beaver River in Thornbury on Saturday September 14th, 2024 at 2 pm (park in the Thornbury Municipal Harbour Parking Lot off Harbour Street).
Glen Goss is organizing a “Heavvy D’s Memorial Steelhead Tournament” November 23rd and 24th. You can find details about the event on the facebook group Heavvy D’s Memorial Steelhead Tournament. Link: www.facebook.com/share/g/uSCH7rfKW5VNk3g2/
The family would like to thank everyone for their care and compassion during this difficult time.
