Donald Walter Stevenson February 1st 2019 avis de deces

Donald Walter Stevenson
November 7, 1936 – January 30, 2019
Don was a born and bred Manitoba farm boy and that is where his heart always was.
Don moved to Alberta as a young man and started working on the bridge in Millarville. He was then recruited by Duke Drilling and spent years working in the Oilpatch as a driller.
He then met and married Sylvia Gilbertson in 1957. They were married for 54 years until her death in 2011.
He had a second career working in Calgary in the glass industry first at Nu-Vue Glass and retired from Crystal Glass.
Following his retirement, Don and Syb moved to Airdrie and resided there for 12 years. Don then moved to Okotoks and resided at Heartland Seniors residence. Don passed away surrounded by his loved ones at the Foothills Country Hospice on January 30, 2019.
Don was an expert trap shooter, and shotgun gunsmith and vendor. He sold shotguns at hundreds of gun shows across Alberta over the past 30 years. He was a member of the Layalta Gun Club for many years. Don loved to spend time with family, fishing, snowmobiling and of course shooting gophers. Many farmers were particularly grateful for his expert marksmanship. Gophers not so much.
Don leaves behind his three loving daughters, Cindy Burk(Phil), Cheryl Brandford(Bryan) and Tammie Rhodes(Jeff) and grandchildren Breighanne, Kirby, Bryce and Shealeigh. He was pre-deceased by his daughter Velaine in 2009, and his brother Blaine in 2000.
He also sadly leaves behind his sister Jean, brothers Elmer and Barry(Tannis) and numerous nieces and nephews, in Manitoba.
There will be an Open House at the Brandford residence, 32048 – 338 Avenue East Okotoks, on Saturday, February 2 at 1:00 PM. All are invited. Please text 403-819-7071 for directions.
