DONALD VINCENT STRUM
1937 — 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donald Vincent Strum on October 30, 2024, at the age of 87. Donald was born on April 1, 1937, in Truro, N.S.
Don grew up on the family dairy farm, where he learned the value of hard work, honesty, and loyalty.
In his teenage years, his love for motorcycling began and lasted throughout his life. He participated in many biking events, including the Rose City Grand Tour, 3 Flags, and 4 Corners. Over his journeys, he accumulated over a million miles, visiting every U.S. state except Hawaii.
As a young man, Don moved to Edmonton, where he drove a truck for Esso before eventually owning his own truck and driving for Tri-Mac.
He met Mary and her three children, and they moved to Kamloops, where he drove trucks for Arrow. He bought a house on Dallas Drive, where they raised the children, and when time allowed, went on motorcycle trips. Mary eventually went her separate way.
After a few short-lived relationships, he met Cheryl. Their friendship blossomed into a lasting love for the next 17 years.
Don was sadly diagnosed with dementia and spent the past eight months in Overlander Residential Care, where he was lovingly looked after.
He leaves behind the love of his life, Cheryl Robinson, as well as his friends and stepchildren Barry, Ron, and Trina.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Manor House, located at 360 Battle St. in Kamloops, on November 17, 2024, at 1:00pm.
