Donald James Bentley
December 12, 1949- April 3, 2024
It is with great sadness that we, the family of Donald Bentley, announce his passing on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, in his 74th year.
Donald leaves behind his devoted and cherished wife, Margo (Coyle) Bentley, of 47 years. He was a loving, proud father of Taye Pamboukian (Bentley) and Christopher Bentley. Father-in-law to Dr. Paul Pamboukian and Micheal Ward. He will be greatly missed by his dear brothers, Harold Bentley (predeceased), sister-in-law Jean Bentley and Raymond Bentley, and his sisters, Joanne Zylstra and brother-in-law Peter Zylstra and Darlene Bentley. His cousins, nieces, and nephews will also miss him.
Donald grew up in Eden but lived mainly in Tillsonburg, Ontario. He worked at Coyle’s Country Store, a family business, for many years. Later in his life, he wanted to venture into a new career path and was a Health and Safety Coordinator at Grassmere and KDM until his retirement.
Donald was a man of many talents. In his younger days, he loved to take his family out on Lake Erie for boat rides in the summer, which turned into his general love for scuba diving. He would often take his family and friends on many scuba diving adventures. He also loved to sing, especially with his daughter Taye. They have sung many duets together and had a great time. In his later years, he loved to play golf with his wife, Margo.
