Ian Burnside passed away in his home as he wished on January 6, 2023 at the age of 78. Much beloved husband of Pamela, brother of Duncan (Pauline), Diane, and Bruce (predeceased).
Sadly missed by nieces Shelley, Tanya (Craig), and nephew Erik (Cindy), sisters-in-law Sylvia and Lorna (Scotty), and his extended family and friends. Predeceased by niece Lisa, nephew Brent, and parents Thelma and Duncan. Dearly missed by best friend Mike (Jill).
Ian had a keen intellect and pursued many interests in great depth including chess, bridge, golf, painting, music, and health and nutrition. Ian had a great sense of humour and excelled at solving complex problems as a computer analyst.
Ian did things his way. Ian tackled Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with great courage and determination in Oct 2018. He declined chemotherapy and remarkably lived for 4 good years beating the expected life span of 12 months. Amazingly Ian kept his sense of humour throughout his journey with AML – while doing exercises in the hospital, he asked the physiotherapist if she was getting tired.
Ian received exceptional care from the Stronach Cancer Centre, Southlake Hospital, and New Tecumseth Home and Community Care. Sincere gratitude to Brenda, Colleen, Rupal, and Ellen for their amazing support.
Ian can now have a well deserved rest and be at peace.
A gathering of family and friends will be arranged later in the year.
The family would appreciate donations to the Alliston District Humane Society or to a charity of your choice.
