Rielly, Donald James (Donny), passed away suddenly, yet peacefully on Thursday, May 4, 2023, at The Juravinski Hospital, Hamilton, Ontario at the age of 60 years old. Lovingly remembered by his sweetheart in life, Nancy, 35 years of marriage.
Donny will be held forever in the hearts of his siblings, predeceased brother Brian (Danielle), brother Bill (Judy), brother Tom (Debbie), sister Barbara (Randy) Montour, sister Janice, (the late Jim) Ramsden, and sister-in-law, Kathy (child, Sol), and all his nieces and nephews, and cherished friends.
Don started his career as an electrician for Comstock Canada as a member of I.B.E.W. Local 105 before changing career paths to join the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) in the Plan Review Department. He enjoyed travelling with the love of his life, was an avid golfer and had a passion for music.
He was always one to be quick witted and would razz anyone in his presence whether he knew them or not.
Many, many, thanks to Dr. Shariff, Dr. Quinn and the wonderful nursing staff of the Juravinski ICU Unit.
