Don Currie

CURRIE, Don….

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Don Currie who left us peacefully at the age of 83, lovingly surrounded by family on November 6, 2026. Don leaves behind his devoted wife Pat and treasured children Debbie, Craig (Teresa), Jennifer (Matthew) and Scott (Ines). Doting grandpa to Copeland, Elliott and August, Don truly cherished the time he spent with his family, affectionately reminding us of how proud and honored he was to have us in his life.

He is predeceased by his parents Sadie and Aldborough, his sister Jean, brother George, sister-in-law Riva and brother-in-law Barry. He is survived by his loving siblings Archie (Helen), Art, Marion and Helen, along with his many nieces and nephews.

Don’s hands built skylines and his stories built character.  For decades Don was an industrious ironworker working with his brothers and nephews.  He later transitioned into education holding a position at Fanshawe College teaching Manufacturing Sciences. Throughout his life, Don had a passion for construction, auto-racing and history, generously sharing his skills and interests with those he loved.  His drive and ambition propelled him through life as he lived by the motto “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” In his later years, he enjoyed spending time soaking up the sun on the deck he built and puttering around the yard and in his garage.

Don lived life on his own terms, was incredibly resilient and a legend of his time. His wit was admirable, his humour disarming and his smile would melt your heart.  Don’s knowledge, understanding, curiosity and appreciation for this beautiful world we live in was impressive and impactful. His absence is deeply felt and he will be forever missed. We love you so much Dad.
