It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Donald Frank Derksen on March 8, 2021, at age 64. Don is survived by his mother Kae; brothers Al (Bonnie), Brian (Helen), and Murray (Michelle); and a large extended family including his former spouses Cheryl and Julia. He was sadly predeceased by his brother Robert (d. 2017) and his father Frank.

So sorry to learn of Don’s passing and your great loss. May God’s daily comfort fill your remembering.. I remember Don’s gentle generosity of heart to make others in a crowd welcome,
Gecondoleerd with your son and brother.

I knew Don as a teenager. In AYF in the 70’s and he was always there with a smile.
God bless you all in these heavy days. Many prayers are going up. Hugs to my friends…. we may not see each other but you are always in my memories.
