Donald McKay Obituary, A Cherished Soul Has Sadly Died
Donald McKay Obituary, Death – It is with a heavy heart and disbelief that I find myself writing this post, compelled to share the devastating news that our beloved father, Donald McKay, known affectionately as Jeff to family, passed away unexpectedly early this morning, December 29th, at 12:15 am, surrounded by his close family. Donald valiantly battled Pancreatic Islet Cell Cancer for four years, demonstrating immense strength and courage throughout.
In the face of his health challenges, Donald refused to let cancer define him. Remarkably positive and looking great, many were unaware of his ongoing battle. His resilience and bravery from the beginning to the end were truly admirable, leaving an indelible mark on those who knew him.
We find solace in the fact that Donald was able to fulfill his dream—purchasing the lake house he always desired and transforming it into his version of “Don McKay perfection,” a testament to his determination and spirit. While we navigate this difficult time, we are unable to respond to messages and calls unless absolutely urgent, but we assure you that we will reach out to everyone in due time.
The outpouring of support received yesterday and today has been deeply appreciated. We extend our gratitude to all who have shared their condolences and offered comfort during this trying period. In a bittersweet twist of fate, we thank our father for waiting until after my birthday was over.
