Donn Russell Tyrrell, a man of great character, loved by all who knew him, passed away suddenly on Sunday October 6, 2024, at the age of 54.
He will be deeply missed by his wife Brandi (nee Whiteside) and his daughter Emma-Lee; they were the light of his life.
Donn is survived by his parents Paul and Patti-Lee Tyrrell and will be remembered by his brother Scott (Jennifer), sister Tammy (Jim), and nieces and nephews Liam, Kesley, Brinley, Georgia, Jake, Mason, Everett, Asher, and Adelena. Also missed by his mother-in-law Gail (the late Murray) Whiteside and brother-in-law Jason (Tara).
Donn loved to cook (he was the best!) and loved riding his motorcycle, shooting pool and music; he was just learning to play the guitar. He loved boating and fishing, and he also loved to dance (that’s how he and Brandi met). He would talk to anyone, anytime, about anything; he was a true chatterbox. If he didn’t know the answer to a question, he was the first to Google to find out. Donn will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and for his love for his family.
Please join the family to celebrate Donn’s life at 2 p.m. on Tuesday October 15, 2024, at the Royal Canadian Legion – Collingwood. As an expression of sympathy donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation.
