Donald Cross Obituary
Don peacefully passed away on October 6, 2019.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years Carole, his son David, daughter Susan and granddaughter Michelle. He is also survived by his brother Ernie and sister Sheila (Camrose, AB) along with many nieces and nephews.
Don began his business life as a plumbing and heating contractor in Penticton and eventually Kamloops.
He learned to fly and this interest took him to the Kamloops Airport where he spent many years operating a hangar facility and a Shell Aviation fuel dealership.
He was raised on the family farm in Rosalind, AB, and this is where his love of farming began. He would come full circle when he retired to finally have his own piece of land in Birch Island where he could be found moving dirt and planting seeds. He was at his happiest working and could fix anything.
Thank you to all of the staff of Ponderosa Lodge. Your kindness to Don and I will never be forgotten.
In memory of Don and in lieu of flowers, spend some time with a loved one, a neighbour, a friend and if this involves pie and ice cream then he would very much approve.
There will be a Memorial Service at 11:00 am on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at Schoening Funeral Service, Kamloops.

To Carole, Susan, David and Michelle : We were so sad to hear of Don's passing. We shared many wonderful memories with Don and the family.

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not [a]want.
2 He makes me to lie down in [b]green pastures;
He leads me beside the [c]still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will [d]dwell in the house of the Lord
[e]Forever
In His grip. Love you big Sister.
