Donald Edward RICHARDSON

RICHARDSON, Donald Edward
September 29, 1954 - May 9, 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Don on May 9, 2018, in Edmonton, AB, leaving all who knew and loved him in a state of disbelief. He will be so missed by so many. Don was a caring, considerate and generous man, content with his life. His work ethic dictated that a man put in a full day's work, and more, if required, reflecting the values and habits of his parents. His love for his daughter, Krystal- Lee, was boundless, and the arrival of his grandson, Elliot, happily completed his family circle. Unselfishly, and with true devotion, Don cared for his partner, Karen, until her passing in 2012. His passion for dismantling and rebuilding vehicles resulted in many successful projects through the years. Don worked for Coltons Consulting & Maintenance for 20+ years, and resided in Winfield, AB. Left to mourn his passing are his daughter, Krystal-Lee Richardson and fiancé Luke Turgeon, and his grandson Elliot; stepdaughters Brieana (Mark) Malone and Denise Measor (daughter Lilyana, son Nikko), sister Marlene Bigg and nephews Steven, Matthew (Aly Sidders), and Patrick (Kristin Simpson) Bigg, as well as cousins Walter (Olive) Amos, Brenda (Alan) Dougherty, Lawney Gordon, and many, many friends. He was predeceased by his partner, Karen Buehler, mother, Emily Richardson, fathers George Beecroft and Wallace Richardson, brother, Ken Beecroft, and brother-in-law, Gary Bigg. A Memorial Service and reception will be held at McDougall United Church, 8516 Athabasca St SE, T2H 1S1 Calgary, on Sunday, June 3, 2018, at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Canadian Cancer Society.
