Donald Morrison (Don)
It is with great sadness that the family of Donald Morrison announce his peaceful passing on May 2, 2025, at the age of 91. Don selflessly dedicated himself to his family and to the service of protecting others as a firefighter for the Edmonton Fire Department for 35 years, retiring as Captain.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of nearly 64 years, Ann; children, Faye (David), Jan and Donnie (Laurel); his grandchildren: Brett, Scott, Kemp, Connor, Kyle, Beth, Graham and brother Allan. He was predeceased by his son-in-law Jeff and brother Bill. Don was loved by all who knew him and will be sadly missed.
The family wishes to thank the staff at the Citadel Care Centre for their kindness and outstanding care, especially during his final days.

I am deeply saddened to learn that Don has passed. He was a great friend to my family, the quintessential family man, and a genuinely good person. He will always have a place in my heart.

We’re so sorry for your loss. Don was such a fine gentleman who was kind and helpful to all including us. He made the world a better place and he will be missed.
Take good care.

We were saddened to hear of Don’s passing. Our love and condolences. There are countless fond memories of being in his presence along with the family which dates back to earlier years. He was a “stand-out” gentlemen and gave his best to others. His ever ready helping hand to others was extraordinary, as was his devotion to family and friends, community and career. We are so grateful for his kindness and support over the years. He will always be in our heart as will the Morrison family who are very special to us.
Great guy with a good family. Will miss the smiling grin . My condolences to all the family. I can wait a bit for my next ride on a fire truck. You know he will driving and working on one in heaven. But sooner our later I will get another ride with Don driving and us both smiling.
