It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the death of Donald Burns MacCallum, which occurred on Saturday, April 12,2025. Don was born in Halifax on January 6,1940 and later lived in Sydney where he received his early education at Sydney Academy. He later joined the Air Force and when discharged moved to Montreal with the love of his life, Camelle (Chiasson). Upon their retirement they moved to Margaree Valley to be closer to family.
Don is survived by his son, Darren (Kathy); two grandsons, Kyle (Kristen) and Ryan (Chelsea), Montreal; two sisters, Sharon (Bill), and Elsie (Will), Lunenburg; a brother, Gordon (Cecilia), Manitoba; and his best friend, his dog, Levi.
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to Don’s many friends in Margaree and Cheticamp who assisted him. Special thanks to his dear friends, Steve and Raylene who helped and cared for him during his illness. Cremation has taken place. There will be no service by request. Donations can be made to Hope for Wildlife.
Condolences
I am so sorry to hear Don passed. He was a super nice man. I always enjoyed chatting with him. He was always in a good mood and it would resonate to those around him. His love for animals was a common interest and I will miss chatting with him.
He can rest in heaven with the love of his life Camille. They are together again forever.
Our sincere sympathies to the MacCallum family and to the extended families. With this lovely photo of Don, I can see the family resemblance. May he be at peace now and with no pain. with our love, Judy and Rick
