With heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Donald (Donny) Walter Pridham on September 10th, 2024. Don was born in Newmarket, Ontario on October 30th,1956, known for his wonderful sense of humour , quotes and quick wit. Predeceased by his parents John (1996) and Elizabeth (Bette) in 2004 and his oldest son, Jason (2005). Left to mourn are his sons Gregory (AZ) and Cole (BC) as well as his siblings in Ontario (Douglas, Deborah and Diane and their families). Don will also be missed by his caring friend, Penny. In Don's younger years, he enjoyed playing hockey for Maple, ON and continued to play when he was stationed in Germany. Don saw service in Germany, Cyprus and Yugoslavia while in the Armed Forces. After leaving the Armed Forces, he settled down in his beloved Nanaimo, BC where he enjoyed fishing and hunting and met many close and loving friends. He definitely loved BC and no amount of talking could convince him to move back to Ontario!
There will be no service held at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a memorial donation be made to a charity closest to your heart.
