Obituary for Cst. Peter Dale Donaldson

Cst. Peter Dale Donaldson
Feb 12, 1963 – May 15, 2018

It is with great sadness that the family and friends of Cst. Peter Donaldson announce his sudden and tragic passing near Lampman, Sask. on May 15th, 2018 at the age of 55 years.

Left to remember Peter is his loving common-law spouse Lisa Mus and her children Leighton and Nathan Mus, and parents Jim and Marilyn Ross; uncles, Louis (Rose) Nemeth and Bill (Helen) Nemeth and numerous cousins. Also remembering Peter are special friends, Cst. Chad Mehl, Devaney Mehl, Justin, Sharon, Mike and Chris Charron, Vonda Wildin, John Swain, Tracy Welch, Sara Fried, Claude Parent, Cpl. Andy Knowles, Cst. Blair Reagan, Taylor Sabourin, Katia Bigney, and Julia Retallack, along with the members of the Estevan Combined Traffic Services, Estevan RCMP Detachment, numerous other RCMP Detachments in Southeastern Sask. and all those who were touched by Peter's generous heart.

Peter was predeceased by his parents, Yvonne “Ronnie” and Dale Donaldson; his grandparents, Garnet and Sybil Donaldson and Mike and Julia Nemeth, as well as several aunts and uncles.

Peter was an avid firearms enthusiast, photographer, movie/science fiction lover, motorcycle rider, and relished discussing anything tech related. He had a love for Ford Mustangs and was always working on his and friends' vehicles. He and Lisa loved to travel, especially back to his hometown of Ottawa, Ont., where he hoped they would retire one day. He was a proud RCMP officer and loved his position with the Estevan RCMP Combined Traffic Services. All those who encountered Peter were greeted with his infectious smile, larger than life personality and his unique sense of humour.

Family and friends would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to Estevan RCMP, Estevan Combined Traffic Services, RCMP “F” Division Operational Communication Center Dispatchers, Lampman Fire Department, Lampman EMS, Estevan EMS, Estevan Fire Department, Estevan Police Service and STARS Ambulance.

The Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Church of God, Estevan, Sask. with Pastor Geoff Thiessen and RCMP "F" Division Chaplain Tom McCullagh officiating. A reception will follow at the church. Following cremation, Peter will be laid to rest at the RCMP National Memorial Cemetery (located at Beechwood Cemetery), Ottawa, Ont. - date to be determined.

In lieu of flowers, those so wishing may make donations to the RCMP Foundation (National Remembrance Fund), 203 - 2460 Lancaster Road, Ottawa, Ont., K1B 4S5 or online at www.rcmp-f.ca
