Donat Leo Aubin
AUBIN, Donat Leo
1949 – 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donat Aubin, surrounded by family, at Hospice Cornwall on Monday, December 2, 2024 at the age of 75. Loving husband of 53 years to Barbara (nee Laperle), devoted father to Adam (Chloe), and Becky Ranger (Joey), and adoring Grampy to Lily, Emma, and Felix. Cherished brother to Ronald Aubin (Rita), Carol Maloney (Gus), Rose Quenneville (Lionel), Sandra McAteer & Renee Noel. Brother-in-law to Marjorie Taillon (Lorne), Terry Laperle (Linda), and Jeff Laperle (Cindy). Predeceased by his parents Hilaire and Kathleen (nee McKissock) Aubin and survived by his Godmother, Darleen Baril. Remembered fondly by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
Donat was a strong man with a big heart and the warmest smile. Starting at the young age of 17, he spent the majority of his life providing and caring for those closest to him, never asking for anything in return. Donat was the definition of a hard worker, spending 38 years employed at Domtar. He built his family home in St. Andrews West 50 years ago and has never taken a break from working with his hands – there was nothing he could not build or fix. Many will remember his love of motorcycles, cars, fishing, and camping. In recent years, he showed his softest side as he showered his grandchildren with love and attention.
The family wishes to thank those who helped care for Donat throughout the past nine months as he fought his battle with brain cancer, especially Dr. Menon and the exceptionally caring staff at Hospice Cornwall.
A memorial Service will be held at St. Andrews Parish Catholic Church on Tuesday, December 10th, 2024 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Donat’s memory to Hospice Cornwall.
