Donald James Curr
June 15, 1941 – April 28, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dad, grandpa and great-grandpa Don Curr. 

Don was born June 15, 1941, and passed away, surrounded by his family on April 28, 2025. He was born in Mirror, Alta., and spent his youth on the family farm in Alex. He spent his entire working years in the oil patch throughout Alberta.

Don will be fondly remembered for his quiet, tight-lipped demeanor, his sly wit and his passion for golf, hockey and baseball. For close to 20 years Don and Shirley looked forward to being snowbirds in Yuma.
Don is survived by his children: Tami (Kelly) Black, Terri (Darryl) Marchand, Trevor (Cathy) Curr; grandchildren: Trisha (Mike) Datema, Dustin (Brandy) Black, Alysha Marchand (Mathieu LeMessurier), Spencer Marchand, Sharise Marchand (Ethan Forrest), Taeler Curr (Damon Rowling) and Connor Curr; great-grandsons: Jeremy (Justine) Datema, Carter and Ethan Datema, Zachary and Zander Black; and one brother: Charlie (Helen) Curr. He was predeceased by his life partner Shirley Leavitt.

The family would like to send a special thank you to Ruth Gale for all her help and support with Don.

Thank you to the nurses and staff at the Rocky Hospital for their care and attention during Don’s final days.
