Donald W.E. Hunter “Don” of Plevna, passed away at the Lennox & Addington County General Hospital on Monday, April 6, 2020. Loving husband of Betty Hunter. Cherished father of Jennifer Hunter (Chris Ladoucier) of Belleville, Heather (Shawn Avery) of Kingston, Kelly (Rodney Watkins) of Ardoch. Cherished grandpa to Cole, Austin, Quentin, Lincoln, Kristen and Sarah. Pre-deceased by his parents Gordon and Beth Hunter formerly of Napanee. Survived by his brother Douglas (Jan) Hunter of Belleville, his sister Diane (Gilles St. Onge) of Napanee, sister-in-law Sharon Hunter of Kingston. Pre-deceased by his brother David Hunter. Don had a great sense of humor and was well known for some of the sayings he’d come up with. He would always help anyone when needed without being asked. He also loved his animals be it a dog, cat or a goat and he had all of those mostly at the same time. Don was born in Morven and grew up helping on the family farm till the age of 16. He loved outdoor life: hunting, fishing and camping. He apprenticed as a carpenter and worked in the Kingston area until moving to Ompah in December 1987. He continued to work as a carpenter and also started logging. He eventually turned to logging, even sawing lumber and kiln drying it and selling firewood until he was no longer able. Cremation has taken place with Milestone Funeral Center. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be contributed to the North Frontenac Fire Dept., L&A Hospital Foundation or the River of Life Christian Fellowship. Online condolences can be shared with the family at www.milestonefuneralcenter.com
