Surrounded by his caregivers and family, Don Melick passed away peacefully in his home at Maitland Manor on April 22, 2023, at the age of 83. Lovingly remembered by his brothers Bill (Barbara Carroll) and Jim (Diane), his sister-in- law Pauline, and several nieces and nephews. Don was predeceased by his parents Gladwin (Dan) and Eula, his brothers Jack and Robert (Bob) and sister- in law Mary Lou. Don will be remembered for his contagious laugh and sense of humour. He loved listening to music and practiced singing the first line of “O’ Canada” several times daily. The Melick family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all staff at Maitland Manor. Your ongoing care, kindness, dedication and support are truly appreciated.
At Don’s request, a graveside celebration will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Don’s memory to Maitland Manor or a charity of choice.

We are so sorry for your family’s loss, please accept our condolences. Don always had a great smile and friendly words whenever we saw him about town. Although we had not seen him for some time I’m sure he never changed. RIP Don
