WINTERS: Dana

Dana Winters in his 72nd year of Goderich passed away peacefully on May 6th, after a heroic and courageous battle with cancer. He faced every challenge with strength and his memory will forever be cherished by all who knew and loved him.

Dana will be remembered for his big heart, and unwavering thoughtfulness. He touched the lives of many with his generosity and quiet strength.

He is deeply missed by his loving daughter and best Friend Stacie (Rob) Corrigan and cherished grandchildren Cameron and Emma. Dana also leaves behind his dear friend Gail Chrysler, whose companionship meant so much to him in recent years.

Dana is survived by his brothers Keith (Barb), Connie, Gaye, Carman (Mary), and Laurie; and his sisters Merry (Richard) and Candy (Roger). He was predeceased by his beloved wife Ellen, daughter Crystal, his parents Harold and Dora (née Buchner), and brothers Roger, Barry, and Mac.

In honour of Dana’s memory, donations can be made to the Children’s Miracle Network-Children’s Health Foundation, London Health Sciences, a cause close to his heart.

A private family service will be held at a later date.

Forever in our hearts.

May every sunset remind us of his warmth and lasting light.

Condolence from Carman Winters on May 8th, 2025 12:04 AM

Dana was not just a Brother he was Best Friend a confidant and a sounding board for some of my thoughts. We text each other early in the morning to see what the other one was up to that day we did this for the last 12 years at least. Growing up I was blamed for pouring hot water in to his rubber boot while his foot was still in the boot but I apologized just lately but told him I didn’t think I had done it which he didn’t believe. One last time brother i love ya. Till we meet again Vaya Con Dios. I will miss our text and Talks

Condolence from Mike Mabon on May 8th, 2025 12:38 AM

Dana was our neighbour for the last few years. He never missed an opportunity to spoil our children with holiday treats either in the mailbox for them to find after School or on the doorstep after being away. He was a kind and gentle man who enriched our lives with his genuine interest in our lives and his willingness to take time to have those neighbourly moments. He will be dearly missed here. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends from the Mabon family (Mike,Veronica, Olivia and Rachel.

Condolence from Linda and John MacDonald on May 8th, 2025 3:59 PM

Hello Stacie and Rob: I was very shocked to see your dad had passed away Stacie, I didn’t know he was ill. We send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We loved having your dad and mom live beside us, they were wonderful neighbours. We sure miss them,. They were a great couple, and we enjoyed playing cards together. We sort of lost track of your dad when he sold his house and moved to the country, but received a Christmas card from him every year. I know Gail well as she worked at the hospital and she used to babysit for friends of ours before she married Allan Chrysler. We used to talk to your dad when he went for walks on the boardwalk as he walked up Elgin Ave. and home.
Your dad is with your mom and your sister and all are resting in peace.
Take care.

John and Linda MacDonald

Our deepest condolences to Stacey and Family. We were sad to hear of Dana’s passing. He was such a kind and caring man! We loved seeing him whenever they came out to Alberta to see Roger. He was always so thoughtful and kept in touch with our family after Roger and then Lydia passed. We thought of him often (and Ellie as well) and they will continue to be in our hearts. Sincerely, Brian and Leslie Winters ( from the Alberta family)
