It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Donald Wayne Albert Flett Sr at his home.
Don is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Jane with whom he enjoyed 47 yrs of adventure, love and happiness. His father Alvin Flett. His son Don Jr and Daughters Sarah (Josh) and Alissa (Derek). He will be missed terribly by his grandchildren Steven, Charlie and Samantha. His former daughter in law Natalie and son in law Ryan who he refused to let go of.
He will also be missed by brothers Alvin, Jimmy and Kenny. Sisters Brenda, Evelyn and Violet and numerous nieces and nephews. Don also had many who he considered his “adoptive daughters”: Melissa, Kim and Ginger who adored him.
Don was predeceased by his mother Louis Flett (Willman). Don was a long distance truck driver with Winnipeg Motors express and absolutely loved his job. It gave him a chance to see and travel to all the places he wanted to see. He loved to travel. He also loved to take mom on his motorcycle for a rip.
He was genuine and caring, so full of life and loved his family more than words could ever express. He was more than happy and proud to share a picture or a story of them.
Don loved to share stories. He also would call everyone from the road daily just to check in and make sure he told you that he loved you. He would give you the shirt right off his back if you needed or he would find a way to get it for you. Now Don SR is flying high.
To say we are devastated at this loss is an understatement.

Don is now flying high. I had the pleasure of seeing him a couple of years ago, here, in Lloydminster. Rest in peace, Don. You are now up in heaven with all of those who have passed on. One day we shall meet again.
your cousin,

I’ve been flooded with so many memories from the paqst and more from the last few years of our talks. I have so many regrets for the years I pulled back, we missed out on 16 years because of me. This is something I have to live with. Thank you for always telling you loved me and for telling me how proud you were of me. Thank you for being my dad, I love you. I will cherish my memories ~ Alissa

Dad,
Thank you for so many great memories and for always keeping me in your thoughts after I moved. You were the person I talked to most from Winnipeg after Squirrel left us. You put your bike on the road so I could ride down to his crash site. You always called to see how we were doing and never forgot to ask about Caleb. It was you that kept me connected to “home” so much. Thank you for always making the effort! I appreciate it more than I can ever express. I love you so much and miss you deeply! Definitely blessed to be one of the adopted daughters! Until we meet again Dad! Ginger????
