It is with great sadness that the family of Donn Hanna announce his passing on October 16, 2021 at the age of 74 years.

Donn was predeceased by his father Sam. He is survived by his mother Jean; his wife of 49 years, Patti; his 2 sons, Ryan (Emilie) and Richard; as well as his 3 sisters, Lois, Karen and Julie.

Donn was born in Oxbow, SK and, even though he moved as a teenager to Portage la Prairie, he always considered Saskatchewan home. After graduating from Portage Collegiate Institute, he moved to Winnipeg to pursue further education and completed his Civil Technology training. Donn later started his own home building business, applying creative innovations to his housing designs. Later in life, he applied his creativity to three self-published books.

Donn had a special attachment to Delta Beach, spending many hours helping to maintain the family cottage.

A private interment will be held at a later date. In the meantime, the family kindly requests that all of Donn’s friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing memories, and stories using the comment section on this page.
