It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Don “Donny” Johnston on Thursday, March 19th, 2026 in his 65th year. He was a loving and cherished son, brother, brother-in-law, favourite Uncle and GREAT Uncle who left us peacefully surrounded by love. Don was devoted to his family, a loyal friend, and someone whose quiet strength and thoughtfulness touched everyone who knew him.
Don will be remembered for his resilience, his quiet determination, and the way he cared deeply for those closest to him. Even during life’s most difficult moments, he showed courage, compassion and a strong sense of humour. He had a way of making people feel good, always exhibiting a lending hand or his quick, dry sense of humour. Don was a long-time member of the High Rollers, Dundas Legion and participated in Wednesday Snooker games.
Don will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family; mother Mary Johnston, father Gord (predeceased), sister Cindy Westoby (Bill), Jack Johnston (Donna), Ken Johnston (Lynn). Uncle to Jeremy Johnston (Mandy), Jodi MacDonald (Rob), Jenna Johnston (Matt), Jamie Johnston (Kate), Joey Johnston (Lexi) and Jaclyn Johnston as well as 12 great-nieces and nephews. Long time and devoted friend to Don, Wayne, Eldie, Dolly and Steve. A special thank you goes out to the wonderful, caring and compassionate staff at Margaret’s Place Hospice.
A private family gathering will be held to honour Don’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Margaret’s Place Hospice in Dundas.
We invite family and friends to join us in celebrating the life of Donny. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at the Dundas Legion, 280 King Street west Dundas from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Please come share your memories, stories, and love as we honor Donny’s life together.
Very sorry for your loss. Our heartfelt condolences to Donny’s family and friends.

Our deepest condolences to the Johnston family on the passing of Donnie. I worked with Donnie in 1984/85 when he was shipper/receiver at J W Anderson Company. He was well liked by his co-workers.
