Obituary for Douglas William Dawkins
June 11, 2016
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Douglas Dawkins on Saturday June 11th unexpectedly at his home in Hamilton. Doug started at the brewery in 1990 on the bottling line and over the years worked his way up to President of Wellington Brewery. His passion, kindness, and generosity have been an inspiration to everyone who has known him. We simply cannot put into words the extreme loss and heartache we all feel. He was a dear Father, Son, Brother, and friend to many. He will be missed.
Doug Dawkins, age 46 years, dear friend of Roxanne Bevan and her son Nolan. Dear father of Maddox and Jonah. Dear son of Bill and Pat Dawkins of Guelph. Dear brother of Derek (Alli) of Baden, and Sarah (Ian) of Guelph. Survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Pre-deceased by his grandparents Doug and Vera Dawkins and Oscar and Rowena Manes.
Friends will be received at the Gilbert MacIntyre a Son Funeral Home, Hart Chapel, 1099 Gordon St., Guelph (Friday 12:00 – 2:00 p.m.), where a Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Friday afternoon, June 17, at 3 o’clock. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Children’s Foundation of Guelph Wellington; Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity of one’s choice would be much appreciated.
