Donald Morkis

My deepest condolences to you all. I worked with Don at ICSS for a brief period. He was a kind and gentle soul with a deep passion for humanity. May he rest in peace

I am so sorry for your great loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. I remember Donald as a sweet, soft-spoken, gentle being and feel saddened at his passing…although it is my understanding that his spirit will live on. May he have a speedy, auspicious rebirth. And may you all be well and happy. With much love and blessings, from his cousin on Gabriola island, British Columbia.

Dear Rowan, I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a very good friend of mine in high school and early university days. His giving nature, sense of humour and need to be a free spirit are qualities that remain with me. We had a lot of fun together and I will cherish my memories of Don forever.

A tree is planted in memory of the deceased

My deepest condolences to you on Don's passing, which I only heard about on February 23rd. Don and I grew up on the same street in North Toronto; we were friends from grade 2 on. In my teens, I also worked for his father's contracting company. Don's loyalty as a friend was especically important during the first years of high school, when adapting to the formidable changes of that time in life was particularly challenging.

Hi Rowan, I only just found out about your dad.Words cannot express my sadness. I am very sorry for your loss. Don and I were friends going back to kindergarten and right through our teens.We had a close friendship for several years living in Vancouver. Although I haven't seen him for a long time , seldom has a week ever gone by that he hasn't been in my thoughts, particularly when I'm out in nature. .He occasionally shows up in my dreams usually as a mischievous trickster.I am blessed for having known him. I can assure you Don was deeply loved by his soul brothers, James Fisk, Jerry Mathews and myself. I hope you are well . Yours truly Peter Willson, February 24, 2024

My relationship with Donald goes back to his childhood years. Our parents were good friends and our families used to vacation together. I also spent many of my summers working for his dad. My sincerest condolences to you, his close, and extended families.
