McDonald, Tyrone Russell

November 23, 1970 ~ July 16, 2021

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Tyrone R. McDonald at the age of 50 years.

Our loyal and courageous friend was raised country, lived a life of service, and dedicated his life to his country, his brothers in arm, and his community. Though he often undervalued his own sacrifices, Tyrone’s legacy of service and love will be felt long after the final bell rings. We will miss him greatly.

Tyrone will be remembered by his loving wife, Heather; children, Kira, Skye, Callum, Eliana, Jason, Erich, Jacob, Rachel, and Anton; best friend/brother, Rowan Hansen; brother, Keith Lattery; uncle, Robert Wilcox; cousins, Steve Wilcox, Charles Wilcox, and Susan Taylor; as well as numerous friends.

Tyrone was predeceased by his father, Ralph Lattery; mother, Barbara McDonald; and grandparents Charles and Claudine (nee Fandrick) McDonald, and aunt, Judy Wilcox.

A Celebration of Life will be held on July 31, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at the Wetaskiwin Drill Hall (4519-50 Avenue, Wetaskiwin, AB).

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Society of Alberta (5418-97 St NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 5C1).
