Obituary of Donald George Wallace

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Don Wallace on December 14th, 2023 at his home in Kimberley BC. Mourning his loss is his beloved wife of 44 years, Susan, his children Micaela (Craig) and Jared, his sister Helen Jensen and numerous relatives and friends.

Don had some unique final wishes - one of them being the contribution of his body to the University of British Columbia for the advancement of medicine through anatomical study.

Another unique request that will come as a complete surprise to most of you is that he didn’t want any type of funeral or event. We know this is bizarre, given his larger than life personality and love of attention - but hey, we all know Don gets what he wants!

It is impossible to do Don’s life story justice in an obituary. Please periodically check rememberingdonwallace.com where we will curate a loving account of his life in due time.

In Don’s memory and in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Anatomical Sciences Research Endowment Fund at UBC.
