Obituary for Daniel Walter "Dan" Trudgeon

Please help us in celebrating the life achievements of Daniel Walter Trudgeon. On March 5, 2023 he left behind his biggest passions on earth: being the most loving husband, father, grandfather, trusted friend, mechanic, amateur dancer, dog lover and classic car appreciator. Dan will now be spending his time taking long walks, relaxing and... who are we kidding... we know he is still going to be dancing, listening to country classics, building furniture, fixing things, reuniting with his dogs Bruiser, Zoey and Jammer and learning more facts than Cliff Clavin could dream of. He will be warmly embraced by his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Joan and Ken MacCannell, and brother-in-law Darryl MacCannell.

Back on earth, his wife Debbie Trudgeon (MacCannell), children Justin (Kelsey) Trudgeon and Bailey (Andrew) Trudgeon, will be passing along all of his advice, stories and wisdom to his best buddy and grandson, Bennett Trudgeon and will make sure that his Watson dog always has someone to play with. Dan’s parents Ellwood and Diane Trudgeon will remember the hard work Dan did to always take care of them. He cherished getting the family horses ready for the many parades they showed in, alongside the help of his siblings Ivan Trudgeon and Carol Trudgeon. ‘Walt’ will be remembered by his ‘bestie’ and sister-in-law, Dana Neill and brother-in-law Brent Neill. His nieces Stephanie (Frank) Frizell, Samantha (Ryan) Aldcorn, and Jillian (Cam) Petersen will pass along stories of their Uncle Dan to their children Cassidy Young, Ryder and Rowdy Aldcorn, and Molly Petersen.

We invite you to honour Dan’s loving spirit, strength and accomplishments at a Celebration of Life on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at the Dundalk Community Centre, 550 Main Street East, Dundalk from 1-4 p.m. with the service to start at 1:30 p.m. Our wish is that donations be made to The Centre Grey Health Services Foundation.

You were the hero of your own story. We miss you so much already and we will watch for all of the little signs that you’re here supporting us every step of the way.
