BROWN, Donald J., Q.C. - Passed away peacefully, with his sons by his side, on February 4, 2021.
Brother of William (Eileen). Loving father of Robert (Dianne), Douglas (Loretta), Geoffery, Christopher (Monica), and Riley (Krisztina). Proud grandfather of Alexa, Danielle, Colin, Matthew, Sam, Wyatt, Donovan, Isaac, August, Avery and Axel.
Don was called to the bar in 1968 and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1980. He had been an Adjunct Professor of Law at The Stetson University College of Law, Past President of The Lawyers Club of Toronto, and a past fellow of The International Society of Barristers.
He was described by his peers as a brilliant legal mind and was revered as a trial lawyer.
Despite the fierceness and incisiveness with which Don took to his profession, he was also known as kind, charming and having an infectious sense of humour.
He was a dear friend and mentor to many, both within his profession and without. His memory lives on through his sons, grandchildren and everyone who was lucky enough to know him.
Dad, we will miss you more than words can describe.
Private family service to be held.
