It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, DONALD IMRIE ANDERSON FIELDING, at the Claresholm Health Centre, on Saturday, December 9, 2017 at the age of 70 years.
Donald was born in Blackpool, England and spent most of his formative years in the Lake District. He immigrated to Canada in January of 1969, settling in the Toronto area. He met his wife Anne in November of that year, and they were married three months later. Their first son Chris was born in 1976, and their twin sons Michael and Andrew followed in 1979.
Donald's flying career spanned many decades and continents starting with P.W.A. as a Second Officer in 1973, then continuing on with Canadian Airlines and finally retiring as Captain on the 767 with Air Canada in 2007.
Donald's quick, quirky humour was legendary and usually caught most people off guard. No matter how long he knew someone, he always seemed to make a lasting impression. His fun-loving ways will be missed by all his family and friends.
He is survived by his loving wife, Anne, son Chris (Jackie) and their children Clara, Harrison and Hanna; and son Michael and his son Daniel. He will be especially missed by his daughter-in-love, Tina, and also by Carmen and Mel; nieces, nephews and numerous family relations.
Donald was predeceased by his parents, his sister Carole and son Andrew. Donald is now walking on streets of gold, glorifying the Lord and being repeatedly subjected to his mother-in-law's poetry!!!
A Celebration of Donald's Life will be held at THIRD DAY CHURCH, #90, 550 WT Hill Blvd. South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, December 16, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. with Pastor Dick Deweert officiating. A Private Family Interment at Mountain View Cemetery will precede the service.
In lieu of flowers and in memory of Donald, donations may be made to Dominion Broadcasting Society, c/o Third Day Church, #90, 550 WT Hill Blvd. South, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 4Z9.

I'm so sorry to just learn about Don's passing. As you know, Don was a patient, but became a great friend also. One of the only patients who had my personal phone number. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. He was truly an amazing man, and the most humble person I've met in my career.
I am very sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was always one of my favourite Captains and I fondly recall his dry quick wit. My deepest sympathies and courage for his family. Bob Stamers, AC
I am very sorry to hear of Don's passing. We flew together many times and I always appreciated his professionalism and good company. May his last flight be a smooth one. My condolences to his family.
It was with shock and sadness when I received the news of my fellow pilot and friends death. Don was a loyal and loving Christian husband and friend whom, although I have not seen for a while, I will miss. My heartfelt condolences to Ann and the family. Rest in peace my friend, you are now in the comfort of the Lord's presence.
Anne, Chris, Michael, We were deeply saddened to hear about Don. Our thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow. Please accept our condolences for you and your entire family, from the doctors and staff at Harper Chiropractic.
Sending prayers and deepest condolences to Mrs. Fielding, Chris & Jackie, Mike, and their families. Mr. Fielding will be greatly missed by all who know him. I will always remember his quick wit and easy laugh, and great big smile for everyone! Rest well Mr Fielding, see you again.
