Donald Mikado

1964 - 2012
To know him was to love him.

The family of DON MIKADO share great sadness on the sudden passing of their dearly loved and devoted husband, father, brother and son on Thursday March 8th, 2012.

Don will be forever missed by his wife Karen Mikado, his daughters Taya and Sammy, his parents Sam and June Mikado, his brothers Richard, James (Cheimi) and Ron and his sister Patti (Jim) Spencer, mother-in-Law Mary (Adrian, deceased) Vanden Elzen, brothers-in-law Cory (Jennifer) , Jeff (Laurene) and sister-in-law Annette (James) Schnepper.

He was the fun loving uncle of Jackie, Graham (Jennifer), Madeline, Charlotte, John, Paul, Gina and Brady who will always remember him fondly.
Don will also be dearly missed by all aunts, uncles and cousins with whom he shared many extraordinary happy times.

Don was born in Magrath on April 21, 1964. He graduated from Magrath High in 1981. Don earned his degree in Pharmacy at the University of Alberta in 1988 and has worked as a pharmacist in Lethbridge ever since.
Don had a wide circle of friends in the community and was well known as an avid windsurfing, kite boarding, squash, basketball, pingpong and tennis enthusiast. He took great pride in his family, especially his daughters, spending time and playing sports with them as often as he could. Don worked in the Costco pharmacy and was proud to ride his electric bike to and from work almost every day. He lived his life to the fullest, packing every day with sports and activities, especially anything to do with the wind! He had an enthusiastic zest for life that inspired us all.

A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Thursday March 15, 2012 at SOUTHMINSTER UNITED CHURCH, 1011 - 4 Avenue South, Lethbridge, with Father Tim Boyle, officiating. Cremation will follow the funeral service.
