Obituary of Donny Chabot

Passed away suddenly at the Sault Area Hospital, with his family by his side, on Sunday, July 14, 2024 at the age of 57. He is now reunited with his parents Donald Chabot Sr. and Mima Chabot (McKay) and his older brother Richard Ryan. He will be greatly missed by his brother Rob (Tammy) and his nieces Brooke, Paige and Cassie.

Donny had a challenging life with some battles, but it never interfered with his comedic wit, compassion for others and his genuine willingness to give anyone the shirt off his back. He had a passion for music and an incredible knowledge for songs and artists – he was a “human jukebox”.

At Donny’s request, no services will be held. Memorial donations in Donny’s name can be made to the Sault Ste. Marie Soup Kitchen Community Centre. A heartfelt thank you to the Paramedics and the SAH ICU staff for the care and compassion shown to Donny. Arrangements entrusted to Northwood Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre (942 Great Northern Rd, 705-945-7758). 

When I come to the end of the road

and the sun has set for me

 I want no rites in a gloom filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free? 

Miss me a little, but not too long

and not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared,

 Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take

and each must go alone.

It’s all a part of the Maker’s plan,

 a step on the road to home,

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows

In doing good deeds

Miss Me, but let me go.
