Donald “Glen” Sanderson

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Donald “Glen” Sanderson, who passed away peacefully on June 5, 2025, at Margaret Bahen Hospice in Newmarket, Ontario.

Glen was the devoted partner of Lynda, and the proud and loving father of Mitchell, Alex, Katelyn, and Steven. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister Gail, and his large extended family of nieces and nephews whom he cherished.

Glen was known for his quick wit, big heart, and unwavering commitment to those he cared about. He was deeply involved in his community over the years, offering support, understanding, and encouragement to others on their wellness journey. His story of resilience left a lasting impact on many lives.

A lifelong fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Glen followed his team with passion and unwavering hope. He loved to travel, play golf, and rarely passed up the chance to share a joke. He was a talented guitarist, often filling the house with music, especially the timeless songs of The Beatles.

Glen’s legacy is one of resilience and perseverance. He showed us the meaning of strength as he fought a valiant battle with cancer. His absence will be felt deeply, but his presence will continue to live on in all who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the Ontario SPCA York Region Animal Centre https://ontariospca.ca/yorkregion/, in honor of Glen’s deep love and devotion to his animals.

“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”
