New Glasgow - Donald Christopher Zinck, 4 July 1962 – 3 May 2017.
After a lengthy illness, a time has passed when we had a friend. He has gone forth to the still life. His name was Chris…
Donald Christopher Zinck, a gentle, sweet soul, poet, son, brother, partner, animal lover and friend to anyone and all, will be remembered with a gentle tear by his parents John and Penny McMullin; siblings: Shelley (Cameron), Lisa (Darryl), Heidi (Mike), Geoff (Kyla), Megan (Jason) and life partner Lynn Works; his dog, Yellow, and a large loving family.
He was predeceased by his father Gordon Zinck and his grandparents Timmy and Helen Grant and Donald and Margaret Zinck.
Honour him by extending a helping hand to others and accepting people for who they are. Chris loved children, animals, fishing, listening to his favourite music, and his family. Enjoy your life by doing what you love. As Chris says, “Embrace the miracle of the human spirit”.
“My ship’s coming in; she’s bright, white and tall, living’s good, having a ball. Climb aboard, friend, the party will never end. She’s about to sail, can’t you hear the horn wail?” “Maybe I’ll send you a letter, from a place where it doesn’t get any better”.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Chris’s life will be held at R.H. Porter Funeral Home, 55 Almont Ave., New Glasgow, from 2-4 pm on Sunday, May 7.
Donations can be made to the Aberdeen Palliative Care Society.
