Donnie Fields

Passed away peacefully on December 31, 2016, age 70, at Hospice of Windsor with his family by his side. Born May 23, 1946 in Riverside, to parents Orval (d. 1963) and Cecile (nee Robert, d. November 20, 2016, age 103), Donnie leaves his wife and best friend of 45 years, Susan (Sloan) along with their two children, Stephanie Mingay (Jeff) and Ryan Fields, both of Toronto. His granddaughter, Abigail Mingay, will forever cherish her memories and time spent with "Pup". Also his sisters Carol Siddall and Marilyn Hamelin (Bob d. 1999), and their families; brothers-in-law Bob Sloan (d. October 27, 2016) and Steve Sloan of London, his wife Terri, and their families. Don had a successful 26-year career at CN Rail, in Windsor. Following his retirement in 1996, Donnie re-committed himself to baseball as a player, a winning coach, championship manager, determined administrator and meticulous groundskeeper with the Tecumseh Baseball Club. Since age seven, when he started playing the game as a youngster in Riverside - under the guidance of coach and mentor, Sid Cooke - Donnie held dear a life-long passion for baseball. His commitment and influence on the Tecumseh Baseball Club over more than three decades is immeasurable. While baseball was his first love, Don also played hockey and spent years with the Belle River Goodtimers and more recently played golf with his twice weekly 'golf buddies'. Don was a 3rd degree member of the Fr. Nicholas Point Council #4375. Don and his family will be eternally grateful for the exceptional care provided by Dr. Kanjeekal and nurse Lynn; Chris and all of Donnie's "Cancer Clinic girls" who he loved to tease and shared laughs with. Also to the late Darrell Ellwood who provided Don with guidance and support upon his diagnosis with Multiple Myeloma 6.5 years ago and inspired not only Don's tireless fight but encouraged him to provide the same support to others battling the disease. Donnie lived a successful, enjoyed and inspirational life, determined, disciplined and tough to the end. Family and Friends are invited to come celebrate his life at
