Donald Gerard Mockler, 90, passed away at the Shannex Nursing Home in Moncton on February 19, 2025.  Born in Grand Falls, he was the son of the late Ralph and Sadie (Bourgoin) Mockler.

Donny lived in Aroostook for many years where he raised his family and worked at Maine Public Service in Tinker, NB. He moved to Sussex in 1984 where he retired at Potash Company of Saskatchewan in 1997.

Donny was an avid sportsman playing hockey, baseball, golf, and curling. He was inducted into the Wall of Fame in Grand Falls, Perth Andover, and Sussex for his accomplishments in these sports.

In his retirement years, he got great pleasure from performing magic and was known to many as Mr. Magic.  He performed for many groups, family and friends, and anyone who would watch.  Donny continued his Magic until the very end.

Donny will sadly be missed by his wife of 68 years, Evelyn (Howard); two sons: Michael (Cathy) of Fredericton and Thomas (Gabriella) of Moncton; his granddaughter, Michela of Moncton; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by an infant son, Patrick, and two brothers: Richard and Elmer.

Thank you to all the Staff at Shannex (Ocean Hall) for their great care.

In accordance to his wishes, there will be no visitation and no funeral service. In memory of Donald, a contribution to the N.B. Heart & Stroke Foundation or Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.  Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (506-858-1900).
