With sadness the family of Donald Morris Dolgopol of Consul, Saskatchewan announces his passing at the Maple Creek Hospital on Wednesday, June 7, 2017, at the age of 71 years. Don was born in Medicine Hat on July 24, 1945, an only child to Nick and Rosy Dolgopol. He attended a small country school in Little West and finished his schooling in Consul. He was raised on the family farm where he worked along side his dad from a young age and learned the value of a hard days work. Don married Beverley Lee on October 22, 1965 in Maple Creek and raised a family of four children. Ranching was his life… from roping to horse drawn equipment, he loved life in the country. In the early 60’s, he began riding with the PFRA and rode up until 2016. Don had a keen interest in draft horses, was knowledgeable in history and had an extensive horse bit collection. He was a founding member of the Harness Club and was a licensed pilot who loved to fly!

Don will be deeply missed by his wife, Bev; four children and five grandchildren: Stacey Dolgopol, Shawna (Chris) Bertram – (Tyrel, Monty and Marty), Shane (Tammie) Dolgopol – (Keylee and Kole), Robert Dolgopol.
