Donald Myrwood Scott (known to family and friends as Myrwood), age 85 of
Mississauga, ON, passed away peacefully on the evening of October 28th, 2026, at
Amica Georgetown, after fighting a battle with Parkinson’s. He was a remarkably loving
man who was always ready to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
Born in July 1941 in Barrie, ON, Myrwood grew up as the second oldest of seven
children. He attended Barrie Central Collegiate and built a life centered around
dedication, hard work, and family. Throughout his career, he brought his strong work
ethic to his roles at Parsons Precast and Sears Canada.
Myrwood was predeceased by his first wife, Carol Brandon, with whom he shared two
children, as well as his sister Ann and brothers Gary, and Glen.
Myrwood leaves behind a large, devoted family who will miss him dearly. He is survived
by his second wife, Cynthia. He was the proud and loving father of his son, David
(Cathy), and his daughter, Heather (Barry). His legacy lives on through his cherished
grandchildren, Christopher (Victoria), Tyler (Kenny), Darien (Andrew), Matt (Emma) and
his great-grandchildren Wrenley and Banks.
Lovingly embraced Cynthia’s children, her daughter Cathy (Rick) and her son Rob
(Judy). Grandchildren Mark (Shannon), Mackenzie (Michelle), Krista (Karl) and Jeff
(Natalie), and her great-grandchildren, Aria, Zoe, Natalie, Allison, Theo, Brendan and
Callista.
Myrwood is also lovingly remembered by his surviving siblings, Eleanor (Don), Jean
(Doug), and Doug (Jane).
The family extends their deepest gratitude to the Nurses and Personal Support Workers
(PSWs) at Amica Georgetown, the Acclaim Health Palliative Care Team and Priya
Sharma (NP) for their exceptional care, compassion, and support during his time there.
