McNutt, Donald Edmund "Donnie", 80, of Brentwood, and formerly of Alton, passed away Saturday, June 4, 2016, in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre Truro. Born in Truro, he was a son of the late Edmund and Helen (George) McNutt. Donnie was retired from the Canadian National Railway, where he worked for 35 years. Most of his life, his passion for horses took him to the Truro Raceway, many horse shows, and to the United States, looking for that perfect horse. In later years he fostered a love of hockey with his grandson, to his practices and games. This interest took them on a few shopping trips for hockey gear and discussions on the best moves to use to play the game. Donnie is survived by his wife, the former Diane (McNutt) McNutt, Truro; daughter, Kelly (Michael) Miller, Alton; grandson, Christopher; step-daughter, Vanessa (Andrew), Bible Hill; step-grandchildren, Breanna and Colum; sister, Marlene (Don) MacPherson, Bible Hill. He was predeceased by his first wife, the former Sylvia (Miller) McNutt; son, Kim McNutt; brother, Reg McNutt. No visitation by request. Funeral service will be held 2pm Wednesday, June 8, in the Mattatall ~ Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro, Pastor Ken Banks officiating. Reception to follow in the funeral home.
