Lacombe Kinsmen Club

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our members and brothers; Dr. Jonathan Dolman. Jon was an exemplary member of our club, and a shining example of what we stand for; serving the community's greatest needs. Even as Jon was courageously battling his illness, he still made time to attend as many Kin Meetings as possible, contributing his passion and ideas to our committees, events and fundraisers that help to make a difference in Lacombe and area. ... Jon's heart was behind everything he did, and our club greatly benefitted from his kindness, generosity and compassion. It is for these reasons and more that Jon's name will forever be etched upon the Bain Trophy - our club's most prestigious award presented to the Kinsman of the Year. Though Jon knew that this day may come, he took great care to live each moment to its fullest, and exuded a contagious positivity that put our minds at ease and allowed us to share our meals, our jokes and our laughs with one another. Our club will miss those moments, Jon. Our most sincere thoughts go out to his wife Ashley and daughters Sadie and Annabelle, as well as his family, friends, colleagues and relatives who are no doubt mourning as we are the loss of this incredible man. Condolences and contributions in Jon's name may be made by following the link below. From your Lacombe Kinsmen Brothers: Thank-you Jon. We loved you as much as you loved us.
