Obituary of Donald Rosso

Donald Rosso
March 25, 1957 – January 2, 2025

In Loving care and comfort, surrounded by loved ones, Donald Rosso passed at St. Joseph’s Hospice in London on Thursday, January 2, 2025, at the age of 67. He is survived by his partner of 17 years Deborah Donaghey, his daughter Ashley Rosso (Justin Demelo) and precious grandbaby Felix of London and his brother Kenny Rosso of London. He is predeceased by his parents Joseph Rosso and Dorothy Rosso (nee Jones) and his brother Bobby. He will be fondly remembered by numerous friends and followers. 

Don worked as a child and youth counselor and also owned and operated juice bars and Tiki bars throughout the city. For the past number of years he immensely enjoyed travelling the world as the foremost professional Donald Trump impersonator, known as Billionaire Donald/Russell White. Don always had a positive outlook on life and lived it to the fullest with great optimism. He had a wonderful sense of humour and a kind and giving nature. He had a love of music, with a particular passion for jazz and he and Deb travelled yearly to jazz festivals and performances to see their many jazz idols. He loved track & field, volleyball, tennis and footie. His all time favourite place to be was at the beach. 

He fought his disease of Multiple Myeloma to the bitter end and never gave up on his will to live. Cremation has taken place and arrangements have been entrusted to AFO, London. A big, huge Celebration of Life will be held at a later date during the warm weather. If desired, donations to St. Joseph’s Hospice would be appreciated by his family.  Online condolences may be left at www.funeraloptions.ca
