“He had such a good read on people,” O’Donovan told KTW reporter Marty Hastings. “If you were struggling, he had a way of making you feel good pretty quick. He was such a hard worker and he’ll be sorely missed, for sure.” Indeed he did and indeed he will. Don died on June 30 after suffering a heart attack while golfing at Kamloops Golf and Country Club. He was very well known throughout the community, in the past five years as head of the Blazers and before that via his years in leading Kamloops This Week and other newspapers in the B.C. Interior.
We went out there and did the best we could, Hubert said. I m obviously shook up. The Blazers released a statement on Wednesday regarding his passing. “We are saddened and heartbroken of the sudden passing of our president & COO, Don Moores, earlier today,” the team’s statement reads. “Don was a dedicated family man and a pillar in the community being born and raised in Kamloops. Don worked tirelessly over the past five years in making the Kamloops Blazers a leading organization in the WHL. The Blazers family is devastated at the loss. Don and his family are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.”
