It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce the sudden yet peaceful passing of our beloved husband and father, Allison Wayne “Turk” Ellis, in his 73rd year, on Tuesday September 10, 2024 at the QEH, surrounded by his three girls.
Born on July 20, 1951, Allison was the fifth child and fourth son of Bruce and Beth Ellis of Stanhope. He will be forever missed by his wife of 44 years, Heather, his two daughters Megan (Michael Dziedzic) and Bethany (Mark Murdoch) and fur baby Ralphie. Allison will also be tremendously missed by his siblings Irene MacDonald, Donnie (Lorraine), Gordie (Janice), Howard (Wanda), Irwin (Carole), Janet, Preston (Martha), Norma (Mike), Sterling (Heather), siblings-in-law Billy (Linda), Strachan (Karen), Ann, Lee (Eric), Everett (Leah), Joan (the late Sterling), Kelly (John), as well as numerous beloved nieces and nephews. He also leaves to mourn the aunties he loved so much, Wanda Mallett, Marguerite Ellis and Joyce Skinner, as well as aunt Marjorie Ellis. Allison also leaves behind numerous, dear, life-long friends who ended up feeling (and are considered) more like family. He was predeceased by his parents Beth and Bruce Ellis, his infant son Zackary, parents-in-law William and Clara MacKay, brothers-in-law Sandy (the late Helen)MacKay and Sterling MacKay, as well as multiple dear friends.
As number five of ten, Allison embodied many qualities associated with middle children. He made friends easily and found connections with people no matter where he went and who he was with - the majority of these relationships lasting until his last breath. He was innovative and enjoyed jimmyrigging various things around the house with the “treasure troves” of items he saved along the way (we can’t wait to see what awaits us in his many storage barns). He was a strong team player who could be depended on in any situation - whether on the course, rink, field or to lend a helping hand to a friend or family member in need. He will be missed by his Sunday golf group, winter card group and the numerous pals made from his athletic days and while working at Island Tel.
He was an extremely proud father of both of his girls and was thrilled they had each found great men to spend their lives with and was excited for the next stages of their lives.
A life well lived was cut far too short and the void his absence has left in our hearts and lives is enormous. We will miss the greatest man we’ve ever known for the rest of our lives.
