It is with deep sorrow that we share the sudden passing of a dear friend and colleague, Donald “Donny” McLaren, on February 9th.
Donny was an integral part of the Quantec family from the very beginning. As one of the longest serving employees, during his 38 years with Quantec, he helped shape not only the work we do, but the culture we value.
Anyone who knew Donny will remember his easygoing nature and his ability to make people feel at ease. He had a great sense of humor and loved to play practical jokes and tell tall-tales to lighten the mood or break the boredom of camp life.
Donny was also known for his remarkable ingenuity. Whether working in the shop or in the most challenging field environments, he could fix almost anything. He was resourceful and always just a phone call away when help or advice was needed.
There are hundreds of stories and memories about the adventures he had in the field, the practical jokes he played, and the good times he shared with those who were lucky enough to know him. Donny was, and always will be, a legend!
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
