Donald Barshay Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Donald Barshay of Boulder, Colorado, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who passed away on August 9, 2021, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Alfred Julius Barshay and Thelma Heiman Barshay. He is survived by: his son Demian Barshay; his grandchildren, Maija and Evan; his brother Robert (Patty); his nephew Howard; his niece Tami Levey (Steve); his aunt Bunny; his uncle Eddie Solomon; his close friend Ruth Blackmore; and his former wife Leena Barshay.
After three failed operations to repair the hip, as well as two months in hospitals and rehabs where he experienced more falls, his dementia got worse and he caught Covid. Once he recovered from Covid, Don was brought home by February I, 2021 for round the clock care provided by Home Instead and Elevations Hospice.
In the meantime, knowing Don had a soft spot in his heart for all mistreated animals, if you wish to make a donation to any animal shelter or rescue organization of your choice in remembrance of Don, that would be greatly appreciated.
