<div>OBITUARY FOR DR. WILLIAM DOUGLAS FLEURY:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Passed unexpectedly with family by his side on Saturday September 9, 2023 at Victoria Hospital, London, Ontario in his 45th year. Lovingly known by so many as ‘Dr. Will’ the Veterinarian of the Byron Animal Clinic and as the beloved husband and soul mate of Andrea Fleury (nee Tierney). Proud Dada of young sons Lincoln age 7 and Evan Fleury age 5. Cherished son of Paul and Susan Fleury, brother of Jessica Kathleen and brother-in-law of Stephane Martel, all of London. Loved grandson of Sophie Jackson of Sarnia. Son-in-law of Mike and Jean Tierney of Woodstock and brother-in-law Darren Tierney of Montreal. Loving uncle of Ashlyn and Bryson Martel and many other supportive aunts, uncles and cousins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Will graduated from Western University with an Honours Degree in Biology. He thereafter was accepted into, and graduated from, the Ontario Veterinary College (University of Guelph - 2005). He worked at a variety of animal clinics
</div>
<div>in the London area until he became the owner and operator of the Byron Animal Clinic in 2013. As this all evolved, Will said he felt truly blessed to have, “the best job in the world in one of the best cities in Canada”. Noteworthy also - under his leadership, his clinic on occasion was voted the ‘Best’ Veterinary Clinic in London. When this was awarded, he could not have been more proud. His staff also stood tall when this happened as they always were so ‘reliable and professional’. Will often remarked that he was so fortunate to be associated with such excellent staff.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will was 6’ 5” tall. He loved basketball and excelled at it – particularly in high school. His favourite team – the Toronto Raptors. His all time idol – Michael Jordan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Will’s working style was to meet his dog patients where they were - on the floor - despite his height. He was routinely known for sitting cross-legged while conducting his examinations. So many enjoyed the connection he always made and more importantly marveled at his talent, knowledge and skill. Dr. Will was a gentle giant who gave a voice to his voiceless animal patients and truly was a hero.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All will miss Dr. Will but nobody more so than his immediate family, relatives and loved ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cremation has taken place. A date for a Celebration of Will’s life will be announced in the near future. Interment will be in Woodland Cemetery, London – a place where Dr. Will and his family used to go to observe the many deer and other wildlife.
</div>

<div>In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the two surviving children.
