In Celebration of

Dr. Winston Melvyn Jong

February 14, 1941 -  August 13, 2025


It is with deep love and profound sadness that the family of Dr. Winston Melvyn Jong announces his passing on August 13, 2025, at the age of 84.

Born on February 14, 1941, Winston studied medicine at the University of Toronto School of Medicine, graduating in 1968. He went on to an illustrious career in Obstetrics and Gynecology, delivering more than 10,000 babies over the course of his practice. Among his many professional milestones, Winston had the honour of delivering the very first baby at Credit Valley Hospital, where he later served as Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the President of the Credit Valley Medical Staff Association.

After retiring from obstetrics in 2006, Winston dedicated himself to helping families realize their dreams of parenthood through his fertility practice, continuing this meaningful work until his full retirement in 2019. His tireless compassion, skill, and unwavering commitment left a lasting legacy in the lives of countless families.

Outside of medicine, Winston was a passionate golfer and skier, and a proud member of St. George’s Golf and Country Club. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family, whose love and companionship were the greatest joys of his life.

Winston is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife Susan, his children Kimberly, David (Andrea), and Matthew (Keely), and his treasured grandchildren Johnny, William, James, Alexis, Mackenzie, and Jackson. He is also survived by his brother Raynard (Maggie) and his sister Roberta (Nelson). He was predeceased by his beloved parents, Albert and Rose, and his loyal golden retriever, Marshal.

He will forever be remembered for his warmth, wit, gentlemanly grace, sense of humor, and his legendary martini. Winston leaves behind not only a legacy of medical excellence, but also a life defined by love, laughter, and family.

I met Winston way back in 2001 on his second trip to Ireland to play golf. He was a founding member of Doonbeg golf club in Co Clare, and always spoke of his joy and passion for the game and being part of something new here in Ireland. I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to partner Winston at an early member guest competition at Doonbeg. Through the backdrop of golf, our families formed a wonderful bond and the Irish side were so upset and devastated to hear the sad news of Winston passing.
Winston visited Ireland many times with different groups of golfers and family members, and was a great supporter of my golfing business from day one.
My son Sam passed away back in 2014 aged 21 and Winston and his family was there throughout it all, by our side, always on hand to chat and listen, a true and loyal band of friends. Ireland, and the general golfing world are a little less now, not having this wonderful man walk the fairways with us.
May he rest in peace.
