Wayne Arthur Dawson, age 82, of Swift Current SK, passed away on October 24, 2016, at The Meadows. The Celebration of Life was held at 2:00, October 29, 2016, at Riverview Village Estates. The organist was Joan Williamson and the eulogist was Marvin Allan. The interment service will be held at Neville Cemetery at a later date. The honorary urn bearers were Wayne's grandchildren. Wayne is survived by his wife, Alice (nee Robitaille); daughters, Shelley (Claude) Briere, Deanna Dawson, Judy (Henry) Vanderleest; grandchildren, Natasha (Travis) Monk, Nathan Briere, Nicholas Briere, Rihana (Josh) Posehn, Nicole Vanderleest, Calvin Vanderleest; and numerous four legged grand and great-grand puppies and kittens. He was predeceased by his parents, George and May Dawson, and his brother, Alan. Wayne attended school at Neville and Swift Current Collegiate. Wayne, as any farmer does, had a second career as an electrician. He began farming grain and cattle in 1960 on the Dawson farmstead near Neville until 2000, when they moved to retire to Lac Pelletier. Wayne and Alice were fortunate to spend 33 consecutive winters at Roadhaven Resort in Arizona where they enjoyed golfing, baseball and made many long-lasting friendships. In 2013, they moved to Swift Current and then to Riverview Village Estates in March 2016. Wayne was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Neville Credit Union Board, and was instrumental in getting Whiska Creek stocked with brook trout for the pleasure of all local fishermen. Wayne enjoyed fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, camping and golfing. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. Tara Lee, the staff at Cypress Regional Hospital, The Meadows, Swift Current Home Care and the management and staff of Riverview Estates for the love and care they showed to our husband, father and grandfather. Donations in Wayne's memory may be made to the Dr. Noble Irwin Regional Health Care Foundation Inc. - Palliative Care, 2051 Saskatchewan Drive, Swift Current SK S9H 0X6. Warren's Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements.
