Aug 17, 1949 – Oct 24, 2024

It is with great sadness that the family of Ted Wilson announces the passing of their beloved husband, father and Grandfather on Thursday, October 24, 2024 at the age of 75 years.

Ted was born to Harold and Vera Wilson of Dalton, Saskatchewan on August 17, 1949. Growing up in the area on the farm, breaking horses, ploughing fields, hunting and fishing. Ted had a lengthy career in the oil patch which took him from offshore drilling on the East coast to the Arctic, Dubai and France along with fighting fires in Kuwait, Ted had seen much of the world.

Ted retired in Fort Saskatchewan/Gibbons, Alberta on an acreage with his wife Sharon where they raised Australian shepherds, gave his two granddaughters tractor rides, and accidentally mixing up weed spray and round up (the grass never looked better after it came back). After 11 years on the acreage they moved to the town of Gibbons where they would meet up with the “old boys and girls” for coffee and conversation 2 days a week. The last year has been filled with projects and love around the house with more and more obstacles to drive around when cutting the grass, although he may have complained about them getting in the way, he never did say no to any of the projects Sharon dreamt up.

Ted will be remembered as a humble, strong, memorable and brave cowboy. He is survived by his wife, sons and their spouses, daughter and 2 granddaughters, his brother and sister along with their families.

In lieu of flowers, please send any donations to the Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital Foundation in memory of Ted Wilson.

In respect of Ted’s wishes no service will be held and cremation has taken place.

He grew up in Alonsa with his two brothers Thomas and Paul. Being from a Ukrainian family he was lucky to have his Baba living next door where he got to spend time with his cousin Mervin. Leonard left home at a young age to go to Winnipeg in search of employment where he secured his first job at a candy factory. Through out life he would find work in plumbing, carpentry, auto body repair, tow truck driving, property management, Sears, loader operator and after retirement farming. Throughout his adult life he lived in Neepawa, Riding Mountain, Edmonton and finally Redwater. On July 24, 1964 at 19 years of age Leonard dedicated himself through baptism, to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He maintained a love of the Bible and his God Jehovah throughout his life. Leonard found the love his life Judith Bays and they wed on December 16, 1967. Their marriage was to be blessed with their son Jerry and his three boys Parker, Connor and Spencer. Their daughter Jayde, her husband Jason and their boys Jude and Jackson. Their youngest daughter Janessa and her husband Rylan. Leonard loved his family and enjoyed all the time he got to spend with them. He made many memories with his grandsons while cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays, the Edmonton Oilers and sharing stories of his tow truck days. He also loved to dance and tell stories that would have everyone laughing within minutes. He had a large collection of shot glasses and ball caps, but his favourite collection that brought him great comfort was his collection of family photos. He was always very close with his brothers Thomas (Jeannette) and Paul (Marlene) even when health declined he did his best to keep a relationship with them. In later years his declining health required him and Judith to move in with Jayde and her family. Though it was a big change it allowed more time with his grandsons that he enjoyed spending time with.
