It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart the family of Wayne Wright announce his sudden passing on September 22, 2024 in Rockhaven, Saskatchewan at the age of 71 years.

Left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory is his loving family; daughters, Meaghan (Douglas) Maga of Esterhazy, SK, Stephanie (Blaine) Bentley of Battleford, SK and Susan (James) Minty of Dalmeny, SK. Wayne also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren; Hannah Maga, Fynn Bentley, Ava Minty, Parker Maga, Emma Minty, Tabitha Bentley; as well one brother, Terry Wright of Regina, SK and a host of treasured friends.

Wayne was predeceased by his parents: Bob and Lee Wright, sister, Julie Wright and brother, Howard Wright.

He loved his kids and grandkids more than anything, he was so proud of us and who we became. He was a kind man with a huge heart, a big smile and a bigger laugh. Anyone who knows Wayne will tell you he was a great guy. He worked hard and was so accomplished, but he would tell you those were just things he did.

He lived life on his own terms with a wild spirit that persisted throughout. He loved to drive the boat fast to the delight (and sometimes terror) of the grandkids and told many tales of crazy adventures that he had been on. Wayne loved to hunt, fish, farm, and do anything outdoors especially if his girls were along. He loved a hot coffee with cream and sugar and a good book, he had a curious nature and was tickled pink to learn anything new. His deep-dish pies were famous across the land.  These memories are ones that we will cherish forever.

A Come and Go Celebration of Life will be held for Wayne on Friday, October 4, 2024 from 1-3 p.m. held at the North Battleford City Kinsmen Band Hall – 1801 104th St North Battleford, SK .

The family suggests that if desired, a donation can be made to the North Battleford Rotary Club Box 745 – North Battleford SK, S9A 2Y9 — email: battlefordsrotary@gmail.com  in Wayne’s memory.

Condolences for the family can be made at www.eternalmemoriesfuneral.ca Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Eternal Memories Funeral Service and Crematorium- Tim Scaife Funeral Director.
