Jamieson: With great sadness, the family of Mr. Elvin Jamieson announce his passing on September 22, 2022, at the age of 64 years.  A funeral service was held Wednesday, September 28th at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in North Battleford with Reverend Trevor Malyon officiating.  Left to cherish his memory is Valerie (North Battleford, SK.), and their three children; Scott (North Battleford, SK.), Devin (Southampton, MA), Tarryn (Jordan) Pernala (Battleford, SK.), and grandchildren Berklee and Kooper Pernala.  Elvin is survived by his sisters Dorothy (Nels) Andersen; Marian (Charlie) Sayers; his sister-in-law Judy Jamieson; his brothers Wes (Donna) Jamieson, Gilbert (Claudette) Jamieson, Clifford (Janice) Jamieson, and numerous nieces and nephews.  He is predeceased by his parents George and Ethel Jamieson, his brother Ken Jamieson, and nephew Nix Andersen.

Elvin was born January 23,1958 in North Battleford, Sask. and was raised on the family farm at Highgate, Sask.  He grew up assuming farm chores with his parents and siblings and following the family tradition in the Highgate 4-H Beef Club, raising project calves. After graduation from North Battleford Comprehensive High School, he worked with his brother Wes with Tri-City Surveys at the future Key Lake Mine Site, and as a ski technician at Hunter’s Sport Shop in North Battleford. He married his wife, Valerie in 1983, and they moved to the family farm at Highgate where they raised their three children. Elvin spent his winters as an instructor and Ski School Director at Table Mountain Regional Park for many years. He always shared his passion for skiing and had a mountain of energy teaching adults and children in Nancy Greene, Ski Wee, Grade 5-12 School Programs, and the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiers.  Elvin was a hard worker – along with his farm chores, he helped tend a large garden and orchard, and always found time to help his children pursue their wide range of interests. Anything was possible: from purchasing obnoxiously loud musical instruments, attending dance conferences, snowboard trips, and baseball games, to caring for a small herd of wild horses.

Elvin was very devoted to his family, and a kind and generous neighbor and friend.  He will be remembered most for his warmth and compassion, his tender care for many kinds of animals, his smile, and his ability to make you laugh with his quick sense of humor.

In our loss, we are all comforted knowing he is at peace.  Someone so special can never be forgotten.
