Vernon (Bun) Thom passed away on May 21, 2023 in Edam, Saskatchewan at the age of 92.

Dad was born and raised on the farm west of Edam in the Poplar Dell District.  He loved all aspects of farm life and worked hard for what he had.  Dad had a great love for horses and family.  He enjoyed many hours spent with his horses throughout the years.  Dad also enjoyed his friends over the years and activities such as snowmobiling, dancing and riding his quad and motorcycle.

He moved to his second permanent home in Edam in 1981, where he and mom enjoyed many years living the town life, including going for morning coffee and later riding his scooter around town.

Dad was very lucky to be able to move into the Edam Enriched Manor May of 2015 and into Lady Minto Health Care Facility in December 2020.  Other than a short time away working down east and in Edmonton he always called Edam home, which was truly a blessing.

Bun is lovingly remembered by his daughter Wendy (Linton) and their daughter Nicola; daughter Tannys and her daughter Meagan (Jason).  Sisters Lois (Lloyd) Wilson, Lola (Don) Draper and sister-in-law Vi Thom; as well as nieces and nephews.

Bun is predeceased by his loving wife Shirley, his brother Bill, his mother Jeanette and father Harold; as well as; his mother and father-in-law Florence and Roy Down; sisters and brothers-in-law Jean and Jim Kuzyk, Mickey and Ray Russell, Marion and Marcel deMontarnal; as well as nieces: Barb Luciw and Betty Kuzyk and nephew Marcel deMontarnal.
