Gary Lynn Wason

It is with heavy hearts that we as a family along with his construction family, announce the passing of Gary Lynn Wason on March 22, 2025, in Neuanlage, SK, at the age of 77. Gary was born on June 9, 1947, in Imperial, SK. to Roy and Mary Wason. He spent his early years growing up in the Regina area, left home at 15 years old where he went to work for PFRA Crew learning to Survey…then moving on to Northern Saskatchewan and Whitehorse getting into Road Construction, operating Heavy Equipment and becoming Foreman and a Superintendent in Alberta, BC, the Yukon and the Arctic. He loved running the Dozer and was employed with many great companies along his life’s journey. One of his Proudest moments started in Golden, BC was getting Flatiron Constructors Canada Ltd. operating in Canada.

He was meticulous when it came to equipment, vehicles, his home, and yard work. He was a great Mentor to many in the Construction Industry, making a lot of Lifetime friends along the way.

He leaves behind his partner, Karen, his sons Troy, Dustin and Kevin. His Brothers and Sisters, Donna, Danny, Darren [Irene], Connie, Debbie, and Brian. Nieces, Nephews, and Grandchildren. His chosen Family, Des, Brian, Tyce and Harley, and Jarratt. His beloved Companion, Rico.

Predeceased by his parents, Roy and Lynn Wason, and Birthmother Mary Nolting. His brother, Bernie Wason, and loving Grandparents.

Gary's leisure time was spent taking off in the Motorhome or spending time in his Shop/Man Cave making his Bird feeders and Houses and having a Beer or 3 with his Wonderful Neighbours. His favorite song: A Thousand Miles from Nowhere… and that’s usually where he was.

Closing Comments from Gary, who had a big heart, no filters, and always spoke what he thought would be: *It only takes 2 beers to cut the Grass! *I used to like you! * Don’t Go There! * The only thing that gets me excited is driving past a Construction site and seeing all that brand new Equipment! *

This Louder and Larger than Life Partner, Father, Friend, Brother, Uncle, and Grandfather will be Greatly Missed.

Donations may be made in Gary's name to the New Hope Dog Rescue or charity of your choice. 

Martens Warman Funeral Home is honoured to be entrusted with Mr. Gary Wason's care and arrangements.
