Heaven has received another cowboy. Wayne Lyle Wilson passed away unexpectedly at the age of 78 years in Medicine Hat, on January 25, 2022 with his beloved wife, ShirleyAnn by his side.  Wayne was born on June 24, 1943 in Medicine Hat, grew up on Battle Creek, SK. He loved ranch life and his many toys, his favourites being skidoo’s and  airplane.  Wayne is survived by his wife of 54 years, ShirleyAnn; daughters, Tammy (Jerry) Rousseau, Tracey (Harlan) Hammel, and Stephanie (Kevin) Zacher. He adored his seven grandchildren, Kiona, Rylan, Naia, Wilson, Daxon, Micah and Jacey. The huge smile on  his face when the kids walked in the room was heartwarming. Predeceased by his father, Lyle Wilson; mother, Meda Paterson and older brother, Larry Wilson. Forever remembered by his sisters, Dixie Black and Penny Read, whom he teased mercilessly. Much loved uncle, as well as many more honourary nieces and nephews that he collected along the way. So missed by his loyal dog and best friend, Manard. He was full of mischief from a small boy and never quite grew out of it.  His smile would light up the room and there was always a lot of BS and laughter.  He enjoyed bowling, horseshoes, golf and a good game of card at which he was known to cheat (he loved to get caught!). He kept a pick in his wallet, in case he came across a banjo.  He loved to play and sing with his friends and was captain of the ‘old cowboy scooter club”. There will be a private celebration of Wayne’s life.  Those who wish to remember Wayne with a donation may do so to the Medicine Hat Ronald McDonald House, 569 4 St SW, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 4G2 or Alzheimer Society, 201, 770 – 6th Street SW, Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 4J6.
