Obituary for Vernon Evert Nylander
Peacefully, after a brief illness, Vernon Evert Nylander passed away on August 1st, 2013 at the age of 81 years. Left to cherish Vernon’s memory are his three children and their families: Bryan (Marion) Nylander of North Battleford, SK: Erika Nylander (Keith Adolph) and Kristeen (Perry) Thiessen; Garland (Cindy) Nylander of Wembley, AB: Travis McLeod and Tyler (Lindsay) Nylander - Madden and Abigail; Linda (Andy) Horosko of Winnipeg, MB: John Horosko (Amanda Beales), Laura Horosko and Mark Horosko. Vernon was predeceased by his loving wife of 57 years Florence in 2008; his parents Eric Gunnar and Marta Kristine Nylander.
Vernon was born August 21, 1931 in Star City, Saskatchewan where he attended Oriole School. In 1943 his family moved to the Clemenceau area where Vernon attended the Clemenceau school. He left school at an early age to work in the logging industry. On December 1, 1951 he married Florence Victoria Kinch in Hudson Bay, SK. They lived in Clemenceau until 2002 when they retired to Hudson Bay.
Vernon was a hard-working man who worked in various industries and roles over the years - in the logging industry, with the CNR, diamond-drilling in northern Manitoba and as a millwright at Simpson Timber, as well as running a farm for many years. He managed to find time to be a good friend and active community participant – helping with the Clemenceau curling club, sports days, and the Clemenceau hall. His skills as a mechanic were legendary – he could fix almost anything and he was always willing to help a neighbour on the farm who needed his help. He loved music and played guitar and sang in a band as a young man.
Vernon will be fondly remembered as a caring son, a loving and faithful husband, a wonderful father, a teasing and proud grandfather and great grandfather and a good friend – to his neighbours in the Clemenceau area and the coffee crew here in Hudson Bay.
Don’t weep for me, my family,
Time has too quickly flown.
I’ve lived the scene of time and change,
And watched my children grown.
Don’t mourn too long, my family
Rejoice in memories of the past.
I’ve gone to join the others,
I’ve gone home at last.
