Raymond Donald Seguin
It is with deep sorrow that the family of Ray Seguin announces his passing on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 78 years of age.
Ray was born March 13, 1935 in Potts Township, Northwestern Ontario, to Yvonne Marie Seguin. He grew up on the farm where he learned about hard work. The lessons he learned there served him well throughout his life. From logger to tireman to heavy equipment mechanic to park ranger and everything in between, Ray was a jack-of-all-trades and a wonderful provider for his family whom he loved more than life itself.
In 1957 Ray met and married Shelva Jean Coulson in Atikokan, Ontario. Together they raised five children, but many more were made to feel the welcoming embrace of their home.
In 1979 Ray moved his family to Sparwood, BC and then to the Cranbrook area in 1993, where they lived until his passing.
Ray is survived by his loving wife Shelva; daughters Charlene (Peter) Nelson, Debbie (Tim) Lyght, and sons Brian, Darryl (Stacy), and Justin (Kerri); grandchildren Kris, Amanda (Tim), Rachel (Clive), Michael (Britany) Ryerson, Mason, Aiden, Kayla, Kiana, Kinsey, and great grandchildren Jaxon, Owen and Rohn. He also leaves behind his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews and many dear friends to mourn his passing.
Ray’s funeral service was held on Friday, January 3, 2014 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Sparwood, BC. Condolences for the family can be offered at www.McPhersonFH.com In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Kelowna, BC, V1Y 9M9 or the Canadian Diabetes Association (Box 12013, Stn. BRM B, Toronto, ON, M7Y 2L3).
