Warren Scott Wilson

It is with great sadness and love that we announce the passing of Warren Wilson, or “WW," as he was also known by his close friends and family. After a lengthy illness, Warren passed away peacefully in the early morning of January 23rd at St. Paul’s Hospital with his beloved love of his life, his wife Shirley, and stepdaughter Cheryl at his side.

Warren was predeceased by his father Grant Wilson. He is survived by his spouse Shirley, mother Nora, stepdaughter Cheryl (Gerry), grandchildren Katelyn and Joseph, brother Al (Darcie), brother Stuart (Jocelyn), brother-in-law Stewart (Karen), sister-in-law Dorean, nieces and nephews.

Warren was loyal, loving, trustworthy, witty, and fun! He was always willing to lend a helping hand to his family, friends, neighbours and the community as a whole. Warren loved cooking, duck hunting, fishing, golfing, hiking, playing softball, squash, ice hockey and football. He also enjoyed watching his favourite hockey team the Edmonton Oilers, hosting parties, reading, word crafting, correcting others spelling, grammar and punctuation and joking with everyone he met!

Warren was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and later, his father moved the family to Edmonton. Warren graduated from high school in 1974 and attended the University of Alberta for 3.5 years where he played with the Anklers ice hockey team and graduated with a Bachelors of Science. Warren worked for a seal coating construction company and later with AGT before he “got the call” for the RCMP in 1980 and was then sent to the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. A year later, he met his long time spouse Shirley at the Armouries following the Remembrance Day parade. For years, Warren enjoyed playing baseball with the Lynwood Men’s Slo-Pitch Team and the North Shore Mixed Slo-Pitch League. In 2016, Warren retired from the RCMP and worked as a Golf Marshal at Northlands golf course. In recent years, Warren worked as a “Cheese Monger Extraordinaire” at the Cheeseman in North Vancouver. Despite having health issues these past 20 years, Warren worked hard, played hard and fought hard! He will be dearly missed by all.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the late spring or early summer. Details with be posted on this page at a later date.
