Obituary for Samuel James Courtney Wing
Wing, Samuel James
Samuel James Wing was born in the second day of the ninth month of 1948 in Yee Hing, China. He immigrated to Canada as an infant and grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan with his mother and three brothers, Ken, Dick and Joe. Educated at the University of Saskatoon, he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, and a Master’s in Geology, which allowed him to build a successful career in the oil and gas industry. He also made a number of lifelong friendships through his studies, particularly fellow members of The Ore Gangue.
Sam was wed twice. He married Jackie Daost as a young man and Deanna Rempel at a mature age, with whom he remained. He had a daughter, Lachlan, and three sons, Michael, Nolan and Adam. He loved his family and worked hard to take care of them.
Sam’s first passion was golf—playing when he could, planning or simply watching when he couldn’t. He also loved watching hockey, camping, playing the markets, and reminiscing about the travels of his youth. He was fair-minded, self-assured and tenacious, and will be missed by all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sam’s memory to his preferred charity The Mustard Seed
