WILSON, Gavin Guy  -
2-Nov-1948 - 10-Aug-2024

It is with deep sadness that the family of Gavin Arneil Wilson (Guy) of Oshawa, Ontario in his 75th year left us for his heavenly home on August 10, 2024 after a lengthy battle of Lewy Body Dementia.

Guy was born in Oshawa on Nov 2, 1948 to the late John Wilson & Edna (Fisher).

Guy was a man of great faith, checking off his list of answered prayer, he was the quiet silent type with a dry sense of humour, a die-hard leaf fan, enjoyed donating to his pro line ticket fund, watched John Wayne movies & loved his Tim Hortons double cream coffee. He worked for Sklar-Peppler & Rockbrune Brothers. Oh, the stories he would tell of the adventures days on the road moving.

Guy’s nick name was The Rock’ due to his amazing strength. He was always the first to be volunteered to help moving his family & friends.

Guy will be loving remembered by his wife Marion. ‘Guy, it ain’t over till it’s over, see ya on the other side!’

He is survived by his stepdaughter Sheryl Altvater, stepson David Stokes; grandson Dakota Stokes and great grandson Xavier Rose Baker; sister-in-law Lorraine Reznak (Joe), brother-in-law Archie Langille, sisters Heather Rozon and Donna Wilson and brothers Jim and Doug (Linda). He will be greatly missed by his many nieces and nephews.

He is pre-deceased by his brothers Robert, Allan, John, and Arthur; sisters Jean, Jacqueline, and Faith; sister-in-law Ruth Langille, mother-in-law Ida LeBlanc, father-in-law Leo LeBlanc, son-in-law Wally Altvater and grandson Bradley Baker.

Many thanks go out for the excellent care by Dr. Kwok, Administration staff, Nurses, and PSW’s at Streamway Villa in Cobourg, Ontario where Gavin resided since October 2020. Rumour has it that he was totally a ladies man & quite the dancer.

A Celebration of Life will take place at MOUNT LAWN FUNERAL HOME & CEMETERY on Monday, August 19 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. with the reception being held in the lounge.

In lieu of flowers the family request donations to the Alzheimer’s Society or Parkinson’s Society would be appreciated by the family.
