John David Jenkins

November 7th, 2015

David was born on the family farm at Colfax (16-12-15-W2nd).  David was predeceased by his parents Herbert and Rhoda Louise Jenkins, Frank Jenkins; his brothers Morgan and John and sister-in-law June Jenkins.  David is survived by his brother Tom (Myrna) Jenkins; sister Margaret (Max) Schaffer; sister-in-law Evelyn Jenkins along with numerous nieces and nephews.  David’s career took him to several communities in Saskatchewan where he was an Administrator of various rural municipalities.  David never forgot his roots and returned to farming prior to his retirement in 1995.  David’s main concern in life was always his family.  He was always happy to celebrate weddings, anniversaries, graduations etc. until his declining health restricted his activities.  The family would like to thank Lumsden Heritage Home Staff for their superb care and compassion shown to David during his stay.  A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at 11:00 am in Speers Family Center, 2333 Cornwall Street, Regina, SK.

Max & Margaret: My cousin in Weyburn just let me know of Dave's passing. Then I found his obit in the Weyburn Review and it referred me to this site. Dave was good company for my mother for many years. I spent time with him over the years and grew quite fond of him. Thanks for all your help in his later years. He was very fortunate to have you.

No words to explain the sadness I feel reading the passing of David. I will always remember his happy face and his distinct voice. I love and miss all of the Jenkins family. Love Karil

Tom, Margaret & Max Please accept my condolences on David's passing. We all missed him at silver heights and he was thought of often. If there is anything we can do, please let me know. Susan

Dear Max & Margaret: I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing, he is at peace now. I didn't know he was at Lumsden. I always got along with David, my condolences to all the family. your friend, Carol
