Gilbert Delmar Wagner
December 22nd, 2023
We lost one of the good ones today. Husband, father, grandfather, uncle and organic farmer. Gilbert Delmar “Honus” Wagner passed away after a brief stay at the Pasqua Hospital with his family by his side, at the age of 87.
Predeceased by parents Reinhold and Mildred, sisters Lorraine and Dodi, as well as nephew Terry. Gilbert is survived by his wife Lois, daughter Darlene, sons Brad and Mike, his brother Ron, grandchildren Trent, Taylor, Kalin, and great-grandchild, Laiklynn.
Dad grew up on the family farm in the Craven district, attended Valley View School then Balfour Tech Hish School where he played and coached football. After high school Dad would go on to play for the Regina Rams and would coach with the Rams when they won their first national championchip in 1966. After working with Pell's Teas & Coffees, he started his own business, Wagner's Restaurant Supplies. Eventually Dad fulfilled his childhood dream of buying the ranch in the Qu'Appelle valley where he resided until his passing.
The family would like to thank everyone at Pasqua Hospital 3A who helped Dad during his final journey. Your efforts were greatly appreciated.

My sincere condolences to you Lois, and all of your family. Honus was one of the good ones for sure. He was our coach at Balfour with Gord Currie and then with the RAMS. Later, he was my boss at Wagner's restaurant supplies. Gil taught me a lot about business and so much more about life. He was always dreaming about how to make everything better in business and life. I owe him so much. Gil was a great coach, businessman, farmer, and even a better friend. So sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
