Lyndon Dale Christian
October 19, 1952 - November 22, 2015
As published in the December 14, 2015 World-Spectator
Lyndon Dale Christian was born on October 19, 1952 in Moosomin, Sask. He was the second oldest child of Mervyn and Hilda Christian.
In his early years, Lyndon attended Kendalton School and later he continued school in Wapella. He often spoke of how he and his siblings walked to school while others rode horses.
Lyndon married Delores Heintz in 1970 and they resided on his parent’s farm. They later moved to Thompson, Man. where he worked at the nickel mine. In 1972 they moved to Rocanville where Lyndon became employed with the Department of Highways. In 1973, he became employed with PCS Mine Rocanville until he retired in January 2011 after 37 years of service.
Lyndon and Delores have two daughters: Roxanne who was born in 1973 and currently resides in Saskatoon, and Carmela, born in 1976, currently residing in Wapella.
In 1992, Lyndon fell in love with Debbie and he moved her and her two young children, Andy and Angie, to Rocanville where they made their life together as a family. Andy and Angie, both currently live in Regina.
Lyndon was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting. He was a long-time member of the Wildlife Federation and supported their work wholeheartedly. He also was a member of the Lions Club.
Lyndon is predeceased by his parents Mervyn and Hilda Christian.
He is survived by his wife Debbie; children and grandchildren Roxanne (Ray) Christian and Jarvis, Regan, and Tyson, Carmela (Farrell) Dodd and Taylor, Ethan, and Nevin, Andrew (Nicole) Gold and Dillan, Angie (Victor) Gold; siblings Lorraine, Gary, and Sharleen; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
This past year Lyndon’s heart disease progressed to a point where it affected his quality of life. Lyndon grew weary and too tired to continue the fight and on November 22, with his wife and his children by his side, Lyndon drew his last breath and passed into the arms of Jesus. Lyndon has taken the last step on his journey home and although he may be gone, he will never be forgotten. In the tomorrows still to come he will walk beside us in the sunshine and the rain; we will speak his name often, and we will close our eyes and smile . . . because he lived!
