March 4, 1953 – February 4, 2026

The friends and family of Gary Nixon are saddened to announce his passing at the age of 72 years.

Gary was predeceased by his parents Doris and Floyd and his sister Sharon LePoudre and brother-in-law Julius. 

He is survived by his nephew Paul and his family and niece Angela and her family.

Gary attended Craik School where he completed his Grade 12. He went on to attend University in Saskatoon and received his diploma in Agriculture.

Shortly thereafter, he returned home to farm with his father. Gary set-up a seed-cleaning business in the 1980’s.

He will be remembered for his love of animals, especially Black Angus cattle. His passion for the cattle-business took him on many memorable adventures with 4H and Agribition.

Gary made lifelong friends in the 4H Club and at the School of Agriculture and during his time at Wascana Rehab.

Gary spent hours researching his family tree and had a tremendous knowledge of historical events.

He appreciated all aspects of tool workmanship and scoured through every Princess Auto catalogue that arrived.

Gary was grateful for friends and neighbours who checked in on him; gave him a hand with projects; and drove him to appointments, errands, and events.

Despite Gary’s physical ailments, he lived in joyful hope with determination to continue to live on the farm where he was raised.

He passed away where he had lived much of his life, in the home that he loved.

A celebration of Gary’s life will take place at a later date. Hanson’s Funeral Home of Davidson in care of arrangements.
