Arnold Morris Taylor passed away peacefully at his home North East of Kenaston on March 4, 2026 . Born January 7, 1943, to Jacob and Pearl Taylor of Kenaston, SK, Arnold lived a life defined by agriculture, community, and family.

Arnold was educated at the Zid School, Kenaston School and went on to study at the University of Saskatchewan.  He later earned his Certified Medical Representative (CMR) credential. 

Arnold married his beloved wife, Sharon (Stratton), on September 4, 1965. In 1972, they established their farm in Kenaston. Arnold was a devoted father to Brad, Lisa, Doug, Meaghan, Daniel, and Wendy, and a proud grandfather of nine and great-grandfather to one.

Arnold loved his community and was active in it right up until he died.  He coached hockey, was a long standing member of the Lions Club, and volunteered for local community organizations including Super Draft, Santa Clause Day, Kenaston Dinner Theatre, Anglican Church council, PFRA pasture board, National Farmers Union, the Kenaston Cemetery Board just to name a few.  His volunteerism wasn’t limited to local endeavors but included both national and international initiatives. 

Arnold transitioned to organic farming, becoming a passionate global advocate for organic agriculture. He was invited to speak around the world including Australia, England, Costa Rica, Mexico and various places around the United States and Canada.  He served and held various leadership positions including  Organic Agricultural Protection Fund, Saskatchewan Organic Directorate, Canadian Organic Growers, and more.  He received the Organic Hero Award in 2018. 

Arnold found joy in simple things: farming, gardening with Sharon, reading history, birdwatching, playing bridge, coffee row and playing pool.

A funeral service was held at Kenaston Place on March 12th.  We are deeply touched by the support of the community and Arnold’s many circles.
