Lorne Albert Pearson

With sadness, we announce the passing of Lorne Albert Pearson of Broadview, Saskatchewan. Lorne passed away peacefully at the age of 96 years, on July 29, 2026 in the Whitewood Community Health Centre Special Care Home.

Lorne was born on May 11,1930, to Peter and Annie Pearson on the farm in the Northwood area north of Broadview. As an adult, Lorne took over the farm and in 1952, married the love of his life, Joy Clark. Together, they raised three children. In April of this year, Lorne moved into the Special Care Home in Whitewood, where he spent the last four months of his life.

Lorne was predeceased by his parents Peter and Annie Pearson; beloved wife Joy; brothers: Algot, Helmer, Fridolf and twin brother Lawrence.

He is survived and will be missed by his children: Dianne (Gordon) Pattison, Bonnie (Ron) McKay and Clark (Deborah) Pearson; his eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren: Kevin Pattison and his children: Mason, Maddox and Ainsley; Anita (Jason) Pattison and son Cody; Michael (Robin) Pattison and their children: Brynlie, Bronwyn and Brooklyn; Austin (Rachel) McKay and their children Revecca and Anevay; Maddison (Dustin) Thomas; Letitia McKay and son Vance; Waylan (Taylor) Pearson and Leland (Hayden) Pearson and daughter Nora.

Farming was constant throughout Lorne’s life, but he also took on many other jobs over the years. As a young husband he took a ride on the train to Brandon, completed required training and came back to work on the CPR. Through the years he bartended at several locations including: Broadview, Esterhazy, Yorkton, Moosomin and Bird’s Point. He worked for a few summers digging wells with Graham Wells. After retiring from active farming, he and Joy took on the Caretaker job at Camp O’Neill in the Qu’Appelle Valley and kept the camp looking lovely for ten years.

Lorne had many interests and friends everywhere. He hunted deer and moose when younger. He was an avid fisherman in both summer and winter, maintained a beautiful and manicured yard, even buying a brand new John Deere lawnmower when he was 95 years old. He was blessed to be able to live independently on the farm where he was born and raised until he was just a few weeks short of 96 years old. That is a feat few people can accomplish and a testament to his determination and perseverance and characteristics of his general approach to life. When he was no longer able to live alone on the farm, he moved to the Care Home in Whitewood where he received care and attention from their wonderful staff.

The family expresses special gratitude to Dr. W. Roets from the Moosomin Family Practice and the staff at Whitewood Community Health Centre Special Care Home for the exemplary care they provided.

A private service of remembrance will be held later with internment in the Percival Cemetery.
