William Ogle

Billy, born June 3, 1935, passed away peacefully on the evening of October 20, 2024. A devoted rancher, avid horseman and talented calf roper, Dad lived his entire life on the family homestead at the Old Post, where he cultivated a legacy of hard work and dedication.

Survived by his dedicated and equally hard-working wife of 69 years, Shirley (nee Thomas), he leaves behind his children; sons, Brian (Monique), and Travis (Tamara) along with their families: grandchildren; Hewston (Kourtney), Colten (Emma), Chyanne, Wyatt (Taryn), Adawncia, Mary Jane and Kenneth, and his daughter Robin Dueck and her children Brandon, Amy, Jordan and Sierra. Dad was blessed with five great grandchildren; Nash, Rypp, Ryzz, Autumn and Alejandro. He was predeceased by son Jayde and son-in-law Arnie Dueck.

A highlight of Dad’s life was winning the CCA Calf Roping Championship in 1963, a testament to his skill and passion for the sport. Dad was honoured with the Rancher of the Year award at Agribition in Regina, recognizing his unwavering commitment to ranching.

Dad was a man who never gave up on his dreams, and enjoyed participating in jam sessions and singing his favourite songs. He continued to be the boss until the very end. His spirit will live on at the ranch and in the hearts of all who knew him. Rest easy Dad, the ranch is in good hands. At the request of our Dad there was an immediate family gathering at the Ogle Cemetery, Wood Mountain, SK.
