Mr. Wade Weseen, 64, of Lake Lenore, SK, passed away on Thursday, September 22, 2016, at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, SK, surrounded by his family.  He was born to William and Eunice (nee Buckton) Weseen in Spalding, SK, on Wednesday, December 19, 1951, as the second of five children. Wade attended Lewis Lake School to grade five and from grade six onward he attended Naicam School where he met his future wife, Valerie, and then graduated in 1969.   Wade went on to receive his B.S.P.E. and B.Ed. from the University of Saskatchewan in 1974. That same year he was married to Valerie (nee Amundson) on May 4th at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Naicam, SK.   They were blessed with two daughters, Jasmine (1977) and Jillian (1979). Wade worked as a teacher and coach at Lake Lenore for 33 years. His career was a colorful one.   He committed much of his time and effort into building one of the strongest all-round high school athletic programs in Saskatchewan with an emphasis on female sport. Highly respected in his field, provincial titles and national recognition eventually found him.   Wade was elected president of the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association in 2005, and presented with their distinguished Merit Award in 1996. He continued to enjoy farming throughout his teaching career and into retirement.  Wade leaves behind his beloved wife Valerie; his daughter Jasmine, her husband Kevin, and their children Anaka and William; his daughter Jillian, her husband Wellingtone, and their daughter Anabel;  brother Mark; brother Ross and his wife Catherine; sister Gayle; and sister Kathy. He also leaves behind in-laws, nieces and nephews, as well as an amazing extended family found in his local community and the greater area through 30 plus years of coaches, players, and friends across the province.   Wade was predeceased by his parents William and Eunice; and by his brother Dale.  A celebration of Wade’s life was held at St. Anthony’s R.C. Church, Lake Lenore, on Friday, September 30th, 2016, at 1:00 p.m., with Pastor Kragbe Legre and Father Anthony Atter presiding. Lunch followed at the Lake Lenore School Gymnasium.  Interment took place later that afternoon at Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery in Naicam.   Wade’s dying wish was for his grandchildren to afford the opportunities that education allows as he held it in the highest regard.
