In Loving Memory
Verne Kinequon
1958 - 2023
It is with great sadness that the family of Verne Kinequon announce his passing on February 9, 2023.
Verne will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his wife Maureen Esperance-Kinequon, children: Glennis (George), Teneille (Fenton), Dylan (Sunrise), Anna (Mason), and Levi (Anika); numerous grandchildren; mother Beatrice Kinequon; brothers: Lloyd (Rhonda), Delbert (Sheila), Derek, Dennis, Tim, Leon (Pam); sisters: Lorretta (Clay) and Lorraine (Richard); mother-in-law Doris Esperance; sisters-in-law: Charlene and Lorelei Esperance; special nephews: Dion, Joseph Marc, and John Keewatin; god sons: James Waylon Paul, Brett Esperance; adopted family Freda Koochicum (Donald), Vera McNabb, Lynda Bigknife, Lorne Bigknife (Anita); and numerous nieces & nephews.
He was predeceased by his father Morris Kinequon; brothers: Cameron Kinequon, Walter Kinequon, Darwin Kinequon; niece Raven Kinequon; nephew Vinny Esperance; and father-in-law Harold Seesequasis.
Verne worked on the CN Rail for over 35 years and gained many friends throughout his career. He was a quiet man. Verne always kept himself busy doing yard work, farm work or helping others. He enjoyed listening to country & classic music and sneaking to the casino with Maureen. He took good care of his family, loved his grandchildren, and made sure to check in on his nephews and nieces – always giving an encouraging word to them.
The family would like to thank Dr. Litwin and the nursing staff of Wynyard Hospital for the care they gave him; also, a special mention to Narfason’s Funeral Chapel.
As we take him to the family cemetery, George Kay will be on horseback leading a rider less horse, any other riders are welcome to follow.
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path
The creator has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I've now found a peace
At the end of the day.
