Obituary of Wyatt Reinson

REINSON: It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wyatt Damon Reinson, on April 1st, 2020. Wyatt leaves to mourn his loving wife of 25 years, Maxine Reinson and two daughters, Kyndall (Konnor Rowan) and Taylor (Jared Malcolm). He will also be missed by his most recent family addition, Braven, who Wyatt and Maxine just recently became foster parents to. Wyatt is also survived by his sisters Mona DeGagne and Colleen (Barrie) Korf, brothers Rod Reinson and Tyler Reinson (Lori Drennan) as well as numerous nieces and nephews and other family members and friends. Wyatt was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Julia Reinson, Brother-in-law, Rene De Gagne and Sister-in-law, Debbie Reinson. Wyatt was born August 16th, 1961 in Fort Frances, Ontario and lived there until he was 15 when his family moved to Midale, Saskatchewan, which he always considered his hometown. He was a Saskatchewan boy at heart and an avid Roughrider fan and despite that fact, we still loved him. Wyatt moved to Winnipeg when he was 22 years old and a few years later he met the love of his life Maxine, when they were both working at Bi-Way. They moved around to three more cities until settling down in Brandon, Manitoba, where they planted their permanent roots. Wyatt worked in management at several places and after moving to Brandon. He worked at Maple Leaf for 19 years, however everyone knows that his favourite job was being a husband to Maxine and a father to his beautiful daughters, Kyndall and Taylor. Family was very important to Wyatt and he made sure that his children knew their relatives and their Icelandic and Estonian ancestry. Every year they would make the 13 hour road trip to visit grandma so they could spend quality time with her. Wyatt loved to take Maxine and the girls on family trips whether it was to visit family, on camping trips to Grand Valley and Oak Lake, to birthdays and weddings. You can tell how important his family was to him because anyone else who has ever travelled with Wyatt knows he never drove over the speed limit, so quite often they were the last ones to get to the destinations but they always made it there safely. His family was everything to him and he was always an involved parent and never missed any important moments or milestones. Sometimes his fun side would come out during these events, like the time he dressed up as a leprechaun for his daughter's St Patrick's Day birthday party. Or the Halloween party when he was the Prince to Maxine's Snow White. A favourite memory of his daughters were the Friday family fun nights when they would get take out food, such as pizza or McDonalds burgers and fries, play board games and watch movies. It was the one day a week where they could eat junk food instead of the healthy meals Wyatt usually insisted on. There are too many words and phrases to list that could describe Wyatt by those who will always remember him but a few examples are: Sponge for knowledge - he loved to learn about everything. Inspector Gadget - he loved his gadgets, gizmos and unique novelty items and tools. Humble - he was never materialistic and didn't need to be the centre of attention. Foodie - he loved to cook and try different recipes including special vegetarian ones and loved it when people enjoyed his creations. Some might say stubborn - he liked to have healthy debates and stuck by his views. Funny - even if he was the only one laughing at his own jokes. Jack-of-all-trades - master of none. Gardener - every summer planting flowers and vegetables for everyone to enjoy. Selfless - always there to help anyone who needed anything. LOVED by all who knew him and will forever keep him in their hearts. A Celebration of Wyatt's life will be held at a later date, with details to follow.
