Duane Earl Stabenow
Duane Earl Stabenow, late of Weyburn, passed away on Saturday, March 1, 2008 at the age of 59 years. Duane was predeceased by his father: Earl Stabenow. Duane is survived by his children: Scott Stabenow, Midale, Denny Stabenow, Didsbury, AB, Nikki (Darcy) Herlick, Weyburn, Duane's grandchildren: Brooke and Darien Herlick; special friend, Laurie Duncan, Weyburn; his mother, Ida Stabenow, Midale; two sisters: Lorraine (Mike) Chanig, Torquay, Pat (Tom) DeBruyne, Estevan; three brothers: Ken Stabenow, Olds, AB, Don Stabenow (Nola), Midale, Dale (Karen) Stabenow, Estevan as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Duane was born June 21, 1948 at Torquay, he was the second eldest of six children. He attended school at Midale. For many years of his life he worked in the oilfield, started out young working as a farm hand for the Hogan's. He then acquired his own truck to haul oil and salt water, which he did for two years. At 18 years old he went to the drilling rigs for a few years. At the age of 22 his first son Scott was born. He moved to Hudson Bay to work at a lumber mill for two years and at 24 his second son was born, Denny. In 1973 when Duane was 25 he began his life-long career with Shell Canada. One year later his only daughter Nikki was born. After working three years in Midale the family was transferred to Valleyview where we spent six years and eventually moved back to Midale where he finished with Shell and it then became Apache, and then retired in 1999. He then formed his own business six years ago, which he named "tickety-boo". I asked him one day where he thought up that name and he said it means "perfectly fine" and that's how I am! So he was soon named "tickety" for short. Duane kept very busy consulting out at Encana for the past six years. Duane was a great outdoorsman, he loved to ice fish, camp, hunt and his newest love was his Harley. Most weekends if there was no wind he was gone riding! If you could hear the rumbling of a Harley around town, and a big smile on his face, it was probably "tickety"! He could be three blocks away and the kids would come running in and say papa's coming! He had a special bond with his two grandchildren, he would come over with some little gadget for them and show them how to use it, but it always entertained them for hours. They loved spending every minute with papa as they were the apple of his eye. He enjoyed life to the fullest, even through all the pain and suffering he would never complain or be negative, he always kept a positive attitude, great sense of humor, loved visiting with friends and family and was always a joy to be around. Duane had made a trip a year ago down to Arizona, his dream was to retire there for the winter and find the perfect spot where he and Laurie would stay and all of us kids would fly down for a visit. It is memories like these that we will hold on to. Many thanks to S.I.C.U Regina General, Wascana Rehab Unit 3-2, Weyburn Palliative Care, Dr. Allan Fong, all the nurses who took such wonderful care of our Dad, Stella, Crystal, also Weyburn Care a Van for the use of the van for the two times we got to take Dad home, all the people who sent cards, prayers and came to visit him, it meant the world to him. The Memorial Service for Duane was held on Thursday, March 6, at 2:00 p.m. from Knox Presbyterian Church, Weyburn, with Rev. John Ferrier, officiating. Interment was held at Westphalia Cemetery, Midale. For family and friends so wishing, donations may be made in memory of Duane to the Weyburn General Hospital Palliative Care Fund.
