Donald Arthur Pequin
Donald Arthur Pequin passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.
He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Elsie Pequin; son, Dustin Pequin; sisters, Cheryl Riendeau and Donna Tindall; in-laws: Paul and Mable Nichvalodoff, and Wilf Drake; and brothers-in-law, Jerry Nichvalodoff and Gary Hyland. Don will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Flo Pequin; son, Cory (Kelsey) Pequin; step-son, Jerry Stock; grandchildren: Taylor, Lucas, and Raelynn; sisters, Laurie Acott and Judy (Ed) Daschuk; brother, Gary (Francine) Pequin; sisters-in-law, Sharon Nichvalodoff (Bill Doud) and Julie Nichvalodoff (Dave O’Neil); brother-in-law, Mark Reindeau; as well as many other cherished relatives and friends. Don was also a proud father to Jerry and Tammy from an earlier marriage.
As a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Donny touched many lives with his warmth and wit. Don’s working life reflected his wide-ranging talents. He was a truck driver, mechanic, carpenter, groundskeeper, and a classic car enthusiast.
A lover of cowboy poetry, Don often recited verses that he had written, which captured the rugged beauty of prairie life, the family farm, and the animals he loved. His legacy of love, humour, resilience, and storytelling will live on in all of us.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw and the Regina General Hospital for their care and compassion.
The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, May 2nd, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at Moose Jaw Funeral Home with Pastor Marvin Seaborg officiating.

My condolences to Flo and the family on the passing of Don Pequin. He was obviously a well-liked person and left a strong legacy. I knew Flo from our high school days at Riverview Collegiate, and Gary Hyland and I shared teaching stories about the importance of reading (Jim Carr always told me how smart Gary was, too).
Condolences to all the family ! Don was a great fellow and Canadian !
Auntie Florence, Jerry, and Corey and family my thoughts have been with you over the last weeks and continue to be. Uncle Don was always one of my favorites. He was a kind and gentle soul and he will be missed. I have many fond memories as a child of spending Christmas eve with all of you, including the burnt turkey. I always enjoyed listening to all of the stories that would be told, including the ones about ghosts. As an adult it was a treat to go camping with all of you and to listen to Uncle Don’s cowboy poetry. I imagine that he is now spinning tales with my dad and catching up. Much love to all of you.
June and family
Donny was an uncle is always ready to lend a helping hand, offer wise advice, or simply be happy to see you. From Uncle Donny, I learned the value of a well-told story and the memorable, instructive lessons hidden within, whether conveyed through poetry or a tall tale or sharing a teaching through a beaded gauntlet. My mom grew up loving all her uncles and aunts, with Uncle Bud being a special hero to her and I know she wanted me to experience that same things with her siblings. I can’t recall a time when Donny wasn’t part of my life – a fun part of my life. He loved southern Saskatchewan, and it was wonderful to see him living his dream of country life—owning and living on a farm pretty much to the end of his life. He will be missed.
