RAE ROSE
November 23rd, 1955 – October 1st, 2025
It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Rae Mahlon Rose on Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, at the age of 69 years. Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on November 23rd, 1955, Rae was a devoted husband, father, and friend whose generous spirit and quiet strength touched the lives of many.
He was predeceased by his parents, Winnifred (née: Aldous) and Frank Rose; brother, Allen Rose; and Bruce Dorward. Rae is survived by his beloved wife, Michelle Ciona; his children and grandchildren: Brad (Michelle), Rowen, and Ruby Rose, Jeremy Rose, Robyn (Steven) and Mackynze Miller, Lee (Sarah) and Andi Colby, Kristin (Jeff), Blake and Lilly, and Curtis (Ashley) Kendal and Harper Colby, all of whom he was incredibly proud of. He is also survived by Carol Dorward, Wayne (Anne) Rose, Fay Balfour, and many nieces and nephews.
A man of many passions, Rae found great joy in curling, classic car restoration, and woodworking. Whether he was on the ice with friends, rebuilding something old into something beautiful, or shaping wood with care and precision, Rae poured his heart into every project. His creativity, patience, and craftsmanship will be remembered by all who knew him.
Above all, Rae will be remembered for his steadfast love for his family, his loyalty, and his dry sense of humour that could always bring a smile. His presence was a quiet comfort — steady, dependable, and always there when you needed him.
A gathering will be held to celebrate Rae’s life and will be announced once details have been finalized. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you take a moment to enjoy something Rae loved — a well-restored classic car, a curling match, or a peaceful afternoon in the garage. As well, donations in Rae’s name may be made to the Grace Street Gentleman’s Car Club c/o Stacey Statler, 1210 Grace St, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 3C5.
He will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Ellis, Funeral Director 306-693-4550
