Dwight was born in Estevan, SK and moved to Regina in the early eighties where he lived and worked as an Insurance Advisor for thirty years. He had numerous interests and great talents. Dwight was an enthusiastic past member of the Regina Corvette Club, was a member of the Regina Capital Cosmopolitan Club, as well as a long serving Board Member of the Cosmopolitan Learning Centre; all of which he served selflessly committing his time, energy and skills. Dwight loved to be active and it was not uncommon for him to go on one to two hour walks daily just to be outside, moving, enjoying nature and bird watching. Dwight had a passion for watching golf and Formula One car racing. Dwight also loved to travel. He and Debra had a very special connection to NYC and most recently many parts of Europe. When it came to baking, no one could compete with Dwight’s German Chocolate Cake, and both buttermilk and Dutch Baby pancakes. All that Dwight did, he did with great energy, pride and joy. But of all things, his love for his soulmate Debra was the greatest. Dwight will forever be remembered as being a kind, gentle, strong and loving friend, uncle, brother, son, and above all, husband.
