Irwin Eric Wallace Steiner, 83, of Theodore Saskatchewan, passed away on March 3rd, 2021, peacefully in the comfort of his home.
Irwin was born in Yorkton, SK and attended Sandy Lake School. From there Irwin worked as a carpenter on numerous Construction Projects, one of which included the Theodore Dam. Through Irwin’s hard work he saved enough money to buy and break 3 quarters of land, which is where he resided and farmed up till 2020. During his early years on the homestead, Irwin raised cattle and sheep. Through his years of being on the homestead he also took some time to fulfill his passion of mechanics. Irwin worked at Yorkton Small Engine Overhaul and then opened his own repair shop on the farm. Later he would revisit his love of cattle and work with his Son Shaun to raise them again. Irwin primarily farmed wheat during his early years of farming but then moved to Organic farming and solely grew oats for the remainder of his life.
Irwin is predeceased by his parents Magnus Steiner and Enga Sjorstrom and brothers Ron and Kim Steiner.
He was married to his loving wife of 47 years Yvonne Steiner.
Irwin is also survived by: Son- Shaun Steiner: Grandchildren -Hailey, Thor, Colton and Wyatt.
Daughter Tyra (Mike Reynolds) and their children: Isabelle, Amelia and Austyn
Daughter Lisa (Chris Lamb) and their children: Keenan and Kate
Irwin was known for his love of the land and his love of nature. He had a talent of closely bonding to animals of which to name a few included a badger, a crow and a goose; not to mention his cattle would come to him by name. Irwin’s love of nature also included his love of country skiing of which he passed along to his children on the farm. From Skiing to fishing to having a great conversation with a friend, he knew it was always the simpler things in life that offered the greatest treasure. Irwin also had an unmatched zest for life, and for those close to him, they would know he didn’t slow down for much. As much as Irwin’s life was full of hard work and diligence, he also knew how to have a good time, an enduring quality that always followed him.
Irwin’s faith and love of the Lord also brought meaning and purpose to his life. It was important to him and thus sowed the seed of faith into his children a legacy that he hoped will continue for generations.
