Obituary
John (Jack) Wesley Nolan, 76, of Vegreville, Alberta, passed away on November 8, 2023 surrounded by his sons.
He was born to parents Charles and Evelyn Nolan (French) on December 31, 1946 in Edmonton, Alberta. Jack resided with his family in Bruce, Alberta for the first 9 years of his life, moving to Tofield in 1955 where he completed his schooling. Upon graduating high school Jack entered into the field of Renewable Resource Technology in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. After receiving his diploma he had an active career working for Alberta Fish and Wildlife, Canadian Wildlife Services and the Alberta Research Council. Jack was an active member of both the Tofield and Vegreville Gun Clubs as well as involved with firearms training. Throughout the years Jack could be found amongst the trees, foothills and mountains, hunting, fishing or trapping.
Jack raised his three sons with wife Rita in Vegreville. The boy’s childhood was filled with fishing trips to Northern Saskatchewan and cabin vacations at Manitou Lake. He passed his love for the outdoors onto his sons and through them his grandchildren.
Jack married Joyce in 1995. They shared a love for travel, photography, camping and visiting friends and family. A year rarely passed without a moose hunt. With retirement came free time available for them to travel. In Alberta’s spring and summer they would visit family and friends in Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Yukon, living out of their truck and camper for weeks. You would often find Jack in a fishing boat, camping by a lake or at the Canmore Music Festival. Fall would come and with it hunting season. As winter set in, Jack and Joyce would search out the warmer climates of Mexico and Arizona, fishing rod and hunting rifle exchanged for a tennis racket and happy hour in the RV park.
Jack will be remembered for his passion for the outdoors as well as his kind and gentle manner.
Jack was predeceased by his first wife Rita Barrett and second wife Joyce Nolan (Walker) as well as brothers Walter Nolan and Kenneth Sanderson.
Jack will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his children: Luke Nolan (Sharla), Desmond Nolan (Susan), Greg Nolan (Jenna) and grandchildren Aquin, Cooper, Sawyer and Denver. He is also survived by his sister Sherry (Bruce) McFadzean, brother Patrick (Carole) Nolan and Bob (Maryanne) Nolan as well as many nieces, nephews cousins and his newest family member “Ranger”- his companion dog and best friend.
The family invites you to Jack’s Celebration of Life on Sunday November 26, 2023 at the Vegreville Legion. Doors will open at 11:00 with the celebration beginning at 11:30.
