David Tarr
October 22, 1949 – April 30, 2018
David Harry Tarr of Norquay, SK, passed away on April 30, 2018, at the age of 68 years.
David was born October 22, 1949, in the town of Kipling, SK, to George Jr. and Josephine (Rabbetz) Tarr. David resided in the Vandora/Langbank area until he was in the eighth grade. He left school and obtained employment on the CNR and continued to work there for a few years. When the family decided to move north, David left his CNR job, moved with his parents and settled on a farm north of Arran, SK. Along with farming, David worked at Campbell’s Garage, Pelly Trail, L&Y, as a logging contractor, Frank Hrabchak’s Scrap Yard, and lastly in maintenance at Benito Sanitation Grounds.
David was the “go to” guy for any mechanical issues the area neighbours encountered. He would help anyone in need and was often called upon to diagnose and fix equipment after his regular 8-5 jobs.
David lived a simple lifestyle. He spent most of his years residing in the Arran and Pelly area and recently moved to Norquay. He enjoyed hunting, especially with his Uncle Andy and friend, Bill Reibin. He also liked watching old Western movies on TV. Ultimately, his favorite pastime was spending time with his beloved horses, Minnie, Thunder, Joe, Candy and Bud. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. David was predeceased by his twin brother, Gabriel in infancy, a second sibling, Clifford Gordon, also in infancy, his mother, Josephine in 1996 and his father, George in 2005. He is survived by his two remaining brothers, Larry (Donna) Tarr of Yorkton, SK and Clifford Tarr of Canora, SK, and two nieces, Ashley (Evan) Schick of Humboldt, SK and Amanda Tarr of Yorkton, SK. A Celebration of David’s Life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 9, 2018, from the Chapel of Leson’s Funeral Home, Canora, with Laura Dahl officiating. Interment will follow at the Canora Cemetery, Canora, SK. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, as tokens of remembrance, in memory of David Tarr.
