Bryon’s Obituary
Byron Morden passed away at Providence Place in Moose Jaw, SK, on Saturday, November 21, 2020 at the age of 79. He was born to Bill and Nellie Morden on April 22, 1941 in Lethbridge, AB. Byron earned a degree in Veterinary Medicine in Guelph, ON. He married his first wife Shirley Hume in Guelph and they moved to the Lethbridge and Calgary area for his work. He later completed a Ph.D. (Vet Pathology) at the University of Saskatoon. Byron dedicated his life to the care and well-being of large and small animals; he worked with Alberta Agriculture (Edmonton) as a vet pathologist in diagnostics, and research. During his long career Byron experienced owning his own clinic and working for the Department of Agriculture both at the Federal and Alberta Provincial levels. His last employment brought him to Brooks, AB, working for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency until retirement. Byron’s love of animals never ceased, and he surrounded himself with many, many pets. Being a nature lover, he enjoyed fishing, golf, gardening, bird watching and traveling. His recreation in the wintertime was skiing and ballroom dancing. He also enjoyed photography both in his private life and at work.
Byron was predeceased by his parents and numerous other relatives. He is survived by his wife Lucille and his stepson Clayton (Sherry) and family; ex-wife Shirley (Ray); his sons Blair and Scott and their families; his sister Faye (Dennis) Cox, niece Cathy, nephew Keith and their families.
