Obituary
Allan Philip Poloway (March 16, 1960 – July 1, 2024)
Allan Philip Poloway, beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend passed away on July 1, 2024, after a brief illness. He is survived by his mother, Mary, brothers Dale and Ken, sisters Susan (Shahram), Diane, and Janice (Jeff), sister-in-law, Valerie, and his nieces Roya, Shayda, Aleah, Laurel, Zareena, Kaitlyn, Shayla and nephews John and Joe. Allan was pre-deceased by his father John (2010) and brother Glenn (2020).
Born in Drayton Valley, Alberta, he was the fourth child and third son to John and Mary. A full house growing up, Allan carved out his interests early – football, hockey, games, and being outdoors; interests that continued throughout his life. He had a quick wit, he was funny, and had a great smile. He had something about him that was hard to describe – an intuitive sense that added to his uniqueness.
Allan’s work in the oil industry took him throughout Alberta and southern Saskatchewan, from Fort McMurray to the town of Estevan and back to central Alberta. His experience in the patch, his experience in different parts of Canada added to Allan’s resume of not just work but of people he worked with and became friends with.
If you knew Allan, you knew he loved Rush and Gordon Lightfoot. You knew he loved doing things like fishing and being on the water. You knew he loved the Oilers. You knew he loved playing crib. And you knew he loved doing crossword puzzles.
And when you met Allan, you wanted to be his friend. His best friend. His easy-going nature, go with the flow attitude, that was Allan. He connected, was generous with his time, and loved a deep conversation about life. Allan was available to have a beer watching an Oilers game or a game of crib or simply be available.
When he moved to Sylvan Lake in 2011, Allan found “home” for himself. People he met became friends who became family to him. Spending time at the Fireside Lounge, playing pool in the Sylvan Lake pool league, having fun on the lake, Allan formed deep meaningful friendships and bonds. He loved and was loved in return.
Be at peace Allan. We love you.
A celebration of life for Allan will be held in Sylvan Lake on September 7th. Details to follow.
