WESLEY M. THOMSON
1925 - 2022
Wesley M. Thomson passed to his eternal rest Thursday evening February 3, 2022, at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, MB.
He is survived by his loving wife Maxine Thomson (nee Reed); beloved sons, James Thomson (Jeanne), grandson Christopher Thomson (Valerie), great-grandson Dennis Thomson (Samantha) and their son William, as well as his great-granddaughter Rebeca Thomson. Wesley is predeceased by his father Lawson Thomson, mother Mary Ann Thomson (nee Craig), and his beloved daughter Nadine Thomson.
He was always concerned for the welfare of the community and was involved in many related activities. Wesley served as chairperson and the treasurer of the Weston Community Residents Association. He served as a founding board member and treasurer to the Brookland's Weston Community Resource Council which was later named The Keewatin Inkster Neighborhood Resource Council for seniors. Wesley also served on numerous other community organizations such as NorWest Community Health Cooperative and The Bluebird Lodge Housing Committee. He was involved in the creation of the local Neighborhood Network Watch Program and was pivotal in starting the Citizens on Patrol Program in Winnipeg. He was a leader in the Boy Scouts eventually working his way up to becoming the District Commissioner. Wesley derived much pleasure from these later endeavors, especially organizing multiple Scouting displays at Polo Park, taking the Scouts winter camping, and accompanying two busloads of Scouts on a Jamboree in Texas with stops in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
Wesley had a deep and abiding Christian faith which helped him through many rough times in his life. He was a life member of Sparling United Church where he served on the Church Council as Treasurer for 23 years and held various other positions including a member of the property committee, Board of Stewards, Chair of Trustees and was recently named an honorary lifetime Elder.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice.
A private interment will take place at a later date.
