It is with great sadness that the family of Wes Musgrove announce his
sudden and untimely passing on Dec 26, 2024, in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
Wes will be lovingly remembered by his siblings: Deb(Tim), Murray and
Brad; Niece, Kelly(Ryley); Step Niece and Nephew, Kerri and Scott; and
Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Co-Workers and Friends.
Wes attended the Assiniboine Community College Electrical program
after graduating from Shoal Lake High School in 1982. He moved to
Hinton, Alberta shortly after and began working at the Hinton Mill. He
basically started from the ground up, looking after the grounds and staff
housing before spending nearly 30 years inside the Mill working in the
water treatment department, obtaining various certifications along the
way. Wes moved to Fort McMurray in 2012 to become a contractor with
Utilities at Syncrude, subsequently becoming an employee in 2013 as a
Third-Class Power Engineer in Utilities, specifically with the Water
Treatment and Cooling Team. In 2019, he was promoted to Lead Hand
(Assistant Team Supervisor). Wes was very knowledgeable and very
respected in his various roles. He was a “go to” person and a mentor to
many.
Wes was an avid baseball player, curler, water/snow skier, and golfer. But
his great love was his motorcycle riding. He spent most of his free time
“tinkering”, rebuilding engines and vehicles. He will be remembered as a
kind, gentle, humble soul revered by many!
Wes planned to retire to Shoal Lake, Manitoba. His ashes will be buried in
the family plot in Shoal Lake Cemetery. Date to be announced.
