BENBOW, Dwayne
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Dwayne Benbow announce his passing on Friday, December 2, 2016 at the young age of 59.
He was the second of five children to David and Reta Benbow. Dwayne was born in Edmonton but lived his entire life in Hinton, Alberta. He married his soul mate, Shelley Powers, on February 26, 1977. Together they raised three daughters.
Dwayne was a loving and dedicated husband and father. Always the first to crack a joke or make an inappropriate comment with that witty sparkle in his eyes. Dwayne worked at West Fraser (Weldwood and any other number of names throughout the years) and just very recently retired. He spent many hours in his shop tinkering on numerous projects. Between the cars, the drums and Shelley he had a lot to keep him busy and happy.
Dwayne leaves behind his wife of 39 years, Shelley Benbow, children: Mandy Benbow (Sean Mumby), Chrissy (Kevin) Georgeson, Jamie (Mark) Davy, mother Reta Benbow and mother-in-law Beverly Powers, and his six grandchildren: Caileb, Tye, Kennedy, Thomas, Natalie and Cohen. He was predeceased by his father, David Benbow and father-in-law Steve Powers.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Hinton Royal Canadian Legion on Thursday, December 8, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Bill Bulger officiating.
As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of Dwayne, memorial contributions may be made to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, 2A9.006 MAHI, 8440-112th Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2B7.
