Robert Brent Woods, 67 of Moose Jaw, passed away on April 7, 2023.
Brent was born on May 30, 1955, to Robert and Edith in Moose Jaw. He had many hobbies and interests throughout his life. He greatly enjoyed gardening, with a particular passion for peppers. He was also a faithful Riders fan, taking over his father’s longtime season tickets near the 50-yard line.
Most of all, Brent loved his family. He married Cathy Leverton in 1976, and they lived in Estevan for the next 25 years. He was a great father to his two daughters, Jessica and Christine. His greatest joy was spending time with them and being involved in all their activities. As the girls grew up, he looked forward to every family gathering and being with his extended families.
Brent was a hard worker and he had a long list of jobs growing up. One of the first was riding his bicycle all over town as a delivery boy for the family business, Woods Pharmacy. He was proud to work for SaskPower, starting as a cleaner in Estevan. Through SaskPower, he received his 3rd Class Power Engineer, Journeyman Electrician, and eventually became Electrical Inspections Supervisor. He retired in Moose Jaw in 2020.
Brent was a friendly man and he thoroughly enjoyed chatting with neighbors and friends. He would never hesitate to offer a helping hand or piece of advice. His big smile and hearty laugh will be dearly missed.
Brent was predeceased by his parents, sister Barbara, and father-in-law Lewis Leverton. He is survived by his wife Cathy, daughters Jessica and Christine, brother Brad (Kathy), sister Brenda (Scott), sister-in-law Lois Saunders, brother-in-law Mark Leverton (Tamara), brother-in-law Patrick Morris, mother-in-law Adeline Leverton, and numerous much-loved nieces and nephews.
The family would like to recognize the exceptional care that Brent received from Dr. Geyer, Dr. Ramadan, Dr. Rodwan, and everyone at the Regina General Cardiac Care Unit. A time of Celebrating Brent’s life will take place on Thursday April 13, 2023 at 1:00PM at the W. J. Jones & Son Reception Center, 474 Hochelaga St W., Moose Jaw, Sk.
