Wilbert Genoves was killed in a car crash on January 23, 2025, while holidaying in El Salvador.

Wilbert came to Swift Current in 1983 as a refugee, with a diploma in agriculture. He worked hard to learn English and received his Canadian citizenship in 1986. He studied to become a nurse and was employed at Palliser Regional Care Centre for many years.

Wilbert’s sister, Gilma, came to Swift Current in 1999 and also studied nursing. Their mother reunited with the family a few years later, and was welcomed by their circle of friends.
