Obituary for Douglas John Valen

Douglas John  Valen
It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Doug. Doug is survived by his loving wife Lene of 11 years, daughter Tiana (Allan) and their daughter Lily, sons Tyler (Danna) and their sons Dylan and Tyson, Daniel, Colin and his son Brantley, Sean (Jessica), father Peter Valen Sr. (Lucy), brothers Gordon (Edna), Murray (Norma), Brian (Yvonne), and sister Gloria (Adam) and numerous nieces, nephews, other family and friends along with numerous horses and grand dogs. He was predeceased by his mother Myrtle.
Doug was born in Stonewall, and moved to the farm in Teulon with his family in 1965.
He was a hardworking man, and a very kind hearted person, always around to help those in need. He had a quick wit, and an infectious laugh, always the jokester. He loved spending time with his family, and with his “extended” family of cows, horses and various other animals. He enjoyed many entertaining chats over coffee and made friends wherever he went. He enjoyed his leather craft in his “Doug house” in the barn, roping and horseback riding. He touched so many lives.
A memorial service will be held in his honor Tuesday, October 11, 2016 at 2 pm at the Teulon Rockwood Centennial Centre. Interment will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Doug’s name to the Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg to whom he was eternally grateful for saving the life his granddaughter Lily.
Now you can ride with Huck and Patch down the dusty trail.
