Jason Glenn Wilson was born on Feb 12, 1973 to Linda and Glenn Wilson in Thompson, MB. They ended up moving to Algrove, SK, where he grew up alongside his younger brother Dale. While they were raised together as most farm boys are, Jason decided that he wanted to take a different path in life and moved to Saskatoon to pursue a different career.
Originally, this was meant to be a degree in the study of Law, but the story as he told it is one morning as he was riding his bicycle to his classes, he decided that it was such a nice day that he just kept riding past the university. Jason’s ability and talent for storytelling bleed into almost every single facet of his life, and no matter where he was or who he was talking to, he always seemed to have one ready to go.
After riding past his law degree, his industrious and adventurous side led him to pursue a great many different occupations, from trucking all across North America, to diamond drilling with his father at Midwest, and even manufacturing computer chips in Edmonton. He was a true jack of all trades, capable of roughnecking, drilling, running equipment, and pretty much anything else life threw at him, all while still maintaining his famous “no bullshit” sense of contagious humour. This culminated in his final and longest lasting vocation of foreman, where he would combine his lifetime of skills and storytelling into one package. Anyone who worked with him went away with both lasting practical knowledge, and a stomach that hurt from laughter.
Outside of his career, Jason was an avid Harley Davidson fanatic, spending hours riding the highways of BC and AB, and dodging the potholes of SK. He also was an extremely skilled golfer, or as he called it “whack-f**k” and had many great times on the courses making everyone else look like amateurs. Football was also a massive part of his life, and any time the Riders were playing, you could bet that if he wasn’t able to watch it, he would have it cranked up on the radio (usually to yell at the coaches for screwing things up!)
Jason was a wholly devoted husband to Ang, father, and grandfather. He never hesitated to put everyone ahead of himself and was always able to lend a hand or an ear. While his outside appearance was usually a badass, scary biker, those who were lucky enough to know him well got to see the truly great and loving man he was at his core.
Jason is survived by his children Micheal and Jessica Wilson, Leah and Allie Guy; grandchildren Aurora and Hayden Leopold; parents Glenn and Linda Wilson; brother Dale (Carrie) children Cody, Wyatt, Brock, and Kacie; and everyone lucky enough to hear one of his incredible stories or jokes across his entire life.
A Trust Fund has been set up in Memory of Jason to help with funeral expenses,
and to provide financial support for his children's education
