Paul David Wager

With deep sadness and a profound sense of loss, we announce that Paul David Wager departed this world on August 3, 2026.

Paul was born on June 15, 1943, in the small lakeside village of Ahmic Harbrour, Ontario, the fourth of six children born to George and Jean Wager.

Paul is predeceased by his beloved wife Bonnie, his parents, his siblings Jack, Harry and Mavis.

He leaves behind his sons Jamie and Randy, his grandchildren Jesse, David, and Miranda, his sister Georgee and husband Rick and sister Betty, along with numerous nieces and nephews, friends and former co-workers, across both Alberta and Ontario, who feel his absence deeply.

Paul and Bonnie began their life together in Oshawa, where they both worked at General Motors before moving their young family to Edmonton in 1977 in search of job opportunities and new adventures. Paul excelled professionally, building a respected career as a salesman and later General Manager with GH Woods in Edmonton, Grande Prairie, and Calgary. In 1990 he joined Jasper Tank as General Manager where he remained until his retirement at age 65.

His strong work ethic, dedication, integrity, compassion and steady leadership earned him friendship and admiration from both his colleagues and employees alike. Outside of work, Paul was happiest with a project in front of him. He loved tinkering with anything electrical or mechanical – antique radios, clocks, vintage cars, and any gadget that challenged him. His fascination with HAM radios connected him with other enthusiastic supporters who continued to visit and stay in touch with him over the years. In addition, he was an avid Corvette enthusiast.

Paul will be remembered for his generous nature and warm demeanor, always with a sparkle in his eye, ready to tell or be told a good joke, always with a quick and infectious laugh, and a kind heart. He will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

We will miss you dear dad, grandpa, brother, nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.

Rest in peace Paul. Bonnie is waiting for you.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the near future. If you would like to attend, please send a private message on Facebook Messenger to Sallie Klein and details will be shared once arrangements have been finalized. We welcome all who would like to gather, remember Paul and Bonnie, and share stories of how they touched our lives.

Paul and Bonnie requested that their ashes be co-mingled and scattered on the shores and waters of Ahmic Lake in Ahmic Harbour, Ontario, a place filled with cherished memories.

In lieu of flowers and in their memories, please consider donating to a charity of your choice.
