Wallace was born on September 3rd, 1962 in Gladstone, Manitoba & raised in Sandy Bay First Nation, Manitoba. As Wallace grew older by each year he tended to his activities, he was always a very busy man, always putting himself to work. Wallace spent most of his time picking up scrap, fixing up anything and everything he possibly could, always helping friends and family work on their vehicles.  Wallace loved spending time with family, his sons & grandchildren, Wallace has always adored his grandchildren, his family was his rock. He also loved driving around in his car. Anyone who knew Wallace knew he was coming down the road when you would see his little Purple Malibu car.

He was someone who has lived well, laughed often and loved much. Who leaves the world better than he found it…

The loss of our father will always sting. But now, everything that we do is in honor of him and to celebrate his life.
