William Robert Ferguson

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bill, our much loved brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to many on July 17, 2024, at the age of 69.  Bill was born on November 13, 1954, the third child to William and Donalda Ferguson of Neepawa.  He attended Dumfries School, Hazel M. Kellington, Viscount School and then Neepawa Area Collegiate.   

Bill was active in his community, always willing to lend a helping hand.  He organized many trail rides and poker derbies to give to charities, Neepawa Area Palliative Care and CF families were amongst them.  Need a ride for a social or other event, Bill would be there with a bus to get everyone home safely.   He loved to chat with everyone and what better way than a captive audience.  Bill’s love for the outdoors kept him busy, riding his quad or snowmobile.  He always enjoyed spending times with friends around a bonfire.

Bill worked many jobs over the years but his favorite was the years he spent with Loeppky’s custom combining crew when they travelled south.  He always shared lots of stories and remained friends with many of them. 

Bill was predeceased by his parents, William and Donalda.  He will be missed by his sister Linda, her children Daryl, Michele (Ben), Kiara and Connor; brother Doug (Doreen); sister Brenda and brother Blair, his children 0Ryan and Grace (Justin), as well as numerous cousins and many friends.

A celebration of Bill’s life will held at his home, on Saturday, Oct. 5th, starting at 1:00pm.  Come and enjoy one final bonfire with Bill. Please bring a lawn chair.

If friends so wish, donations may be made to Neepawa District Palliative Care, Canadian Diabetes Assoc. or a charity of choice.
