MUYARD: Gerald Baptiste
October 1, 1944 - January 8, 2014
The death of Mr. Gerald Baptiste Muyard of Humboldt, SK, occurred at Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. He was 69 years of age. Gerry was born on October 1, 1944 to Marcel and Rose (nee Bens) Muyard in the Cudworth district and attended school grades K-8 at St. Benedict and 9-10 at Cudworth. He ran the family farm for many years and also worked for local farmers in the Cudworth area. In 1989, he moved to Humboldt and worked as a welder at Doepker Industries until he retired in 2008 due to health problems. Gerry was a hardworker and during his retirement years, he did maintenance in the apartment building where he lived. He also kept himself occupied with gardening and yard work at both his and his children's homes, but his life revolved around his immediate and extended family. Gerry was a very patient, kind person and a loving father and grandfather. He was known for looking like his father but his personality was that of his mothers. He had a gentle soul and will be forever missed. Gerry is survived by his partner of 40 years, Carol (nee Fugger) Muyard of Humboldt; four children: Derek (Connie) Muyard of Turtleford, SK, and their children McKenzie, Keely and Destiny; Regan (Debby) Muyard of Deschambault Lake, SK, and their children Bobby and Brayden; Juanine(Garret) Korte of Muenster, SK, and their children Morgan, Abbie and Adam; Austin Muyard of Saskatoon, SK and his children Brittany and Brennan; six sisters: Jean(Norm) Wilde of Cudworth, SK; Phyllis(Bert) Imhoff of St. Walburg, SK; Jackie(Sid) Schmidt of Wakaw Lake, SK; Bev(Leroy) Renneberg of Cudworth, SK; Sylvia(Claude) Prefontaine of Bonnyville, AB; Annette Tyshynski of Hinton, AB; one brother, Lynn(Lorna) Muyard of Martensville, SK; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
