A well-known and beloved member of the community passed away in late May.

William Sinclair died on May 24 following a battle with cancer that spanned several years. 聽

Born in Scotland, Sinclair came to Canada when he was 21, and eventually came to Estevan.聽

Throughout his life, Sinclair worked as a musician, a writer, a lay minister in the Catholic church, a motivational speaker and a podcaster, among other jobs.

In an interview with 麻豆视频east Lifestyles earlier this year, he noted that he used to have a lot of anger, but he was able to find peace and develop a positive outlook in life. He used that outlook to help others.

Sinclair and his wife Edrina operated a Bible camp in Kenosee Lake for a few years, and they also penned a column, Dirty Socks and Banana Bread, that appeared in Lifestyles from 2011-2015. They moved to Moose Jaw in 2012 to launch a career as speakers, and then moved to Kenosee Lake.聽

They moved back to Estevan earlier this year to be closer to their family.

The Sinclairs had four children, Maria, Michelle, David and Nicole, and three grandchildren.

Since he died, tributes to Sinclair have been pouring in on Facebook and other websites where his obituary is posted. People have been recognizing him for the outlook that he had, and for his generous nature.

A graveside was held on May 27 at the Estevan City Cemetery. The service was posted online so that people who couldn鈥檛 attend could watch it.

In lieu of flowers, his family asked for donations to the William Sinclair Reading Space at the Estevan Family Centre. This can be done by visiting a GoFundMe campaign page that was created, or the Estevan Family Resource Centre鈥檚 website.

The family centre was among the many organizations that Sinclair and his family have supported over the years.聽
