Obituary of John Ogilvie

The stage lights just go a little dimmer, center stage just a little more spacious, the music missing a rhythm guitar and vocals. Country music just lost a very special performer and entertainer. It is with great sadness and heavy heart that we announce the passing of John Norman Ogilvie, on September 3, 2012, at the Regina General Hospital. John was liked and well known by many, and always had a very soft spot for animals and children, especially dogs and horses. He always had a guitar by his side and a tune on his mind to share. His jokes, infectious smile and laugh will forever be missed. John is survived by his step daughter Leanne (Thoreson) and her son Ethan Ulph; his former wife Judith (Hector) Ogilvie; brothers, George (Marlene Rose), Hubert (Joan) and sister-in-law Alice (Pete) Ogilvie. John was predeceased by his father Rugless, his mother Maggie and his son Blair; sister Katy and brothers Pete, William (Mickey) and Fred; brother-in-law Asbjorn Hvomb and sister-in-law Dorris (William). The celebration of life/memorial tea for John will be held on September 15, 2012 from 2 – 4 p.m. at the Cadillac Community Hall, Cadillac, SK. Memorial donations will be used to help pay for the ceremony, as well as the remainder going to a trust fund for Leanne’s son Ethan. You can mail donations to Leanne Ulph, Box 116 Neville, SK S9H 1T0. Flowers gratefully declined. Arrangements in care of Parkside Memorial Funeral Home.
