<div itemprop="description">On Saturday, September 13, 2014 at the age of 66 years, Charles Dufour (Sonny) passed peacefully in his sleep to be with his Heavenly Father. <br /><br />He was predeceased by his mother Violet Dufour; father Frances Charles Dufour; and brother Allen Dufour. <br /><br />He leaves to mourn the love of his life and wife of 46 years Shirley; his daughters Tammy (Miguel), Nadine (Trevor) and Danielle (Mourad); and grandchildren Crystal (Graem), Carmen and Theron. <br /><br />He left school at a very young age to begin a passionate career in construction eventually specializing in concrete. He was a proud First Nations man who led by example. He was successful in life and love due in part to his strong work ethic, tenacity, integrity and devotion to his family and God. <br /><br />He faced his diagnosis of MDS and subsequent complications with acceptance, grace and dignity. He always reminded everyone that he was living one day at a time; holding firm to his faith in the Lord and one day life everlasting. <br /><br />The family would like to express sincere thanks to the lovely nurses who would make his day by greeting him with smiles and laughter. <br /><br />Thank you to Dr. Duffy and Dr. Van Heerden for their quality care, compassion and respect. <br /><br />In lieu of flowers please donate blood or contribute to MDS research c/o Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, 204-3775 Pasqua Street, Regina, Saskatchewan S4S 6W8. <br /><br />A CELEBRATION OF CHARLES'S LIFE will be held at Regina Funeral Home, Hwy #1 East, Regina, SK on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. <br /><br />Arrangements entrusted to Regina Funeral Home (306) 789-8850.</div>
