Kenneth Douglas Crigger
July 27, 1950 – August 13, 2022
Is it with great sadness we announce the passing of Kenneth Douglas Crigger, aged 72 of Dryden Ontario, after a short but fierce battle with cancer on August 13, 2022, at the Dryden Regional Health Centre surrounded by his loved ones.
Kenneth is survived by his wife of 51-years Margaret, daughter Jennifer (James) and his beloved grandchildren Tyler Turgeon (Taylor), Stephanie Beaudoin (Garrett) and Jesse Turgeon. Along with extended family and friends who he also considered his family.
He was predeceased by his beloved daughter Colleen, his parents John and Cybil, siblings Johnny and Wanda and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Kenneth was born in Dryden, Ontario. He began his logging career at a young age with his uncle, George and then worked for many years cutting wood in the bush for The Company. Ken and Margaret raised their two daughters in Minnitaki. His love of the outdoors brought many fishing, hunting and camping trips with family and friends. Ken spent many summers at Godson Lake camping and fishing. His winters were spent with early mornings on the ice road. Ken was a great storyteller and had a story for every back road from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg. His sense of humor always brought laughter to those around him. He will be greatly missed by his loved ones.
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 11 a.m. at the Dryden Community Funeral Home with Pastor Velma Henderson officiating. Interment is to follow.
