Obituary of Martin Chabot

CHABOT, MARTIN
December 13, 1950 – April 19, 2020

Martin was born December 13, 1950 to Ernest and Stella (nee Lalonde) Chabot.  He was the seventh of ten children growing up on the family farm one mile north of Zenon Park, SK.

On May 12, 1972, Martin married Sandra Will.  They returned to Zenon Park to farm and raise their family of four until moving to Nipawin in 1988.

Martin was involved in several agribusiness ventures throughout his life: Prairie Fiber, Parkland Alfalfa Products Ltd., and Parkland Terminal Ltd.  Martin most enjoyed working with his three sons at Parkland Terminal.  The continued support and friendship of farmers, contractors, employees and business partners was important to him.

Martin’s grandchildren were his pride and joy. At family gatherings he could usually be found with a grandchild sitting on his lap. He loved to tease, take them for rides in his side-by-side and cheer them on at the hockey rink.  

He will be remembered for his quick wit and dry sense of humor. Family gatherings will not be the same without his story telling and the lively political debates. The family has many special memories of time spent snowmobiling, quading, boating, ice fishing and hunting with Martin.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife Sandra, their four children and ten grandchildren:
Richard (Chelsey) Chabot Lauren, Brooklyn, Paige; Philip (Kathy) Chabot William, Katelyn, Andy, Matthew, Sarah; Paul Chabot; Anne (John) Srayko  Eloise, Oliver; his sisters and brother: Loraine Chabot, Helene (Maurice) Bussiere, Bernice (Butch) Berdusco, Giselle Favreau, Cyrille (Dona) Chabot; sister-in-law Estelle McCrea and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Martin was predeceased by his parents; sisters Isabelle, Valerie, Pauline Casavant; brother Emile and brother-in-law Ed Casavant.

The family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of St. Paul’s Hospital for the care and empathy they provided under the very unusual circumstances of the Covid-19 protocol. There will be no service at this time due to Covid-19.
