PELLETIER - It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Clinton Dwayne Pelletier, age 27 on Sunday, September 28, 2014 at the Yorkton Regional Health Center. Clinton was born In Yorkton, SK on October 3, 1986. At a young age Clinton's family moved to Valley River First Nation where he attended elementary school in Grandview and Valley River, eventually they moved back to Yorkton where he attended high school at Yorkton Regional. As a child, Clinton played hockey as a Grand Plains Hawk and Yorkton Lions Terrier. He also played baseball as a Yorkton Cardinal. Clinton and his dad travelled a lot from Saskatchewan to BC. Those memories Dwayne SR holds close to his heart. Clinton worked as a drywaller with his dad and his big brothers. They worked in Yorkton, Calgary and Saskatoon. Clint loved all his brothers very much and spent time with them as much as possible. He was an avid sports enthusiast. He was a huge Saskatchewan Roughrider Fan and a Montreal Canadians Fan. He loved to rent UFC fights and watch them with his brothers and friends. Clint took up the game of golf these past few years, he would go play with his dad, brothers & friends. For years the family would get together for Texas Hold'em games in the basement of Ashwood Place. In the last few months at home, Clinton learned how to play waahoo, he enjoyed playing the game with his parents and family members. On December 9, 2011, Clinton's life changed forever, he became a father. He lovingly welcomed his daughter, Anna Rain Lee McKay-Pelletier into this world. Anna was Daddy's #1 Baby girl. No matter how sick he was he took care of Anna, she was his world. Clint was always optimistic about beating his cancer. In the last weeks of Clint's life, he was more determined than ever, knowing that his daughter was coming home to live with him in January. After a 3 year courageous battle with cancer, Clint decided not to continue with the western tradition medicine and decided to go back to his grassroots and seek the help of a Medicine Man. Through all the treatments and hospital visits, Clint's spirits remained vibrant. He always had a smile on his face and loved to joke around. Clint was always a respectable man, as sick as he was, he thought about others before himself, he would pray for family and friends. Clint accepted the Lord into his heart and life. Family and friends would come visit the family and read the good book to him and pray with him.
