Obituary of Sidney Peepeetch

The family of Sidney Peepeetch of Little Bone First Nation, sadly annonce his passing on July 18, 2025. Sidney was 79 years of age.

Sidney St. Pierre Peepeetch was born on July 8, 1946 in Yorkton, SK to Alex and Mary Delia (nee Henry Zaste) Peepeetch. He was one of fourteen children and was the only boy. He was raised on Little Bone Reserve. He attended school at Crescent Lake and completed grade three. At that time he started working alongside his father fencing, working the land and hunting. This is where he learned many life skills.

Through friends, Sidney met Sharon Henry. Together they raised six children. They were married in 1984 and resided on Minoahchuk First Nation. Here he worked alongside the chief as one of the councilors, a position that he was very good at. In his spare time Sidney enjoyed trapping and hunting and helping out friends and family, as he was a skilled laborer and would always lend a helping hand.

Sidney was a good and honest man. His love for his children and especially his grandchildren was unconditional. Even though Sidney and Sharon separated, they still remained close friends and shared the love of their family.

Sidney is predeceased by his parents Alex and Delia, his son Bruce Peepeetch and his sisters Doreen Myron (Peepeetch), Violet Peepeetch, Mary Boehm (Peepeetch), Olive Flamont (Peepeetch), Cecilia Wasacase (Peepeetch), Rosie Peepeetch, Marcelline Peepeetch, Alexandria Pelletier (Peepeetch), Dora Ponakey (Peepeetch), Myrtle Peepeetch and Mary Essenail (Peepeetch) and his step brother Allen James.

Sidney is survived by Sharon Peepeetch, and his children; Sheldon (Crystal) Peepeetch, Alex Peepeetch, Sherman Peepeetch, Ashley Peepeetch Sr. and Cynthia Gordon-Peepeetch, his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren and numerous extended family and friends.
