  Obituary: Delmar W. Clair 1949-2026 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our father Delmar William Clair following a brief battle with cancer on March 26, 2026, at the Westlock Healthcare Facility in Westlock, AB. He was 76 years of age. Dad was born in Bath, NB on Sept 9, 1949, and lived all his life up until 1990 in Gordonsville, NB at which point he moved to Slave Lake, AB and eventually to Flat Bush, AB, where he resided and made countless friends up until his passing. Delmar was predeceased by his parents Bill and Josephine (Giberson) Clair; his sister Betty Walker of Grand Falls; and his sister in-law Lois (Dyer) Clair. He is survived by his children Jason Clair and Tonya Clair; their mother Rayma Dyer; and four grand-children, Dylan Clair, Eian Clair, Austin Legacy and Jaxon Bill Clair. He is also survived by his brother David Clair; brother-in-law John Walker; and nieces and nephews Dessarea Clair (Adam), Corey Clair (Lorna), Claudia Walker and Willy Walker as well as several great nieces, nephews, and cousins. Dad always loved being a trucker and put on millions of miles over his lifetime. He was widely known in the trucking industry, some go as far as to say he was a legend. He met thousands of people over his career and had many close friends, some whom have passed over in recent years. Dad would always say “well, there’s one less of us now”, it was like losing a family member to him. I always looked up to my father, and he showed me what hard work and dedication was all about.If anyone was to say to dad how hard of a worker he was, he would simply say “what? I haven’t worked a day in my life”. Trucking was more than just a job to dad, it was a lifestyle. A lifestyle that suited dad (Prairie Prowler to many) perfectly! He will be missed by his family and his many, many friends. Dad definitely lived the kind of life that most men only dream of. A graveside service will be held at a later date for family and friends at the Gordonsville Community Cemetery. Donations to the cemetery in dad’s memory would be greatly appreciated. https://www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca/obituaries/191161
