Leonelle Brunet passed peacefully in his home on January 25, 2019 in Hafford, SK at the age of 80. Leonelle is survived by his children, Melvina Bear, Leona Towers, Camille Brunet (Morris Phillips), Lyle Brunet (Tania) and Jennifer Payne, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 19 grand children, 9 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded by his parents Barame and Jeanne “Jane” Brunet, 2 sisters, 4 brothers, 3 grandchildren as well as several nieces and nephews. Leonelle was born February 26, 1938 in Prince Albert, SK and attended Oscar Lake School in Central Saskatchewan. Leonelle purchased his homestead farm in 1962 in the R.M. of Meeting Lake. He continued life as a mixed livestock and grain farmer, father, and husband. He continued to farm until the summer of 2018 on a quarter he purchased just outside of Hafford “for fun” in his “retirement.” Leonelle will be remembered as industrious, brilliant, charming, and loyal with a unique sense of humor and dedication to his family, friends and community. A celebration of his life will be held in Cherished Memories ‘LifeStory Room’ at 7:00pm, January 31st 2019 with Rick Lane officiating in Martensville, SK with a small luncheon to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hafford Home Care, Box 130 Hafford, SK, S0J 1A0 would be greatly appreciated.

My deepest sympathies on the loss of a great man. I didnt know him well only what Jennifer had shared with me and when I saw him at horse events. I was in awe of him when I bought squares hay bales from him last year and he was swinging those bales 2 at a time and of course having him pull us put when my dads truck got stuck in the yard. May his memory and his celebrations of his life and all he did bring peace to you in the days, weeks and years ahead.
Loving friend, Diane
So sorry for your loss. The loss of a parent is a pain like no other and no amount of time can heal your but keep in mind that the memories you guys shared with that loved one will forever live in your heart. Cherish those memories, share the stories with family and friends and support one another.
Attachment
Our thoughts and prayers to all your family. You were truly blessed to have such a wonderful father.
Thinking of you with sympathy, love and a prayer that God will lessen your loss, and keep you in his care
Sending love and strength during this difficult time. ♡
I was very sad to hear of Uncle Leonelle’s passing last week.
When we got the news in early Dec of his diagnosis it was hard to believe that he would be leaving us so soon. Uncle was serious natured but kind and always made us laughter with his quick wit and dry humor. He was incredibly generous with his time and would help anyone in need and always took time for a visit if anyone stopped by. Coming back to Hafford will never be the same without you Uncle. Rest in peace in the loving arms of Jesus till we all meet again.
Lovingly remembered by
Niece Linda (Brunet) Guenther
