It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a wonderful and loving Dad and Grandpa. Alan Robert Graves was born on November 28, 1926 and grew up in Springside, SK. He was the youngest of five children, born to George and Emily Graves. On October 1, 1949, Alan married Jessie Benjamin. They lovingly welcomed their first child, Faye Jessie on August 6, 1952. In 1957, son Garry Grant was born, but passed away shortly after his birth. Alan and Jessie were blessed to welcome twin boys, Glenn Sidney and Gregory Alan on February 26, 1962. Alan and Jessie lived in Yorkton until 1995, in which time they moved to Regina to be closer to family. Alan devoted his life to his family and his carpentry skills were always in demand as he completed numerous renovations for family. Our father passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 23, 2020 in Regina, SK at the age of 93 years. Alan was predeceased by his wife Jessie; his son Garry Grant; brothers Sidney (Edna), John (Christine), Dorothy (Harry) and Jim (Evelyn).
