McLeod, Norman Stanley

Stan was born on the family farm in the Buckland District on April 28, 1935 to Norman and Gladys (Forshner) McLeod. Stan sadly passed away April 22, 2024 just shy of his 89th birthday. He lived a very full and colorful life with his loving wife, Kaye McLeod by his side for 70 years. Stan loved the field of aviation. He was in the RCAF and was stationed in many provinces throughout his career. He designed and built the Cavalier Airplane and sold the plans to other enthusiasts all over the world. Stan was a man of many talents. He had a passion for creating art and particularly loved painting and wood-working. He loved spending time with his family, camping, quading, rock picking, gravel running, cooking and gardening.  Stan is lovingly missed by his wife, Kaye McLeod; his four children: Norman (Denise) McLeod Airdrie,  AB, Kimberley (Brian) Clifford, Shelby Caron and Jeri (Cliff) Primeau, all of Glaslyn SK; his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a few great-great-grandchildren; his brother: Wilbur (Anita) McLeod Castlegar BC; and his nieces and nephews. He is previously deceased by his parents Norman and Gladys (Forshner) McLeod; sister, Evelyn Sanderson; brother in-law, Sandy Sanderson; and his son in-law, Marcel Caron. A private Celebration of Life will be held for the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in memory of Stan can be directed to STARS Canada or the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
