Scott George Fair

May 14, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Scott George Fair on Saturday, May 14, 2016 in Regina, SK. He was predeceased by his parents Mary and Joseph. Scott is survived by his wife Donna of Regina, SK and son Scott of Edinburgh, Scotland; sisters Leslie (Edward), Josephine (Mark), Helen (Allan), Rosemary (Shug); brother Ian, all of Scotland; as well as numerous nieces and nephews in Scotland.

Scotty was also loved by his Canadian family: his mother-in-law and father-in-law Olga and Vern Apperley; five brothers-in-law Raymond (Donna), Darrell (Judy), Darren (Terri), Barry (Jessica), Cameron (Ashley); sisters-in-law Cheryl and Colleen (Darcey); as well as numerous nieces and nephews in Canada.

Scotty was born September 3, 1967 in Edinburgh, Scotland. At a very young age, he joined the Royal Scots, British Army. Scotty was posted in Northern Ireland, Germany, and CFB Suffield in Ralston, Alberta. In 1992, Scotty left the Royal Scots and joined 32 Signal Regiment, until his retirement in 2009.

In 2006, Scotty came to Canada where he was posted for 3 years; it was at this time he met his wife Donna. In 2009, Scotty immigrated to Canada. Scotty always had a smile on his face and made everyone laugh. He will be missed by his co-workers at Westexcel/Apperley Electric, where he worked for four years as the general manager of the warehouse.

Thank you to all the Nurses and Doctors for the care given to Scott and special thanks to the Palliative Care Unit at the Pasqua Hospital.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in Holy Family Parish, 1021 McCarthy Blvd N., Regina, SK. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to www.erskine.org.uk, a Veteran’s Hospital for British Soldiers.

Dear Scotty, You were not only a great brother-in-law and uncle to our family. You were a spectator to our children's activities. You were always offering and willing to help us out, no matter the task. Always fifteen minutes early with a smile on your face. You were a true friend who will always be missed and never forgotten. Rest in Peace our Brother Scotty.

Scotty was a larger than life character, he was a hugely popular member of 61 (City of Edinburgh) Signal Squadron. There was always fun and laughter when he was around. On behalf of all members of 32 Signal Regiment Donna and wee Scott are remembered in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Scotty. Certa Cito

I had the pleasure of serving with "Fairy" as we called him during his time with 61(City of Edinburgh) Signal Squadron (V). I was his Sergeant Major and eventually his Officer Commanding. A very capable and humorous young man. Always polite, always enjoying his service life and I have nothing but fond memories of this lad. Delighted to hear he was able to build up a loving family in Canada but sad to hear of his grave illness. God Bless you Fairy.
