Obituary: W

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of WES K. B. WRIGHT at his home on April 26, 2025, at the age of 62. Wes carried the strong values of family, hard work, and loyalty with him throughout his life.

We regretfully announce the passing of WILLIAM (BILL) D. HENDERSON (III) on Sunday, April 27, 2025. Our sadness is only tempered by our gratefulness to have shared almost 91 years of life with him and we accept his gentle passing to a long-deserved rest and “happier forever life”. Bill was a much beloved patriarch of the local Henderson group of families that have called Lethbridge home since the late 1800’s. Bill was predeceased by his loving mother Jean and father William S. Henderson (II) who fought valiantly in WWI, and also his grandfather William Henderson (I) and grandmother (Margaret) who immigrated from Scotland in 1879 and settled in Lethbridge in 1885. William Henderson (I) was a prominent local business man and a former Mayor of Lethbridge (1908-1909).
