Daniel William Courtenay passed away in Lloydminster, SK at the age of 82 years.
Dan was a friendly, outgoing guy who never missed an opportunity for a chat and was widely known for his storytelling—some of it true, some of it improved for entertainment value and some outright fabrications. He spent most of his life drywalling, a career that somehow resulted in a huge network of friends, long-time clients and people who stopped him just to talk. He loved a round of golf, a good laugh, and was incredibly proud of the accomplishments of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Well liked by everyone who knew him, Dan’s legacy lives on in the family he raised, the friendships he built, the homes he helped shape and the countless stories that will continue to be told whenever his name comes up.
Dan is survived by: his children, Penny Gervais, Candy Courtenay and Daniel Courtenay (Tanya Albers); grandchildren, Trish (Shawn) Pick, Sandra Gervais (Daryl Morrant), Jessie McAllister (Kelsea Heeroma), Jeffrey Gervais, Sydnie Jenkins and Lincoln Albers; great-grandchildren, Gemma McAllister, Rylan Pick, Jaqueline Pick and Kiara McAllister; brother, Ted (Zoni) Courtenay; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Dan was predeceased by his: beloved wife, Linda Courtenay; daughter, Sherri McAllister, son-in-law, Donny Gervais; granddaughters, baby Danielle and baby Angela; brother, Lionel Courtenay; sister, Isabel Burns; and parents, Edward and Elsie Courtenay.
The Funeral Service for Dan will be held at Moose Lodge, Lloydminster, Alberta on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM.
Donations in memory of Dan may be made to charity of choice.
