MASTER CORPORAL TIMOTHY JAMES WILSON While carrying out his military duties in Afghanistan, Timothy James Wilson passed away on Saturday, March 4, 2006.

Tim was born in Grande Prairie, AB on July 27, 1975. He also resided in Rainbow Lake, AB and Calgary, AB before moving to Langruth, MB at the age of nine. He happily participated in 4H and enjoyed life on the family farm. Family vacations were spent at Dogtooth Lake, ON where he spent many hours exploring the lake and catching turtles with his brothers, an activity he pursued later with his children. Tim found his calling in PPCLI in 1997. His previous tours of duty include the former Yugoslavia in 2000, Afghanistan in 2002 and Operation Peregrine in 2003. His other military accomplishments were numerous and well respected amongst his peers. Tim was able to revisit his farm roots when he was transferred to Shilo, MB in 2004. He took great enjoyment in being able to provide a rural upbringing for his children. And one of life's pleasures for him was his loyal dog, Spike and walking the perimeter of his property with his GPS.
