Dexter Merrill Wilde

Just a ‘cowboy and his lady’, Dexter Merrill Wilde, beloved husband of Lourdes Lynn Wilde of Welling, Alberta, passed away at Lethbridge Chinook Regional Hospital on September 11, 2024, at the age of 79 years.

Dexter is the loving father of Carrie Wilde (Guillaume), Jaime Wilde (Brett), Tammy Wilde (Michael), Shian Wilde (Chelsey).

He is also the loving grandfather of Corbin and Hadley Wilde, Hayden and Salomon Hounjet and Kellen Wilde-Turvey.

He is survived by his brothers, Darwin (Sue) and Cameron (Wendy) Wilde.

He was predeceased by his parents, Betty and Elmer Wilde.

Dexter was a small-town cowboy at heart, who lit up any room he walked into.  He was authentic, blessed with a great sense of humour and had an impeccable sense of ‘cowboy’ style.  His strong work ethic began at a young age, helping him build his company, Wagon Train Express. This good-looking thoughtful cowboy will be dearly missed by his family.
