Lorne Robinson

Lorne Norman Robinson was born on December 17, 1964, in Canora, Saskatchewan, to Norman and Olga (Lindgren) Robinson. He grew up in Norquay, attending the local schools and spending much of his childhood following his father around the family store. From the moment he could walk, Lorne was eager to learn, absorbing everything he could from Norman and building countless friendships within those familiar walls. In his younger years, Lorne enjoyed playing football, baseball, curling and hunting. Many weekends were spent with the Henderson cousins, and he treasured family trips up north. He enjoyed dirt biking, and snowmobiling.After completing meat-cutting training at Kelsey College in 1985, Lorne began cutting wild meat, steadily honing his craft. Over the years, though the store changed names and expanded more than once, his commitment to improving it never wavered. He was always experimenting with new recipes, seasonings, and ideas—constantly striving to make things better. Like his father, Lorne truly cherished his coffee time with friends and the chance to visit with the community he loved.On August 7, 1993, Lorne married Colleen Suchy in Norquay, SK. Together, they purchased a lot at Parr Hill Lake and moved a cabin onto it, creating a place filled with memories. They spent many winters on the snowmobile trails, and Lorne—along with a group of Norquay friends—helped establish the Prairie and Pine Sno Riders, developing trails throughout the area. He also had a lifelong love of classic and original vehicles and enjoyed collecting, restoring, and flipping them.When his daughters, Allison and Abby, were born, Lorne found immense joy in teaching them to fish, quad, snowmobile, and motorbike. They enjoyed many trips together as a family. He was a devoted and proud father who would do anything for his girls. Lorne is predeceased by his parents, Norman and Olga Robinson, and his father-in-law, Donald Suchy. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Colleen; his daughters, Allison and Abby; and his sister, Libbie. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Mary Suchy; brother and sister-in-law, Darren and Deborah Humphries; nephew, Carter; nieces, Lexi and Maya; as well as many cousins, extended family members, and countless friends.DonationsThose wishing to make expressions of sympathy may do so by donating to the Norquay Memorial Tree Project or a charity of their choice, in memory of Lorne.
