Mr. Warren Walker Wilderman

Warren Walker Wilderman – TRI W – passed away unexpectedly in Victoria, British Columbia. Warren leaves behind his only child, Walker R. Wilderman of High River, Alberta, whom he loved fully and wholeheartedly and was so incredibly proud of. Warren was raised on the original W.H. Wilderman family farm southeast of Blackie on Highway 23. In his early adult years, Warren proudly farmed alongside his father as the 4th Generational Farmer on ‘Old Glory’ until the farms sale in 2006, one year after the farms 100th year celebration. Warren’s childhood saw him being schooled at Blackie School from kindergarten to grade 8, Senator Riley High School in High River from grade 9 to 11, to graduating high school from Western Canada High School in Calgary in 1993. Warren was extremely active in playing sports, hockey and golf, but his absolute passion was baseball where he played the position of Pitcher. Warren played in the Joe Shea Little League, whose team based out of High River, won the League Championships when he was 12 years old. Warren moved on to play competitively with the American Legion League throughout Southern Alberta and the Northern States, to the Calgary Longhorns, Senior Men’s Division. Upon graduating high school Warren played College Ball at Treasure Valley College in Oregon and Eastern Oregon State, Oregon. Warren enjoyed travelling and the opportunities it gave him to visit various places. Warren travelled to Australia where he worked as a Custom Combiner to then explore the country coast to coast. He enjoyed two other separated travel adventures seeing him explore Thailand and Malaysia to then visiting Argentina and Costa Rica on another venturesome trip. While these worldly trips were full of sights and stories, Warren loved to holiday to many of the unique baseball stadiums in the U.S.A. watching a great baseball series to playing an enjoyable game of golf on a destination trip. While living in British Columbia these past few years, Warren never lost his love of the land of Southern Alberta. Blackie was first and foremost his hometown, and he took pride of being a member of the Blackie Lions Club and the Mossleigh Gun Club. When opportunities arose for him to help local farmers at harvest, he always made himself available to help work the land he loved. Warren is survived by his mother Heather Wilderman (Victoria, BC), his sister Mary-Ellen Wilderman-Hay and her husband Bradley Hay (Vancouver, BC), and niece Emily Hay and her partner Ricardo Rodriguez (Vancouver, BC). Warren was predeceased by his father Walter H. Wilderman in 2020 and his niece Alexandra C. Hay in 2022. A Celebration of Life for Warren will be held on Tuesday, July 29th, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Highwood Cemetery in High River, Alberta. Caring for the family is Lyle Reeves Funerals of High River (Craig Snodgrass) 403.652.4242.
