Peter Bushman Obituary

Peter Donald (Don) Bushman June 9, 1955 – July 10, 2016 Peter Donald Bushman passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 10th, at Sherbrooke Village in Saskatoon, SK. He was 61 years old. Peter , better known as Donald, was born June 9, 1955, at Nokomis hospital, to Peter and Agnes Bushman ( nee Schroeder). He was the fifth child in a family of ten children — three girls and seven boys: Leslie, Elsie, Marie, Leonard, Donald, Eldon, Ken, Edith, Rick and Rob. Donald lived on the family farm and attended Lockwood, Drake and Lanigan schools. At about age seven, Donald began to have seizures. After many medical appointments and tests he was diagnosed with epilepsy. He continued to attend school and participated in activities as much as he was able to. After Grade 9, studies became too difficult. He could no longer continue due to missing too many classes because of his illness. A health worker recommended to Peter and Agnes that Donald should move to Saskatoon where there was greater opportunity for him to learn a trade and become independent in his interaction with others. After much thought and prayer, Peter and Agnes decided to move Donald to Saskatoon. There he was welcomed into a home with several others who attended school together. He made friends, went to work, had independence and he was happy. He came home to visit family on weekends and special occasions. In 2008 he became a resident of Sherbrooke Nursing Home. After several falls and hospital stays, Don was confined to a wheelchair and eventually to his bed. Donald accepted Jesus as his personal Savior when he was a child, and he was baptized in 1971 and became a member of the Philadelphia MB Church. He attended Arlington Beach Bible Camp where he was encouraged in his walk with Jesus. Donald was predeceased by his Dad, Peter Bushman and sister -in-law Elsie Bushman (nee Warkentin). Mourning his passing are his siblings: Les (Tina), Elsie (Fred) Toman, Marie (Doug) Fick, Len (Betty Ann), Eldon, Ken (Marilyn), Edith (Dale) Driediger, Rick (Lynette), Rob (Kim); as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces nephews, cousins and friends.
