WENSTROM, Duane December 4, 1955- March 8, 2013 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and great friend, Duane Wenstrom. Duane passed away suddenly in his home on Friday, March 8, 2013. Duane was born on December 4, 1955 in Calgary and grew up in Langdon, Alberta. He attended Chestermere High School and then pursued a heavy duty mechanic diploma at SAIT. After graduating he began working in the family fuel and fertilizer business until the year 2000. From 2000 to present day Duane established and ran his own successful fuel business, Bowridge Petro Ltd. Duane married Cristina in 1981 and they raised three beautiful daughters together. He was an extremely kind, honest and generous man whom everyone loved to be around. Duane was always there for anyone who needed a helping hand.
