Obituary of Dennis Charles Sedgbeer

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So He closed His arms around you, And He whispered "Come to Me". You do not deserve what you went through, And so He gave you rest, God's garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best. In time we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. SEDGBEER, Dennis Charles - At the age of 77, Dennis died peacefully following a brave battle with cancer, with family by his side at Bluewater Health, Palliative Care, on Saturday, December 1, 2007, two days before his 78th birthday. Beloved husband of Pat Sedgbeer. Predeceased by his late wife Pamela Sedgbeer in 1988. Loving father of Jenny (Bob), Corunna, Gary (Sandra), Quebec, and Stephen, Calgary; and step-father of the MacDonald family, Rick (Cathy), Oakville, Mick (Debbie) and Mark, Sarnia, and Janice (Ed), NS. Beloved grandfather of Jacqueline, Jason, Jenny and Nina, Brandon, Kyle, Jamie, and Colin. He will be missed by his best friend "Zack" who he faithfully walked everyday before his sickness. Dennis leaves behind many more in-law relatives and friends, some from England, Australia, and Florida. If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven, and bring you home again. Dennis was a comedic actor with Sarnia Little Theatre from 1976-1986.
