William Dale Tytlandsvik

William Dale Tytlandsvik, late of Fillmore, passed away on February 6th, 2026 at 68 years of age.

He was predeceased by his parents, John and Molly Tytlandsvik; his sister, Gaylene Rosebluff; his brother-in-law, Mike Rosebluff.

He is survived by his children: Stephan Tytlandsvik of Brandon, Manitoba, Josh (Kristi) Tytlandsvik of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Cindy Vendrig (Nick Brown) of Saltcoats [Benjamin, Lee], Emma (Catlin) Drysdale of Regina [Liam, Logan, Callum]; sisters Laurie (Darwin) Raes, Joan (Chuck) Rogers, Kathy (Gene) Cugnet, Peggy (Warren) Gaab; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Dale was born October 1st, 1957 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, and grew up on the farm near Maxim. He attended school in Colgate and then Radville, where he graduated. After finishing school, Dale worked at the Weyburn Livestock Exchange before moving on to work dairy in Sedley and Balgonie, eventually owning his own in Craven, where up to 110 cattle were milked.

In 1998, Dale and his sons made the move to Fillmore, Saskatchewan, where he worked as Town Foreman and Water & Sewer Operator for many years. He also spent many winters at the rink as Ice Technician, was a member of the Fillmore Museum Committee, and was Cemetery Caretaker for many years. In 2024, Dale was elected to Village Council, an accomplishment he was especially proud of. He was very much so the Village Welcome Wagon, as reading water meters allowed him to meet every newcomer.

Dale grew up helping on the family farm, tending to the chickens and the pigs, working the garden, and whatever else needed doing. While he eventually left chickens and pigs behind, he continued gardening and was well known for his delicious corn, giant onions, pumpkins, melons, and so on. It was a passion he would later pass on to his daughter and grandson. He never missed helping them plant in the spring, and tried his best to make it out for their annual pumpkin sale in the fall.

While there was a lot of work to be done on the farm as a child, Dale always had time to stop and play pranks on his sisters. From locking his youngest sister in the chicken coop to tricking another into checking piglets in the sow pens for him, Dale always had another trick up his sleeve. He was known for his wry sense of humour and witty one liners to the very end.

Dale was an avid reader, often swapping books with his kids. He loved historical non-fiction and true crime, and when his winters were slow he’d spend a lot of time catching up on reading. When he really loved a book, he’d send a text message recommending it and then would bring the book with him on his next visit to make sure you gave it a shot.

Dale had five grandkids and he adored and spoiled each one. He loved to shop for them for Christmas and birthdays, helped hide chocolates every Easter, and did his best to attend every ball game, horseback lesson, and Christmas concert he could. “Grandpa Dale” will be sorely missed.

Dale was an animal lover his entire life and at the time of his passing, he owned three cats that were incredibly special to him.

Dale’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Paws & Claws Animal Rescue in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Fillmore this summer.
