It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Blaine Guenther on January 29, 2022. Blaine passed peacefully, with his wife by his side.

He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Brenda, sons Jesse and Dylan, sister Brenda Baschuk, and nephews who were second sons, Dale and Mark Baschuk.

Blaine lived large and had a full and adventurous life. He was well known for his very distinctive and hearty laugh and his huge propensity for telling it like it is, sometimes to the chagrin of those around him. He definitely marched to the beat of his own drum and was passionate about everything he did. Blaine was key in teaching his sons and nephews so many valuable life skills and pleasures.

He owned and operated Nopiming Lodge for 42 years with his family and was well known and loved by the many customers for his generosity and amazing work ethic. He was always willing to jump in to lend a hand with everything. He loved and respected nature and the outdoors. Fishing, hunting, trapping, boating and snowmobiling were all dear to him. He cofounded the Snomads club with Arnie and Brenda. Blaine was famous for organizing and hosting the annual pig roast for the Snomads that was enjoyed by many.

He will be forever missed by his wife Brenda, his sons Jesse and Dylan, the rest of his family and large circle of friends.
Blaine, thank you for the wonderful joy and adventure you brought to our lives. You have touched our hearts in an everlasting way.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
