Obituary of Calwyn Dwayne Neilson

Calwyn (Cal) Dwayne Neilson was born in Empress Alberta on July 11, 1962 and passed away in his home in Acadia Valley on December 18, 2025. He was the youngest son of Chester and Kay Neilson.

Cal went to school in Acadia Valley and then took logistics training. At first he hauled gravel in Alberta and then moved into long distance trucking. He hauled mainly to United States and knew where every state was. In 2007 Cal travelled to the Philippines and met Rachel Camay. They were married and had a baby girl, Calyn Katie (who now identifies as Kylan). In 2009 Rachel and Kylan moved to Canada. Currently Rachel lives in Regina and Kylan lives with Auntie Brenda in Calgary

In recent years, when Cal was no longer working, he spent a lot of time with his parents. His Mom was Cal's supporting strength and he was completely devastated when she passed on in 2021. After that Cal spent time with Kylan going to hockey games and quading in Alberta and B.C.

Frequently he took Kylan's best friends, Alex and Daniel, along. The four had lots of fun together. Only a month ago in November Cal took a trip to Asia. He enjoyed visiting his Pilipino family and friends. Rachel's mother wanted Cal to stay so she could take care of him. Maybe he should have stayed.

Cal is survived by his daughter (son) Kylan, his estranged wife Rachel, his sister Brenda and his brother Randy (Sharon), three nieces and one nephew.

A service will be held later in the spring.
