It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Ira Doyle Schmidt, 60, on October 7, 2026, in Waldheim, SK.

Ira was born on October 9,1965,5 in Saskatoon, SK as the eldest child of Dan and Hilda Schmidt.

When he was preschool age, the family moved to Waldheim, SK. Ira completed all his schooling there. After high school, Ira went to broadcasting school and then took a job at a TV station in Swift Current, SK. He worked there for about 6 months before he was called home to help with the family business. Ira worked alongside both his parents, drilling water wells for the majority of his life. After his parents retired, Ira completed a course to become a security guard and enjoyed that career. He concluded by driving a school bus for a few years.

Ira had a keen interest in spiritual things and a love for his Creator, Jehovah. On April 14, 2007, he was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

On Jan 16, 2010, Ira married Kari (Temple) and they lived in Waldheim, SK.

Ira had many talents and interests including reading and being an excellent reader; golfing; watching movies; editing videos; and cats, especially his favorite, Pete. Ira had a love for music that included a wealth of knowledge about many genres, and he was a self-taught drummer.

Ira will be remembered for his attention to detail and his dependability.

He was predeceased by both his parents, Dan and Hilda Schmidt.  Ira is survived by his loving wife, Kari; his sister, Patricia; his niece, Terri-Lynn and his nephew, Mark.
