Condolences
To Michelle, Sheldon, Megan, Brock and all the kids:
My sincere apologies for not being able to attend the service. Dwayne was one of the most patient, compassionate souls that I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I cannot recall a single moment that I spent in his presence that wasn't filled with peace and laughter. I remember the cabin, taking the boat out on the lake, Christmas at the house in Calgary. All moments of joy so clear in my memory that they still bring a smile to my face. The Donnelly family was and continues to be quite large but that never stopped Dwayne from being interested in knowing each of us and he was always the life of the party when we would all get together. Time has not dampened my feeling of deep sadness knowing of his passing but that feeling rightfully pales when you were all so blessed to know him as a husband, father and grandfather.
I did not have a chance to tell him this in life but I can promise to do my part to keep his spirit alive. There is always room in the world for good humour, optimism and patience. You are all in my thoughts right now and I can only offer my deepest condolences. Even though these days will be tough, I try to find solace in the idea that we'll all be together again one day. For my part I'll do my best to have a good story or two for him when that day comes, it's what he would want.
All my love, always.
We're so very sorry for your loss Michelle and family. May your many happy memories of Dwayne give you peace and comfort. Our condolences, Lyle and Susan Gagne
I have known Dwayne since junior high school, and also had the pleasure of working with him in the oil and gas industry. In all that time I cannot recall a time when he lost his temper. He had such a calm thoughtful approach to life, which inspired and motivated others around him. He will be missed.
Dwayne was a person of exceptional human quality. Always cheerful and positive, he had a unique ability to inspire the Madalena team with his enthusiasm and relentless drive to move forward. His energy was truly inspiring—a force that united and motivated everyone fortunate enough to know him.
In his last message, after a long time without speaking with him, he conveyed a profound sense of peace—a serenity that only those who truly understand the essence of life possess. He was happy, fulfilled, and that is how I will always remember him.
Dwayne passed, taking with him a part of those who had the pleasure of sharing dreams.
Dwayne always uphold the value of one’s word—whether in a purely technical discussion or during a deal, regardless of the stakes or personal gain. He was generous, sharp, retentive, keen wit and with bulletproof sense of humor.
Having lived in numerous countries, in addition to his beloved Canada, he always held a special place in his heart for Argentina. He founded companies and held leadership roles in operators like Antrim, and during the early years of Madalena. Through these roles, he drove the development of Vaca Muerta, recognizing its value long before most.
His last endeavor was NRG. My deepest gratitude for his trust from the very beginning and for continuing to support it until the very end, despite the obstacles and underhanded attacks that arose once the project began to take shape.
His passing was premature, though it would have felt the same even ten years later. But in these 68, Dwayne achieved so much, building a wonderful family and lifelong friendships, that death found him fulfilled, with no unfinished business. He faced it with the composure and wisdom that only the truly great possess. Thank you Dwayne ! We will miss you !
We deeply regret the passing of Dwayne Warkentin, founding shareholder of NRG and fundamental pillar of the company since its beginnings.
Dwayne was a guide and source of inspiration for all of us, generously offering all his experience in the industry for the growth of the organization.
We accompany his family and loved ones in this difficult time.
NRG Argentina S.A.
