The children of veteran Regina sports broadcaster Warren Woods are deeply saddened to announce that “Woodsy” passed away at 3:25 p.m. on January 20, 2021 at the age of 66, due to complications from COVID-19. His two children Nicole and Chris were by his side.

They wish to express their immense gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and specialists on the Medical Intensive Care Unit and Unit 3E at Regina General Hospital for all their attention and care. Nicole and Chris are also grateful for the outpouring of support Warren has received from across the country over the last seven weeks. It’s comforting for them to know how many people cared about their dad.

Nicole and Chris are asking for privacy during this very difficult time, and politely decline all media requests. Details about a celebration of Woodsy’s life will come at a later date, after COVID-19 public gathering restrictions are lifted.
