DERIK RICHARDSON

1961 ~ 2018

Derik Greg Richardson passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Monday, November 19, 2018, at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital. Derik is survived by his loving wife of almost 26 years, Jan (Cooke) and daughters, Ailish, Mackenzie and Abigail and the family Schnauzer, “Max”; his mother, Jacqueline; sister-in-law, Ann and her daughters, Jayme and Jodi and their families; son-in-law, Laurie Thomson and his children Callie, Rory and Hailey and their families; sister, Loni (Jimmy) O’Hearne and their children, Cezanne, Christina and Tayler; mother-in-law, Pat Cooke; sister-in-law, Patti (Gord) Forbes and their children, Casey, Kyle and Hilary (Blanchette) and their families; brother-in-law, Darren (Brenda) Cooke and their children, Christopher and Angela. Derik was predeceased by his father Murray; brother, Terrence; sister, Tracy Thomson and father-in-law, Bruce Cooke. Derik was born in Bow Island on July 13, 1961, moving to Medicine Hat before starting school. He attended CHHS and played various sports as a young man, including hockey, baseball, and football. He also played for both the Medicine Hat Cubs and the MHC Rattler hockey teams. He was also a member of the Gallery Lounge Beavers. Derik moved to Calgary briefly as a young man to apprentice as an electrician, but returned to Medicine Hat and worked for Purolator Courier for 32 years. ‘Richie’ was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing and camping. When Derik and Jan started their family, his focus became running after their three girls to all their sporting events. They became part of many sport families including CHHS Volleyball/Basketball and Rangers Basketball. There was nothing he loved more than watching his girls kick butt and keeping the officials in line. While Derik endured many serious health issues over the years, he was always a true “Warrior” in his battles. He was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (Oct 2017), which he hoped to beat via a lung transplant. Even though he lost both his father and sister to IPF, he took his diagnosis as a true challenge that he met head on. Derik was then diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer on November 12, which due to his lung condition, left no treatment options. He spent the next week enjoying visits from his family and close friends, retaining his sense of humour throughout. The family would like to thank Dr. Charlene Fell of South Health Campus (Calgary), Dr. Osborne, Dr. Monty, Dr. Grobler and Dr. Foley of Medicine Hat. We would especially like to thank the excellent nursing staff on 5 East of the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital for the compassionate care they gave Derik and our entire family. A Celebration of Derik’s Life will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Saturday, November 24, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. with Dr. Shane Andrus officiating. Everyone is encouraged to dress in a casual manner… and yes, jeans are acceptable! Private columbarium placement will follow at Hillside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alberta Lung Association “Breathing Room” in Edmonton, which assist families in being with their loved ones during transplant (www.ab.lung.ca/get-involved/donate) or the Canadian Cancer Society, 200, 325 Manning Road N.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2E 2P5.

1946-2018
It is with saddened hearts we the family of Patricia announce her passing in Vancouver on November 1, 2018.

She lived a full happy life and had a deep love of God, her faith getting her through many times. Her sense of humour was contagious and she was an inspiration to all those she touched along the way.
Her wishes were to be brought back home to be laid to rest with her parents, Jack and Eleanor Scott, those wishes to be carried out with a private interment to follow at a later date at Hillside Cemetery.
Par is survived by her siblings, Peggy (Owen) Steele, Jacqueline Hehr, Bill (Michelle) Scott, Ian Scott. She was predeceased by her grandparents and parents

STUBER

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Warren Dale Stuber on Friday, November 16, 2018, at the age of 59 years, beloved husband of Wanda Stuber of Medicine Hat. He also leaves to cherish his memory two daughters, Brandi Stuber (Max Verbeurgt) and Breann Stuber (Mark Scerri); his parents Verna and Bill Stuber, his father-in-law Johnne Singh, one brother Wayne (Kathy) Stuber and their children Jennifer, Brant (Candace) (their children, Caden and Liam). Along with Wanda’s siblings and their families. He was predeceased by his mother-in-law Catherine Singh. Being out on the farm was one of Warren’s favourite places, it is where he grew up, and where he raised his two girls with his wife and best friend Wanda. More than anything he loved his family, taking care of his girls whom he was extremely proud of, and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first grandson. Warren had a warmth and kindness that attracted many friendships into his life. He had a compassionate heart, and was a natural leader taking many under his wing. Warren worked at the Line Shop for 36 years before his retirement. He enjoyed farming alongside his brother and nephew, and held a special place for teaching his nephew and great-nephews new things out at the farm. He always made time for his friends, whether it was going for coffee with fellow retirees, chatting with the neighbour over the fence, or lending a helping hand. He loved animals, especially spending time with his buddy Rocco and grand-pup Gizmo. Warren enjoyed spending his time fishing and camping in the mountains, sharing pranks and laughs with family and good friends. He was always up for a road trip, a concert, or a game of Canasta. His memory will live on in the hearts of all that knew him. As per Warren’s wishes no funeral service will be held.
