1954 – BRIAN KRASSMAN – 2021

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Brian Joseph Krassman on May 23, 2021. Brian passed away at the age of 67, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Cynthia Krassman, whom he was married to for 43 years. He is lovingly remembered by his son, Damon Krassman; his daughter, Kyla (Seth) Buehler; and his grandchildren, Aubri Krassman, Carter Krassman, Kaiden Buehler, and Jase Buehler; sister, Bev Crawford and Loreta (Norman) Glass; as well as numerous nephews. Brian was predeceased by his father, Joseph Krassman and his mother, Betty Krassman. Brian was a kind, empathetic, hard working family man who would do anything for anyone. He began his career working with CP Rail but left that position when his children were young as he wanted more time at home to focus on his family. Brian then started a courier company which he grew into a very successful career that he worked at until he retired in 2019. Brian and Cynthia spent a lot of their time travelling, especially to Hawaii which was their second home. Brian loved to golf and spent much time on the course with his best friend of decades, Gary Heller. Brian was a helper, an encourager, and was the backbone of his small, tight knit family. Brian’s most rewarding accomplishment was being a father: He prided himself on being there for his children through every up and down and taught them the importance of family and enjoying every moment together. Brian's grandchildren were his pride and joy and his closeness to each of them was a result of the time he spent with them all. Brian's sense of humor was unmatched: his witty, quick responses could make anyone laugh, even in the toughest of situations. Brian’s legacy will live on through those who were lucky enough to know and love him. A celebration of Brian's life will be announced when gathering restrictions are lifted. Donations greatly appreciated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 200, 119 – 14th Street NW, Calgary, AB T1A 7L5 Condolences may be sent through http://www.saamis.com or to condolences@saamis.com subject heading Brian Krassman.

JOSEPH STADNYK

July 15, 1935 ~ May 18, 2021

It is with full, but sadden hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, brother, uncle and friend, Joseph Henry Stadnyk. Joe passed away suddenly, but peacefully with his loving wife of 32 years, Lorna by his side. He will always be lovingly remembered by his adoring wife, Lorna and their close, blended family including children, Eugene (Patty), Dennis, Laurie (Ian), Todd, Steven (Linda), Joseph, Lane, Mark (Val), Monica; 17 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren as well as his siblings, Paul, Anna, Edna and Gladys including his extended family and friends. Joe was predeceased by his parents, Nick and Dorothy Stadnyk; siblings, Kay, Mary, Josie and Leonard. Joe will be deeply missed by all that knew him. He had the kindest eyes and the brightest smile that was always the biggest when his children and grandchildren were together. It was usually around the table, sitting outside on the deck, in the driveway and quite possibly while eating a balogna sandwich where he would share his stories of growing up on the family farm and all of the jobs that he endured together with the memories that he made along the way. Joe’s life took him many places including, Sifton, MB., Dauphin, Gilbert Plains, St. Martin, Redcliff, AB., Medicine Hat and Red Deer. Whether it was Joe going to school while helping harvest on the family farm growing up, starting a career as a butcher (which he would continue to do for many years in many different places) or being a lumberjack, a job he did with his brother that had them travel throughout Canada from Alberta to Ontario. Joe owned a Texaco gas station, worked in a Denturist office with Lane and finally woodworking which became his hobby and passion. Needless to say he was a hardworking man who was extremely talented when it came to working with his hands. Joe and Lorna spent the majority of their married life in Red Deer where they made many everlasting friendships. Throughout those years, many memories including adventures on various bus tours, cruises and trips to Nashville, Hawaii, Alaska and San Diego to name a few were taken. They would also spend a weekend a month at a craft show called, “Santa's Helper” where Joe would display and sell his detailed hand crafted woodworking projects of birdhouses, yard ornaments, board games, baby cribs, benches and furniture. Many of these projects he has since passed down to his family which they will treasure for generations and years to come. We will miss you Joe and although our hearts are sad, we take great comfort in knowing that you are now at peace and Heaven has gained an angel that will be watching over us all. A celebration of Joe's life will take place in Gilbert Plains, MB., at a later date when it is safe to do so. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at http://www.cooksouthland.com) Honoured to serve the family is

McLEOD

The family of Brian McLeod is sad to announce his passing on May 26 at Rockyview Hospital in Calgary at the age of 57. He was deeply loved and will be forever remembered by his daughter Madi (Dean), mom Shirley, sisters Vicki (Mike) Steiner and Kari (Darcy) Weimer, nieces & nephews Mark (Lindsay) Steiner, Leah Steiner, Aaron (Kaleigh) Weimer & Jordan (Danica) Weimer, partner Kara Mock and his ‘bonus’ children Don (Mackenzie) Mock & Katie (Spencer) Mock. He was predeceased by his dad, Bob, and Madi’s mom, Dale. Brian was born in Swift Current, raised in Medicine Hat, a graduate of MHHS, and spent his adult life in Calgary. He was a kind & generous guy. His quick wit & sharp sense of humour made him a fantastic salesman of everything from stereos to laser-imaging machines and he couldn’t be beat in a game of Monopoly. We all have great memories of times spent golfing, skiing, fishing and summers at the lake. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to The Dream Centre in Calgary at http://www.calgarydreamcentre.com/donate. A private interment will take place at a later date.
