Mr. Wilfred John Allen ‘Wilf’ Kellar passed away unexpectedly at Innisfail, Alberta on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at the age of 72 years.
Wilf was born on November 9, 1947 at Calgary, Alberta and was adopted by loving parents, John and Eileen Kellar, soon after. He grew up on the farm near Wimbourne, and enjoyed the outdoors, farm life, and riding horses. Wilf married Cheryl Hadley in 1973, and they had three beautiful sons, Kyron, Valane, and Layvon. Wilf worked in the Oilfield and other physical jobs, throughout his adult life; living in west Central Alberta for the most part.
