It is with heavy hearts that the family of John Lorne Regehr announce his passing. Dad was born at the Linden Nursing Home on November 29, 1943. He was the fourth child of David and Frances Regehr.
A quick glance at the Acme Café and an introduction a few weeks later by dad’s sister, Carrie, started what would be a romance that will last forever.
John is survived by his soulmate of 56 years, Gwen – daughter Kim, her husband Mike and their two daughters Emilee and Hannah – daughter Melanie and her 2 sons Korbin and Jared & daughter Shelley, her husband Brian and their daughter Katelyn.
Dad’s greatest joy was hid children and grandchildren. John always had a strong passion for the western lifestyle, rodeo, and his beloved Calgary Flames. His roots ran deep in the agricultural community, a passion that has been passed on down throughout his children and granddaughters.
Dad was predeceased by his parents, David and Frances – sisters Caroline, Patricia and Helen – brother Bobby – Parents-in-law Elgin and Eleanore Huntley – sister-in-law Anita Berreth and niece Shannon Berreth.
A service celebrating John’s life will take place in the summer of 2022 at Swalwell, AB.
Memorial donations may be made to STARS or Sundre Palliative Care Association.
