It is with our deepest sympathies to announce the passing of Evald Georg (George) Nielsen on November 22, 2022. He was surrounded by family during his last days, which were peaceful and quiet.
Born in Denmark in 1948, George left the family farm at a young age with only 350 kroner to pursue his baking apprenticeship. He immigrated to Vernon, BC in 1975 with his then spouse Jytte Nielsen, where their children were born. He moved his family to Black Diamond, AB in 1985, where he bought the Black Diamond Bakery which he successfully ran for over 32 years. He retired in 2017, and spent most of his time with family, on the Turner Valley golf course and at his property on Okanagan Lake. He leaves behind a legacy of community involvement and entrepreneurship.
He is survived by his wife Patricia Nielsen, his daughter Tina (Eldon) Baker, his son Glenn (Sheena) Nielsen, his four grandchildren Kimberley, Logan, Isla and Kasie. He is predeceased by his parents, his brother Pedar and sister Jenny. He is survived by numerous siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins in Denmark and the United States.
He will be fondly remembered by friends and family for his sense of humor, laugh, kindness, generosity, work ethic, bakery treats, and Danish rye bread. He will be missed dearly by all those who knew and loved him.
The family would like to thank all the staff at the Rocky View General Hospital for their care, comfort and compassion. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to a food bank of your choice as he loved to provide carbs to the community.
