We announce the passing of Jorgen Ansholm Rasmussen on January 13, 2023. He died peacefully at the age of 85 years old.
Jorgen was born in Nørre Nebel, Denmark in 1937, and met and married his wife Hanne in 1962. He was one of the first importers of Jonsered chainsaws into Denmark, and ran a very successful company for many years.
In 1980, Jorgen, Hanne, and their four children immigrated to Canada and settled into the Okotoks area. Jorgen produced and sold “Danish Kisses,” a sweet meringue treat, before starting a tortilla chip manufacturing company, Del Comal, which was a robust family business that operated in Okotoks and Claresholm for 25 years.
Jorgen was predeceased by his sister Grete Rasmussen.
Jorgen is survived by wife of over 60 years, Hanne, his four children Ulla (Kevin), Kirsten, Soren (Susan), and Bente (Jason), as well as ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He is also survived by his younger brother, Knud (Gitte) in Denmark.
In keeping with Jorgen’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. The family will hold a private memorial.
Thank you to the staff at Tudor Manor for their care of Jorgen over the last year.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Hotchkiss Brain Institute for Movement Disorders.
Arrangements are in care of Snodgrass Funeral Home Okotoks (403) 938-3111.
