Gilbert Kroetsch Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our brother and uncle, Gilbert Edward Kroetsch on January 15, 2025 in Daysland at the age of 80 years. Left to mourn his passing is his sister Sharon (Noel) Smith, niece Jodi (Clayton) Gurr, great-nephews Colten (Kylee) Gurr, Kyle Gurr and Gib’s special companion Lois Lang.
Gilbert was born February 11, 1944 to Edward and Nora Kroetsch and farmed in the Heisler area for 69 years. He then retired to town and in 2021 moved into Big Knife Villa in Forestburg. The staff and residents soon became his “new family”. This was where he met Lois and they enjoyed many happy times together.
Gib was a very kind, considerate, generous and honest man. He had a great sense of humor bringing many laughs to us all over the years from his jokes to one-liners to whoopee-cushions – anything for a laugh.
We would like to thank Dr. Huang, the staff at the Daysland Hospital, everyone at Big Knife Villa and Lois for being such a faithful companion throughout his health struggles.
Cremation has taken place. As per Gilbert’s request there will be no funeral. A private graveside service will take place in the spring. Memorial donations may be to the charity of one’s choice.
And some famous last words that Gib often said: “Here’s looking up your old… address!”
We will miss you Gilbert.
