Obituary - Frank Meyer
Frank Meyer
1935 - 2020
Frank Meyer, beloved husband of Mary Meyer, passed away at the Riverview Care Centre in Medicine Hat on Saturday, April 11, 2020, at the age of 85 years. Along with Mary, his devoted wife of 63 years, Frank leaves to cherish his memory his sons, Kelly (Cindy Anton), Kevin (Tammy) both of Medicine Hat and Kerry (Darlene) of Redcliff; ten grandchildren: Kelly Ryan (Jodi), Nevada (Bill), Taylor (Chase), Devon (Nathan), Jimmy (Mary), Frank, Bryce (Holly), Brianne, Ashley (Derek), Milo (Tatum); 16 great-grandchildren; brother, Ken Meyer; sisters, Marie and Eleanor as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Frank was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Rose; his cherished daughter, Kimberly; brother, Jake and sister, Irene. Frank was born on January 7, 1935, in Fox Valley, Saskatchewan. He married Mary Miller on November 23, 1957. They lived in Medicine Hat and farmed in Fox Valley while he also worked in the Oil Industry. In 1974, they settled in Orion, AB., where they purchased a farm-ranch operation. In 1994, they returned to Medicine Hat to retire. Frank loved baseball but auction sales were his passion. His famous words to Mary were; “I couldn’t pass it up.” Frank will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him. A special thank you to Dr. Hirsch, Helen, Lisa and all of the staff at Riverview for the care and compassion they gave to Frank. It was greatly appreciated. A private family celebration will be held at a later date.

Will miss your visits to see him, and the kindness you showed toward my own Mom, Frieda at RCC. However prepared we think we are, never truly ready to let go.

Mary and families, We extend our deepest sympathy to all of you at your sad time. FRANK, a husband, father, grandpa and a dear friend to all. FRANK loved his auction sales along with his family. FRANK always had a smile on his face with a twinkle in his eyes. He was a very hard worker and always provided for his family as well as the whole neighborhood offering a helping hand when needed. I remember visiting in Fox Valley, Orion and Medicine Hat-great company and lots of laughs. Rest in Peace FRANK your work on earth is now complete. May his memories live in all your hearts forever and let GOD give you the strength and courage to carry on as he is watching from above. Prayers Jim and Merle Derzaph
