It is with deepest sadness that we announce our Dad's passing on November 05, 2022 at the age of 93 years. Dad was predeceased by our mom, Estelle, in 2014. He leaves to cherish his memory his daughters, Linda (Barrey) Stuber, Debbie (Philip) Gazdag, Dar Wegner, and son, Allan Mutschler. He is also lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Trevor (Desirae), Travis (Laura), Kim, Neil (Jaclyn), Jody (Bill), Stacy (Jen), Curtis (Amanda), Kaylie, as well as 12 great grandchildren. Dad is survived by his sisters, Eileen, Gladys, and Joan, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Lloyd.
Dad was born in Fox Valley, SK, and it was there he met Estelle Hepper, whom he married in 1952. They farmed there until moving to Medicine Hat in 1956. Dad was employed by North West Nitro Chemicals for ten years where he became a 3rd Class Steam Engineer. In 1966, Dad, Mom and four kids moved to the Manyberries area where they farmed and ranched until 1991. He was a co-owner and played an integral part in the creation and operation of Lost River Construction Ltd. Dad and Mom semi-retired to an acreage, then moved into Medicine Hat. After Mom's passing, Dad lived independently in a senior’s residence.
During his youth, Dad was an avid baseball player and his love of the game continued as he played senior slow pitch into his eighties. Curling was also a favourite pastime of his, and Mom's. Dad was also a leader of our 4-H Beef Club for eleven years. Our steers were chosen from our own herd and he was very proud when several went on to become champions. Dad also served on the Board of Directors for Pinhorn Grazing Association for twenty-five years.
Dad and Mom belonged to the Orion Community Association and spent many hours preparing for the dine and dances that they enjoyed so much. They loved to dance and we are so thankful that Dad was still dancing at ninety-three. He will be forever missed and lovingly remembered. There will be a private memorial service held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to condolences@saamis.com subject heading Melvin Mutschler.
