JASPERSON, Clifford

JASPERSON Clifford Kenneth Jasperson, age 91, of Cardston, Alberta, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025. He was born on February 27, 1934, to Andrew and Marie Jasperson. Cliff was the second youngest of five children and was raised on a ranch near Woolford, Alberta. With his family, he helped establish Jasperson Farming Ltd., raising Hereford and Angus cattle and growing alfalfa, barley, and hay. They grew the ranch to nearly 4,000 acres and supported up to 500 head of cattle at their peak. After the family sold the Woolford ranch, Cliff continued ranching independently near Leavitt, Alberta, until selling the farm upon retirement.
In addition to ranching, Cliff worked as a heavy-duty equipment operator at the St. Mary’s Dam for 25 years, retiring in 1995. He later ran his own handyman business for more than a decade and was a self-taught, highly skilled carpenter and worked on many properties in southern Alberta.
Cliff was the most devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, known for his incredible work ethic, generosity, and willingness to help others. He had a great sense of humour, earning him many friends, and could be counted on to deliver legendary one-liners. In his later years, despite challenges with severe short-term memory loss and dementia, he remained witty, positive and was affectionately known as “Mr. Charming” at the Lethbridge Seniors Lodge where he resided for the past 9 months.
Cliff is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Connie Jasperson; children Cliff (Sandra) Jasperson, Rachelle (Walter) Foley, Stacey (George) McDonald, Jodi (Robin) Bratz, and Heidi (Kimball) Lacey; 10 grandchildren; and 5 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to your local food bank, in Cliff’s spirit of generosity.
