GETZ
Posted: February 3rd, 2016Victor Getz, beloved husband of 35 years to Karen (McQueen) and father to Jennifer and Jessica passed away January 31 after a short illness. He is also survived by his mother Annie Getz and sisters Marianne Oerlemans (Darren and niece Darilyn) and Sharlene. Victor was predeceased by his father Tony Getz. Victor lived life to the fullest and was most at home on his farm outside of Brooks. He loved the rodeo and especially enjoyed watching his girls barrel racing. A real family man who was loved by Karen’s family Gordon and Joyce (mom and dad) and sisters Pat (Jorge), Devora (Mick), Kay (Rory) and brother Ian (Janis). A great uncle to James, Michael, Ryan, Gord, Jill and Michelle and their families. Victor loved people and always had fun at gatherings whether it was with the rodeo crew, at sporting events, friends and neighbours, or at family functions. He leaves a big void and will be truly missed by all who knew him. A “Come and Go Social” will take place at the Silver Sage Community Corral on Silver Sage Road in Brooks, AB on Friday February 5th from 2-5pm. In lieu of flowers please donate to Small Spurs Rodeo Association, Box 1563, Nanton, AB T0L 1R0
I have wonderful memories of Victor from our teenage years hanging out with our our close group of friends. Playing pickup hockey and ball and lots of card games. As everyone knows he was a tremendous athlete especially a talented catcher and hitter in fastball. He was a good friend and did very well in all aspects of life. He will be missed. My condolences to Karen, Victor’s mother and daughters, Marianne, Sharlene, and all other family and friends. Denis Hoffman
So sorry to hear about Victor’s passing. My condolences go out to all members of his family. I had Victor in grade six at Elm St. School and he was a great athelete and person then.
