1971 ~ BLAIR COLIN STROH ~ 2017

With great sadness and broken hearts, we announce the passing of Blair Colin Stroh, loving father to Abbi, Jake and Nate – his three greatest accomplishments, and the love of his life, his “beautiful bride” Brandi. He is also survived by his loving parents, Lenard and Beverley Stroh, his sisters, Sheila Stroh, Karla (Gary) Mattson and their children Gage, Logan and Robyn. Also survived by Brandi’s family, Lorraine (Richard) Roth and extended family, Darwin (Cathy) Vellacott and extended family, Tracey (Kevin) Fischer and their boys Connor and Kyle, his grandmothers Esdela Herman, Lillian Vellacott and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended rodeo family and many friends. He was active in the rodeo community for many years…from the time he could rope his chickens. He thoroughly enjoyed roping with his many friends and spending time with his rodeo family. He always wore a big smile and had even a bigger heart. He was Abbi’s biggest cheerleader for her many activities, including sports and barrel racing. He was extremely proud of his two little Cowboys and their love for team roping and football. He touched many hearts, young and old and will be missed dearly by all who knew him. “We love you daddy around the world and back again!” As Blair would often say,” I’ve enjoyed the time we spent together”… A life taken too soon!! Ride free cowboy! We love you!!
