LARRY HEEG

September 19, 1958 – April 18, 2018

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving husband and father, Larry James Heeg. Larry was born to Edward and Ida Heeg in Empress Alberta on September 19 1958, and passed away peacefully, with his family by his side on April 18, 2018. Larry leaves to mourn his memory, his loving wife of 27 years Rita; two sons Scott (Stevie Cox), Steven (Jenifer Breum); mom Ida; three brothers Ken, Howard (Linda), Tim (April); mother-in-law Linda Stickelmier; sister-in-law Sandra (Bill) Won; brother-in-law Glen (Lori) Stickelmier; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Edward; father-in-law Henry Stickelmier; and two brothers-in-law Barry and Carmen Stickelmier. Larry’s life was devoted to his family, the farm, and his Lord and Saviour. He loved life on the farm, particularly operating it with his two sons and his brother Tim. His two other loves, being a very close second to life on the farm, would be his recent interest and appreciation for his John Deere 2 cylinder tractors, and the Edmonton Oilers. Hockey was a big part of his life, from his younger days playing with the Oyen clippers and the Acadia Valley Dead Wings, then onto cheering loudly for the Edmonton Oilers. Larry also enjoyed singing with the Acadia Valley community choir and then with Paul Evans, Phil Marleau, and Tim Heeg, they called themselves the 41-4. A funeral service will be held Monday, April 23 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Acadia Valley, Alberta. Funeral arrangements in care of MacLean’s Funeral Home, Oyen, Alberta.
