1964 ~ STACEY McLEOD ~ 2019
Posted: April 5th, 2019It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Stacey Edward McLeod, age 55 years, with his loving wife, Sandy by his side, on Monday, April 1st, 2019 after a brief but valiant fight with cancer. Anyone who knew Stacey knows he had two loves, his family and his pipes: wife, Sandy McLeod; five children, Logan (Cara) McLeod, Rochelle (Ben) Jones, Courtney Rudichuk, Cassandra Swiegers (Corey Davidson) and Stacey McLeod; his mother, Dorothy Page; seven grandchildren, Dante, Cayden, Whitney, Charleigh, Corbin, Ryker, and Rixten; and his loving sidekick, Deuce. Stacey was predeceased by his father, Grant McLeod; and his two brothers, Bob Mcleod and Reg Mcleod. Stacey moved his family to Bassano in 1997 where they got to enjoy the country life he had enjoyed as a child in Saskatchewan. Here he had the great pleasure of raising three beautiful daughters and two grandsons while building his career in the oilfield. As work dried up, he had to travel farther for work but still managed to make family his priority. Unfortunately, much to his regret, Stacey missed out on much of the life of his children from his first marriage, but they were always in his heart. There wasn’t much time for play between work and family, but Stacey always enjoyed time fishing on the Shuswap. Each winter him and Sandy would sneak away to a beach for Stacey to enjoy his other pleasure—scuba diving. Stacey had a lifelong love of pipes. He started his career as an insulator. When he conquered this challenge, he moved onto pipefitting and continuing the climb to consultant where he spent many years working all over the province. He was greatly respected in his field and met many good friends along the way. Stacey proudly ended his career as a Facility and Pipeline Inspector for Inception Exploration Ltd. A private time of remembrance will be held. Memorial gifts in Stacey’s memory may be made to your local S.P.C.A or to the Canadian Cancer Society, 325 Manning Road NE, Calgary, AB T2E 2P5.
