VICTOR LEE VAN ENK

VICTOR LEE VAN ENK Mr. Victor Lee Van Enk was born on November 29, 1950, in Valley City, North Dakota and passed at the age of 74 on June 3rd, 2025, in Calgary, Alberta. Most knew Victor simply as ‘Vic’ or ‘Mr. V’. Victor was a rare and special man who left an indelible impression on everyone he met. He was gifted with a gregarious personality that drew people to him. Vic was a dedicated public-school teacher who taught most of his career at I.F. Cox Elementary School in Redcliff, Alberta.
Vic fought a long battle with pancreatic cancer with grace and courage. His strength provided his family with three precious years of wonderful memories which we will forever be grateful for. His family would like to thank all the medical professionals who assisted his fight at the High River & Foothills hospitals as well as numerous family, friends and neighbours who have provided tremendous support and comfort.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Vic’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society. Plans for a celebration of life will be communicated soon.
