Fredrick “Nick” Norman Agnew

September 13, 1946 — May 28, 2018

September 13, 1946 – May 28, 2018

Loved as Kim’s husband and friend, adored father to Jessie (Bernie) Agnew Restauro, Laura (Mike) Johansen, Michael (Laura Ann) Agnew, and much-loved papa to Maya, Liv, Ellie and Mateo.  Nick passed away peacefully in Bragg Creek on Monday, May 28, 2018.  Born in Calgary and a lifelong resident of Bragg Creek, Nick was the eldest son of Fred and Doris Agnew.  He will be held dear by his sister Susan (Paul) Kartzke, sisters and brothers-in-laws, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Nick was a cornerstone of his family through joyous and difficult times.  Unconditional love and strength paved the way to create a strong, beautiful loving family that worked and played together.  Nick was a multifaceted man who enjoyed many disciplines, one of his favorite was fly-fishing, and for nearly a decade he was a regular on the Bow River.  His tenacity, passion, optimism and fierce independence are hallmarks of his character, even when facing the challenges of living with MS and cancer.

The family wish to extend sincere appreciation for the wonderful care provided by Dr. Nikki Schiebel and Con Schiebel, Dr. Annalise Noordman, Liz Ann Jonassen, Dr. Scott Jarvis and Pure North Synergy. Aaron Caldwell, an inspiring fly fishing guide and ‘second son’ was instrumental in enabling Nick to fish the Bow River.  Countless friends provided years of support and laughter.

Nick leaves us with these words, “I am at peace with my life and look forward to the next adventure.  Remember to love and always have fun.”

Please join us on Saturday, June 23, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm for a Celebration of Nick’s life at the Bragg Creek Community Center, 23 White Avenue, Bragg Creek.  Tributes start at 1:30.
