December 7, 1954 – July 11, 2019
On July 11
th
, 2019, after a long journey with cancer, Reg Klics passed from this life, to eternity in the loving arms of his Savior Jesus Christ. He was at peace and comforted by the love of his family; secure in his Christian faith.
He
leaves behind a family who love and miss him dearly. Reg was a loving husband
to his wife Betty, throughout 43 wonderful years of marriage. He was a devoted
father to his two sons, Steve (his wife Annick), and Rob. His most cherished
title was grandfather to Raynor, Cortana, and Ethan. He is deeply cherished and
missed by his mother Shirley, sister Terralin, brother-in-law Myron and niece
Deanna. He was predeceased by his father Simon.
He
will be greatly missed by many more family members and friends, all of whom
treasure the time they had with him, and the memories they will keep forever.
Born
and raised in Taber, Alberta, Reg spent a happy childhood hunting gophers,
learning guitar, rocking out, and making reasonable amounts of mischief.
With
his Computer Science degree from the U of A, Reg spent most of his working life
in technology at Chevron Canada Resources, where he filled many roles and
traveled far over an impressive 36 year career.
Reg
had a love for (good) music, the outdoors, and time spent with his loved ones
(especially his grandchildren!). Together, we enjoyed many camping trips,
concerts, vacations in places near and far, and time spent puttering around the
back yard.
He
had a calming presence, and was always ready with a joke or comment to lighten
the mood. He loved cats, never used 5 words when 4 would work, and would rather
fix it himself than buy a new one.
Reg
had a deep Christian faith, and was passionate about his work on church
projects involving outreach and missions in Calgary (and supporting missions
around the world).
His
memory with be cherished, and we will always treasure the love he shared with
all of us. We look forward to the day where we will see him again, in paradise.
