It is with heavy hearts that we, the family of Lloyd Gerald Heller, announce his passing on Monday November 13, 2017 at the age of 72 years. Lloyd is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years Paulette; his two children Mathew (Marie-Louise), Stephanie (David) Green and grandson Sloan; extended family Elizabeth Hargrave, and Papa to Hudson, Alec, Savannah and Isabelle; his brother Wayne (Kathy), nieces Anne (Lance), Rosalyn (Eric) and great nephew Ericson, aunt Erna (✝ Ben) Schorr. He was predeceased by his loving parents, Elsie and Bill, his in-laws, Paul and Olga Pudwell and extended family Alicia and James Hargrave.
Lloyd was born March 6, 1945 in Medicine Hat. He grew up on the family ranch in the Many Island Lakes Area. He graduated from Medicine Hat High School and went on to further his education at the University of Edmonton and Olds College. Once Lloyd finished college, he started working on the family ranch alongside his father Bill and a few years later, his brother Wayne.
Dad loved the ranch and was very protective of the land and his cattle. His quiet time was when he would drive through the fields checking this cattle with his four legged partner Sophie by his side
Dad loved sports excelling in curling, golf and baseball. Dad’s competitive curling started in High School where he teamed up with his brother in law Doug Pudwell, Don Bruins and Sandy Patience. Curling took him all around the country but two of his highlights were participating in the Canadian Masters in Nova Scotia and curling with his son Mathew. He was a kind and thoughtful man who was always there to lend a helping hand and make sure his family’s dreams came true.
