Cal Dyck

October 2, 1948 ~ February 20, 2022

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Calvin Dyck announce his passing in Calgary, AB on Sunday, February 20, 2022, at the age of 73 years, with his daughters by his side. He is survived by his daughters, Carla (Shaun) Kolody and Jacquie Mirtle; step-children, Casey (Cassie) Lalonde, Chantelle (Simon) Fickinger, Shaun (Jen) Lalonde and Shane (Lina) Lalonde as well as his grandchildren, Alexis, Lauren, Evan, Makenna, Shelby, Dante, Gabriel and Baby Lucy. Also mourning Cal’s passing are many close friends and family, especially Gwen Ibach. He was predeceased by his wife, Bonnie; son, Daniel; parents, John and Doris and ex-spouse, Elaine. Calvin was born in Calgary and raised in Medicine Hat. After graduating from Medicine Hat High School, he moved to Edmonton to become a geologist. It was there that he met Elaine and they were married in 1967. Together they raised three children: Jacquie, Carla and Dan. They called Calgary home for the next three decades as Cal worked in the oil and gas industry. He then moved back to Medicine Hat and worked for IXL and the City of Medicine Hat, retiring in 2015. Cal was active on the alumni committee for Medicine Hat High School and it was at the 2001 reunion that he met his soulmate, Bonnie Lalonde. They were married in 2003, blending two families who were stronger together than they were apart. Cal enjoyed golfing and curling but his favourite past time was packing up the motorhome (with or without his grandchildren) and hitting the road. Cal’s family will remember him sitting around a campfire, beverage in hand, and telling ghost stories with the ones he loved. A Celebration of Cal’s life will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Friday, March 4, at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery with a reception to follow thereafter in the Cook Southland Reception Facility. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting www.cooksouthland.com) Honoured to serve the family is Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, Crematorium & Reception Facility, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 4V4.
