Wilfred Stuber

December 20, 1940 ~ April 7, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wilfred Stuber. He passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 7, 2024, at the age of 83 years. Wilf was born on December 20, 1940, in the house he lived almost his whole life in at Bullshead Butte, Alberta. He was the middle child of three born to Andrew and Elisa Stuber. Wilf grew up a farmer and later took over the family farm. He worked side by side for many years with his dad. Wilf was a caring neighbor, always ready to give a helping hand when others were in need. He was a man of his word – if he said he was going to do something – you knew it would be done. Wilf loved to take care of the livestock and the wild animals that made the prairies home. In the springtime, he would go out and start to build a nest for the returning geese to his area. Wilf was an excellent gardener, sometimes he would even have two gardens on the go. One of his favorite things to grow were sunflowers. When the sunflowers bloomed, he would go out and watch the sunflowers opening to the morning sun. They always reminded him of a happy face. Wilf even named one of his grand nieces (Ashley) “Sunflower” as she reminded him of a happy sunflower. Wilf resided in Medicine Hat after making the difficult decision to move off the farm in 2012. He had 83 years of a very good life – he lived life as he chose. The Prairies and Farming was his way of Life. Wilf is survived by his two sisters, Shirley (Leonard) of Brooks, AB., and Jean Jetter of Lethbridge, AB., as well as many nieces, nephews and a special friend he visited regularly to share stories and have a laugh with, Alisha Becker. Wilf was predeceased by his parents, Andrew and Elisa Stuber as well as his brother-in-law John Jetter. To honour Wilf’s wishes, a small and private graveside service will take place at Saamis Prairie View Cemetery.
