It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Friedrich “Fred” Stolte of West Kelowna, BC, at the age of 83 years. Fred passed peacefully in his sleep in the presence of Jesus.
He was born in Roermond in the Netherlands and came to Canada (Alberta) as a child. After many years of working at the Lethbrew in Calgary and EDMbrew, he retired to the Okanagan in 2003 with his partner, Lori.
Fred leaves behind his life partner, Lori; children, Myron (Shannon), Mark (Sandra), and Jason (Tabitha), all of Lethbridge, AB; as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents and his oldest son, Michael.
His family wishes to extend a grateful thank you to the Staff at Village at Smith Creek and to Dr. G. Verster.
If you wish, as Fred had a major love for animals, donations can be made to the BCSPCA, Alberta SPCA, or a charity of your choice in Fred’s honour.
