It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Miles Russell Hesselgrave of Bellevue, Alberta, who was called from this life on May 22, 2015 at the age of 67 years.
Miles was born on April 20, 1948 in Oliver, BC to parents, Milo & Hope Hesselgrave. He was raised with a sense of responsibility and caring nature. He learned to appreciate what we have rather than what we have not and his greatest blessing was his family; he made them the priority in his life and he was rewarded with their love and admiration.
Miles worked as a Medic but also dedicated himself to the Scouts, Citizens’ On Patrol, Volunteer Fire Department, the Red Knights and the Ride for Sight charity. He loved to cruise the open roads on his motorcycle, snack on popcorn, collect model trains, watch hockey, spend precious moments with his family and to make you smile. He will be dearly missed and always fondly remembered.
He is survived by his devoted children, John Hesselgrave, Steven Turner and Tina (Rob) Davies; his cherished grandchildren, Justin Manning, Nicole Manning and Olivia Manning; his feline friends; as well as his extended family and many close friends.
He was predeceased by his father, Milo Todd Hesselgrave; his mother, Hope Audrey Hesselgrave (nee: Pottruff); and his sister, Wilda VanWinkle.
The Visitation Service allowing us to say our final farewell was held on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at Fantin's Funeral Chapel in Blairmore.
The Celebration of Life ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 28, 2015 at 2:00 pm at the Bellevue Inn (2414-213 Street). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
