Willie Baerg Obituary
Willie Baerg peacefully departed this life on September 6, 2023 to be forever with the Lord.
He is survived by his wife of 25 years Hazel Baerg, his children, Sue (Grant) McDonald, Ken (Dana) Baerg, Sandy (Ewen) Johnston, his step-children Cynthia (Gord) Bentley, Steven (Kymme) Bath, his grandchildren, Katrina, Tessa, Chad, Laura, Kelsey, Nadine, Taylor, and Angela, his step-grandchildren, Jason, Jory, Jolene, John, Jamie, Jordana, Justin, Julia, and Jenna, and ten great-grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his first wife Maureen, 11 of his 12 siblings and his stepdaughter Sandra.
Willie was born in Coaldale, Alberta and grew up on a farm in Abbotsford and then Chilliwack. As a teen his older brother Neil taught him autobody repair. He then moved to Quesnel, then Kamloops where after working in the trade for a few years he started his own repair shop. In the early 1970s he sold Kam Collision and bought into Bloom Building Products. He sold Blooms and retired in the 1990s.
Willie was a very devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved to coach his kids' sports, teach the kids water skiing, and snow skiing, as well as driving. He was always willing to help build or fix a project.
He was very active in the Valleyview Bible Church since 1970. He loved to volunteer in many organizations and was involved with the New Life Mission and M2W2 Prison Ministries. Some of his favourite activities were snow skiing, golfing, boating and square dancing.
A celebration of Willie's life will take place at Valleyview Bible Church, 2386 E.T.C Hwy, on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023, at 11:00 am with Pastor LaMont Schmidt officiating. Viewing will be prior to the service between 10:00 and 10:30 am. Interment will be at Hillside Cemetery at 2:30 pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a Charity of Your Choice would be appreciated.
