Joe Megyes
1930 – 2013
Joseph Megyes, beloved husband of Anne Megyes, passed away in Taber on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at the age of 82 years.
A private family burial will be held at the Taber Memorial Garden prior to the funeral service.
The Funeral Service will be held at Knox United Church,  4929 – 50 Avenue, Taber on Friday, July 19, 2013 at 11:00 A.M. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at http://www.southlandfuneral.com <http://www.southlandfuneral.com/&gt; .
Joe leaves behind his loving wife of sixty one years, Anne;  daughters Janet Megyes of Lethbridge and Joanne (Glen) Sparks of Taber; son Jerry (Lori) Megyes of Taber; grandchildren Kandace Sparks, Kodi (Kym) Sparks, Melissa Megyes and Neil Megyes.

He was predeceased by his parents Jim and Julia Astalos; father and mother-in-law Peter and Margaret Braun; sister Margaret Duggan as well as numerous brothers and sisters-in-law.
Joe was born in Taber on August 21, 1930. He started farming at a young age and continued to do so, until he became involved with cattle in later years. Buying and selling for Balog Auction then became his passion which he continued to do until his health prevented him. Joe went through a multitude of challenges with courage, pain and silent dignity. When told that he sacrificed time with his family for what he loved doing most, taking care of farming, cattle and helping others; a family member then said, doesn¹t that mean he¹s a good man.
Yes that ³Magic² was a good man.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Joe¹s name may be made directly to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Suite 400, 740 – 4 Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0N9 or to the Canadian Diabetes Association, #204, 2323 – 32 Avenue N.E., Calgary, Alberta T2E 6Z3.
