Keith Erwin Jorgensen 1946 -2016

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Jorgensen of Coaldale, beloved husband of Beverley. Keith passed away in Lethbridge after a courageous battle with cancer on November 3, 2016 at the age of 70 years. Keith was born in Lethbridge, Alberta to Edward and Joyce Jorgensen January 10, 1946 and was raised on the family farm in the Iron Springs district. He attended Huntsville School and graduated at Picture Butte High School in 1964. Keith attended Lethbridge Junior College for two years and completed his Bachelor of Education at the University of Calgary. After graduation Keith taught at R.I. Baker Junior High School, Picture Butte High School, and Kate Andrews High School. Keith met Beverley while attending Lethbridge Junior College, celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this past September. Keith was an active volunteer in Coaldale and Southern Alberta with many organizations. He was the scout master for Coaldale First Boy Scouts of Canada, an active ATA member and served as President of Local 21, on the board in both the SABOA and SAFOA, as an executive member for the Southern Alberta High School Baseball League, Lethbridge American Legion Baseball, Montana American Legion Baseball, and Commissioner of WMBL, and as founding member of the Prairie Baseball Academy. Two highlights for Keith were seeing Lloyd Nolan Yard become a reality in 1997 and watching the Lethbridge Bulls win the 2015 Championship. Keith enjoyed the game of golf whether it was at the local Land O’Lakes, Arizona, or wherever the wind took him and his golf buddies. Keith liked to garden and lovingly planted, hoed and harvested his vegetables with great care and pride. It was here that he felt peace and calm from his busy and active daily life. Above all else Keith’s greatest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. Keith had great fun teasing and loving each one. He was indeed proud of their many accomplishments and always challenged each of them to become the best they could be, to be honest and fair, to respect and to love one another. Keith is survived by his wife Beverley; children: Jodi and Ross Harker of Raymond, Alberta; Trevor and Marda Jorgensen of Phoenix, Arizona; Marnie and Richard Flores of New Albany, Ohio, and seven wonderful grandchildren: Hilary Harker, Claire Harker, Benton Harker, Maren Jorgensen, Nigel Flores, Poppy Flores and Lavender Flores. He is also survived by two sisters Jerri (John) Bolton and Heather (Doug) Speelman and three sisters-in-law, Jean (Will) Martens, May Reyes, and Bonnie Brown as well many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents, James Edward and Joyce Alberta Jorgensen and his grandparents, Erwin and Clara Kane and Jens Nikolai and Christiane Jorgensen. Relatives and friends are invited to meet with the family at Salmon and Sons Funeral Home 433 Stubb Ross Road South, Lethbridge (entrance to the airport) on Thursday, November 10 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm or prior to the funeral service on Friday from 12:00 to 12:45 pm at the church.
