SVEINSON, Keith Reginald

May 20, 1931 – Innisfail, Alberta

November 25, 2021 – Calgary, Alberta

  It is with deep sadness that we       announce the passing of Keith      Sveinson on Wednesday, November 25, 2021 at the age of 90 years.

  Keith, and his twin brother Kenneth, were born at Innisfail, Alberta May 20, 1931 to Violet Sveinson (nee Cook), and Waldemar John Sveinson. The twins and older brother, Allan, were raised on the family farm one mile south of the Icelandic village of    Markerville.

  Keith graduated from the University of Alberta with a B.Sc. degree         (Agriculture) in 1957 and became a professional Agrologist. His career spanned more than 45 years, most as Manager of Agricultural Banking       Services for RBC in Alberta. Keith also had farmland near Cochrane and raised Simmental cattle. He loved his time on the farm and spent          countless hours there.

  Keith married his high school sweetheart, Edna Holt, December 7, 1957, and they were married nearly 62 years before Edna’s passing November 24, 2019. Until March of this year he continued to live in the home in      University Heights where he and Edna had raised their family and          developed life-long friendships.

  Music was always part of his life and in his retirement years, he was a member of the Stampede City Chorus. His barbershop quartet, Close     Encounters, was an award-winning group competing in local, regional and international competitions.

  People, community and connection were most important to our Dad. He brought people together, was an amazing host and had a wonderful caring heart.

  Keith and Edna are survived by their three children, Bryan (Sandra), Jill (Murray dec.), and John (Jody); five grandchildren, Dana (Riley), Stefan, Rachel, Colton, and Taneson; and great-granddaughter Reyndis.

  Thank you to the staff at StayWell Manor, Foothills Hospital and Agape Hospice for the loving care and support given to Dad during the past few months.

  A private family service will be held. There will be a Celebration of Keith’s Life at a later date.

  Condolences, memories and photos may be shared and viewed on Keith’s expanded obituary at http://www.McInnisandHolloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Salvation Army (Agape Hospice), 1731 29th Street SW Calgary, AB T3C 1M6, or online at http://www.salvationarmy.ca.

  In living memory of Keith Sveinson, a tree will be planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area.
