It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our brother, Albert Friesen.
Al was born in Altona on September 16, 1950. Along with his parents and siblings, he moved to Winnipeg in 1972. Al then moved to Edmonton, and then to his favourite place, the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, where he remained until his passing.
Al loved nature, and the ocean was his happy place. Throughout his battle with MG, his walks along the water were what kept him fighting, trying each day to go “just a bit farther”. He finally made it to two hour treks along the beach.
Al will be so incredibly missed by all of his family and friends. His family will be having a private “Celebration of Life” to honour the life that he fought so hard for and loved so much.
