NEIL KROEKER
NEIL ALEXANDER KROEKER passed away peacefully after a brief illness June 14th, 2019. He was predeceased by his father Peter (2006). Neil was a loving son to his mother Elva, a much loved and wonderful big brother to his sister Merle (Phil Adkins), and loving Uncle to both Niece Erin (Gord Hewitt), Nephew Ryan Adkins, as well as Great Niece Avery and Great Nephew Logan. Neil leaves a loving family of uncles, aunts, cousins and friends who will miss his presence. Following his dreams and goals, Neil enjoyed his farm, his Tennessee Walker Horses and fishing, winter in his ice shed and summer in his new fishing boat. He pursued many interests, private pilot, hunting and rodeo competitions, but he always appreciated quiet evenings at home reading his many books.
Neil enjoyed thirty five years working with the staff at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park and was enjoying his retirement. His farm was his favourite place to be and raising horses was a lifetime passion. He enjoyed husky dogs and leaves his dog Shadow in the comfort and loving home of his niece and her family. We will miss his jokes, his broad base of knowledge, his good cooking skills, helpful hands and comforting presence in our lives. Neil was a big man whose life left a special imprint on the hearts of his family and friends. At Neil’s request there will be a private family service.
Thank you to Todd Sjoberg, Andrew Pratt, Gary McDowell and the staff at Moose Jaw Funeral Home for their compassion and kind consideration to our family during this time of loss. Special appreciation to Dr. Geyer for the excellent care he provided to Neil and the kindness extended to the family. To the nurses who cared for Neil during his short hospital stay, the family expresses thanks for the wonderful care given to Neil, with special appreciation to Nurse Alison Boyle.
God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear,
No one heard the footsteps
Of an Angel drawing near…
Softly from the shadows,
There came a gentle call.
You closed your eyes
And went to sleep…
You quietly left us all.
