Mr. Lyle Hermanson

October 17, 1959 - February 10, 2014

Mr. Lyle Hermanson of High River passed away peacefully on February 10, 2014 at the Signal Pointe Carewest Centre in Calgary. Lyle is survived by his loving wife Brenda; brothers Ken, Lloyd (Ruth) and Allen; mother-in-law Adeline; sisters-in-law Vivian (Bruce), Valerie (Dave); niece Jade (James) Byrd; nephews Paul, Derek, and Mike, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins. Lyle was born in High River on October 17, 1959 and was raised and educated in High River. He was trained as a heavy duty mechanic and worked for the Calgary Airport Authority for many years. Lyle’s work experience also included seismic companies and included a stint on a seismic ship. He was very gifted at mechanical repair and got great satisfaction in improving on original designs. Lyle enjoyed volunteering with the High River Air Cadets, especially the camp-outs. He was very proud of his father who drove a tank in World War II and Lyle always maintained an interest in tanks and was privileged to drive one during a military tank restoration promotion. Lyle married his wife Brenda July 23rd 2011, and they were deeply devoted to each other. To Brenda, he was always very romantic, gentle, and loving. He spent 5 months in the High River Hospital, 3rd floor, and his stay there was more endurable because of the wonderful staff and the excellent care and compassion that they provided. His famous sense of humour was with him until the end. He died from complications from Parkinsons Multiple Systems Atrophy on 10 of February 2014 at the age of 54. Lyle was well-loved and will be deeply missed by us all. He was pre-deceased by his parents Mary and Clarence. Flowers gratefully declined. If desired, memorial donations in memory of Lyle may be made to the 187 Foothills Air Cadets (Box 5124, High River, AB, T1V 1M3). A Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, February 19th at 11:00 a.m. at the High River United Church with reception to follow.
