Mr. Roy Douglas Jasper

March 24, 1935 - February 20, 2019

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Roy Douglas Jasper, beloved husband and father. Roy was born in Neepawa, Manitoba on March 25, 1935 and passed away peacefully at the High River Hospital on February 20, 2019 with his wife and son by his side. Roy will be dearly missed by his beloved wife of 49 years, Sheila (Goss) Jasper and his son William Jasper. Roy is also survived by his sisters, Wilma Buchanan, Wendy (Wayne) Henuset; brothers, Keith Jasper, Bill (Lorna) Jasper; brother-in-law Hugh (Noel) Goss; sisters-in-law, Irene Cowling and Marlene Goss and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear friends. Roy was predeceased by his parents, William (Bill) and Edna Jasper and sister-in-law Doris Jasper, brother-in-law Arnold Buchanan and nephew Tim Jasper. Roy came to Alberta in 1953 and worked in the oil patch in northern Alberta and British Columbia. His occupation started as a swamper, truck driver, cat operator, then he became an independent businessman, a farmer and then back to being an owner/operator of a business. Roy’s life was filled with family and friends. He always had a story to tell and a smile to share. Roy was a hard-working man, who loved the sunrise that started each day. He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him. Our family would like to extend a thank you to Dr. Hembroff of Black Diamond, and to Dr. Kapusta, who was a wonderful support in Roy’s last days. Also, thank you to the doctors, nurses, and staff at the High River Hospital for your loving care. A special thank you to the homecare staff, especially Debbie, who he called his little British nurse. To our family and friends that have been there for us in this difficult time – we send a heartfelt thank you. We would especially like to thank our High River Alliance Church family for your visits, support, meals and hosting the luncheon. God bless you all. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
