Jack Gordon Forseth, resident of Grande Prairie, AB, formerly of Sexsmith, AB, passed away on Friday, October 8, 2021, at Grande Prairie Care Centre, at the age of 85 years.

On October 8, 2021, Jack took his last breath on earth, and his first in heaven. He is now with his Lord and Saviour Jesus, that he loved and served all his life. We rejoice he is free from all his pain and suffering. Jack was born on January 9, 1936, to John and Gudrun (nee Liland) Forseth. He grew up on the farm near Buffalo Lake, AB.

Jack was a gentle, quiet man with a wonderful sense of humor. He had many friends, and loved them all. All of the nurses in the QEII Hospital and the Grande Prairie Care Centre, where he spent the last year, all said how much they loved his smile. He liked to tease everyone, especially his wife and daughters.

Jack did not have many hobbies; but he enjoyed board games, puzzles, spending time with his family, and working on the yard and the house.

Jack will be sadly missed by his loving wife Sue; children Rachel Forseth, and Janel Thomas and son in-law Dustin Thomas; grandchildren: Nelia, Sadie, and Weston; two sisters Helen Sutton and Alice Melnychuk; three brothers: Howard, Victor, and Orville; nieces and nephews; as well as cousins to numerous too name.
