Obituary For Kevin Harold Stafford

Kevin Stafford, resident of Grande Prairie, AB, passed away on Monday, May 15, 2023, at Prairie Lake Hospice, Grande Prairie, at the age of 76 years.

Kevin was born October 21, 1946, in Edmonton, AB, and raised in Fawcett, AB. He spent most of his working years in the oil and gas industry, working in Fort St. John, BC, Saudi Arabia, and the Beaufort Sea, before settling in the Grande Prairie area in the 1980s.

He loved to go boating and was an avid golfer. Summers would find him boating with family and friends on the Shuswap Lakes in BC or on the nearest golf course. He enjoyed holiday and weekend get-togethers and was an ardent fan of the Edmonton Oilers hockey team.

He will be sadly missed by his wife Beth Stafford; children: Todd Stafford, Tracy Stafford, Tammy Walsh, Don (Cynthia) Van Duzee, and Robyn Van Duzee; grandchildren: Shantelle, Sarah, Isabelle, Dominic, Amanda, Aleesha, Dante, Everett, and Gaige; great-grandchildren: Aliyah, Tiauna, Abigail, and Teagan; sisters: Linda Olafson, Noreen (Norman) Swenson; brother-in-law Raymond Hoglund; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Kevin was predeceased by his parents Harold and Flora Stafford, and his sister Judi Hansen.

As per Kevin’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
