Alvin Siegers
1959 ~ 2016
Albert Vincent (Alvin) Siegers of Medicine Hat passed away peacefully
on Sunday, July 3, 2016, at the age of 57 years, after a long battle
with MS. Alvin leaves to cherish his memory one brother, Adrian
(Darnelda) of Sechelt, B.C., two sisters, Alice (George) Theofan of
Medicine Hat, Corinne (Tyler) Johnson of Newmarket, ON. and sister-in-
law, Brenda Siegers of Medicine Hat as well as numerous nieces and
nephews. He also leaves behind one aunt, Ansje van Cuyk and one
uncle, Sietse Siegers, both of the Netherlands. Alvin was predeceased
by his parents, Egbert and Adriana “Jeanne” Siegers, one brother, Bert
and one niece, Janine. Alvin was born in Medicine Hat but also lived
in Brooks, Lethbridge and Regina, returning to Medicine Hat where he
lived for the past 9 years. Alvin had a flare for humour, a brilliant
mind and a passion for music with the ability to play any instrument
he put his mind to. His quick wit and banter with his family and
friends will be fondly remembered. As his health declined, he kept in
contact with the world through the internet and embraced technology to
keep his mind active. In honouring Alvin’s request, no formal funeral
service will be held. Family extend their heartfelt appreciation to
the care givers, his extended family at Haven View Nursing Home. Your
exceptional patience and compassion with Alvin was obvious during the
years he was privileged to reside with you. You were a comfort to us
all during his last days. Private Interment will take place in the
family plot at Hillside Cemetery. (Condolences may be expressed by
