KNOWLES, JEFFREY
It is with great sadness that the family of Jeffrey Arthur Knowles Of Calgary, Alberta announce his passing on September 28, 2015. Born in Perth, NB on March 4, 1960 he was the son of the late Milton (Mickey) Knowles and Doreen (Ward) Knowles of Aroostook, NB.
Jeff is survived by his mother; siblings: Robert (Valerie) Knowles of Calgary; David (Jane) Knowles of Katy, Texas; Janet Ruth Knowles of Aroostook, NB; and Greg (Robyn) Knowles of Calgary, Alberta; as well as six nephews and nieces.
He will be forever missed by his adopted family, Jammie and Zsolt Lamar, Brandi and Shelly, and most especially by the children whom he held very dear, and who knew him as ‘Grampy Jeff’- Austin, Alexis, Madison, MacKenzie, and Zane.
Jeff retired in March 2015 from the Canadian Pacific Railroad, after 38 years of service as a conductor and brakeman.
Jeff lived his life on his own terms, and will be remembered as a man with a gruff exterior and a heart of pure gold.
Respecting Jeff’s wishes, there will be no wake or funeral service. A private graveside service will be planned at a later date, with interment in the McKellar family cemetery in Arthurette, NB.
For those who may wish, a memorial donation to the SPCA would be appreciated by the family.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Foster’s Garden Chapel & Crematorium, 3220 4 St. NW, Calgary, AB T2M 3A5.
