Feb. 13/38 - May 31, 2012 MR. ERVIN (ERV) THEODORE FARKAS, beloved husband of Donna T. Farkas, passed away suddenly at St. Michael’s Health Centre, Thursday, May 31, 2012 at the age of 74 years. He was the loving and devoted father of Ervin Lynn Farkas of Lethbridge and Deborah Marie (Henry) England of New London, Wisconsin, USA; two grandkids (both the apple of his eye), Amber Marie Chubb of Calgary, AB., and Cory William Farkas of Lethbridge. Erv was born in Stockholm, Sask., attending school in Swift Current, Sask., and later in Lethbridge. Erv completed a five year apprenticeship in commercial printing (pressman) at the Lethbridge Herald: practiced his art in Lethbridge, Hamilton, Ont., Calgary, AB., and back to Lethbridge. Erv retired from his trade after 35 years; dabbling in several other jobs until his accident in 1999 (causing him to be a paraplegic). Erv was a compassionate, thoughtful, honourable man who loved his family dearly. Erv loved all animals especially horses…he was a skilled horseman and rider spending many hours riding in the coulees. He loved to travel and was fortunate to see many parts of Canada particularly enjoying his years on the Kingston Peninsula in New Brunswick. He had a never-ending ability to fix things big or small. Erv’s unique sense of humour and his quick wit was with him to the end. He touched us all and our time with him will be forever in our memories.

We want to say “Thank You” to all the staff at St. Michael’s Care Centre and a special recognition for Sister Ivy and Sister Caroline…Erv looked forward to your daily visits.
