Kevin Wayne Ziegler

It is with our deepest sorrow to announce that Kevin, our beloved son, brother, dad, uncle, nephew, and friend has suddenly passed away on April 28, 2021.

Kev was a kind-hearted, easy-going guy that would give you the shirt off his back. His sense of humor and fun-loving personality struck the hearts of most who knew him and gained him many friends who referred to him as “Zig”. He would get lovingly teased by his siblings about how “fussy” he was of certain things and defend his ways with his cheeky comebacks. We will miss his joking wit and his huge heart! In his early years, Kevin can be remembered playing ping-pong, cruising around Olds in his ’69 Chevelle or working on the pipelines, a job he loved. Almost anyone who knew him has a funny story to tell and even his nieces and nephews break out in a smile when they talk about “Uncle Kev.” Kevin lived most of his adult life in Calgary where he continued to touch the hearts and leave an impacting impression an all he met. His final journey, in Calgary where he lived his last few years at “Aurora on the Park” where he made friends with staff and the residents.

Kevin is lovingly remembered by his parents Donna (Murray) and Marvin (Louise); his siblings Shawna (Chris), Ed, Tanya, and Maria (Lance); his daughter Tia; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents: Elmer and Violet, Charlie and Marie and his other dad, Sig; as well as extended family and friends. Kevin was a great guy, loved by many and leaves a huge void in the hearts of his family and friends.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the staff at Aurora on the Park, Foothills Hospital, and all the support workers for their care of Kevin and their compassionate support to our family. Due to covid restrictions, there will not be a celebration of life at this time.
