It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of Carl Anthony Rauch on January 13, 2022. Surrounded by his loving family, he left his earthly home to an even better adventure.
Carl was the family patriarch, a wise and kind leader who was intensely proud of his family. He enjoyed socializing with friends and neighbours too. Carl loved his cars and trucks, pursued snowmobile riding, quad riding, fishing, travelling, whittling and tipping up that occasional beer too.
Carl was born in Invermere August 2, 1935, youngest son of Anton and Maud Rauch and brother to May, Alyce and Ina. His first jobs were in Forestry and Highways in the Invermere area. Carl met the love of his life Sharon Claire and was married September 14, 1963. The family was complete when his two daughters Corrine and Janet were born. This young family moved from Invermere to Logan Lake in 1971 when Carl joined Lornex Mining Corporation which later became Highland Valley Copper. Carl enjoyed his work as a heavy equipment operator and retired in 1999, after a fulfilling 28-year career.
Left to mourn Carl’s passing are his wife Sharon,
Daughter Corrine Elynuik (Terry) Granddaughter Kassandra Gray (Chris) Great Granddaughter Evelyne and Great Grandson Maverick and Grandson Jake (Mikaela).
Daughter Janet Yakubowich (Tim) Grandson Garrett (Katie) Granddaughter Kelsey Lattin (Luke) Great Granddaughters, Jae-Lynn, Oakley and Avery.
Carl made such an impact on his friends, his neighbours and yes, even his acquaintances. His friendly wave while he walked his dog Sadie or relaxed in his chair in his driveway will be remembered by all.
The family is planning a Celebration of Life for Carl at the Church on The Hill Logan Lake on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 1pm. They look forward to reminiscing with you and hearing your stories.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, they welcome you to contribute to:
