STANLEY HERBERT REIB 1949 — 2022

STANLEY HERBERT REIB

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stanley Herbert Reib.

Stan gained his angel wings on January 15, 2022 at the age of 72. He was a bright spark in this world and will be deeply missed. Stan’s family was unprepared for this unexpected loss.

You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew why.

As a young man, Stan worked in the BC Forest Industry and later he worked many years for Canada Post in Vancouver, BC.

Stan showed up when it mattered, had your back, gave to those in need, and would defend and stand up for his loved ones should the need for it arise. Stan touched many lives as a brother, friend and beloved uncle.

Preceding him in death was his father, Herbert Reib and his mother, Anne Reib. Stan will be laid to rest in Camrose Valleyview Cemetery, Alberta.

We take comfort in knowing that Stan is now at peace surrounded by light. We will all miss him more than words can say.

Special thanks to Dr. J. Takahashi, Dr. Jason C. O’Connell, hospital Administration and nursing staff at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops and to Kamloops Funeral Home, for their compassion and support.

Viewing/Visitation will be held from 12pm-1pm, Wednesday, January 26, 2022 in St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 4713 50 St., Camrose, AB.

The Graveside Service will follow at 1pm in Valley View Cemetery, Camrose, AB. Reverend Trina Holmberg, officiating.
