Albert Stephen Jucker-Kiddle

It is with great love and sadness that we say goodbye to our dear little boy Albie, who passed away unexpectedly in Calgary, Alberta on Monday, March 4, 2019 after a short illness, at the age of 7 years. Even though his time with us was too short, he has brought immeasurable joy and brightness to our lives. He enriched all of us who loved him with his laughter, his strength and his love. His courage and good humour in overcoming the challenges he faced were an inspiration to his family, friends, and teachers. Albert loved playing with his little brother Henry, swimming, listening to and making music, riding his adapted bicycle, swinging, being read to, and laughing whenever someone burped, coughed or sneezed. He will always be in the hearts of his parents, Amie and Jonathan, and brother Henry; grandparents, Frances and Peter Jucker, and Elizabeth and David Kiddle; his aunt Jennie, uncle Rob, and cousins Amelia and Thomas; his aunt Simone, uncle Chris, and cousins Nicholas, Hazel, and Emma; as well as many other family and friends, and of course his cat Max. So many amazing teachers, therapists, and caregivers played important roles in Albert’s life. His family is so grateful for their energy, passion and dedication over the years. We also thank the staff at the Alberta Children’s Hospital and Rotary Flames House for their care and compassion. Donations can be made in Albert’s memory to Emily Follensbee School (5139 14 St S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2T 3W5), or Cerebral Palsy Kids and Families (#121 - 7015 Macleod Trail S.W.
