Klaus Heckel passed peacefully away on July 7, 2024 surrounded by his family. Klaus is survived by his loving wife, Edith; brother, Adolf; daughters Claudia, Veronica (Brent) and Jessica (Jason); and grandchildren Julia, Nick, Angie, Alex, Maddy, Rebecca and Anthony.
Klaus was born in Germany and immigrated to Canada as a young man. He soon met the love of his life on holiday in Acapulco, Mexico and proposed to Edith three days later. Married for 57 years, Klaus was a devoted family man, loving husband, cherished dad, grandpa and loyal friend. He loved playing his accordion and creating memories with family and friends. Kind and funny, with a love of music and travelling, Dad showed us all how to live a good life with the people you love.

I’m right here, in your heart” --David M. Romano
