Jacob Bauder

March 11, 1927 – April 25, 2025

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Jacob Bauder on April 25, 2025. Born on March 11, 1927, in Grossliebental, Ukraine, his early years were shaped by immense hardship, but through courage and perseverance, he built a life of love and generosity.

Jacob’s journey led him to Canada in 1952, and by 1954, he had made Calgary his home. There, he met his beloved wife, Lilly (Buchwitz), whom he married in December 1956, marking 68 wonderful years of devotion and partnership.

Predeceased by his father, Jakob (1937), his mother, Rosina (1965), and all of his nine siblings, Jacob is lovingly remembered by his wife, Lilly; his son, Roland (Margit); his grandchildren, Kristina, Jake, and Kevin; and his great-granddaughters, Karena and Melody.

Jacob will be remembered as an extraordinary husband, father, and grandfather. His selflessness knew no bounds, always putting his family’s needs before his own. He was a steadfast friend, neighbor, and helping hand to all who needed him. His warmth, kindness, and generosity will live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.

Through God’s grace, Jacob spent his final moments surrounded by love, with his devoted wife and son holding his hands as he passed. It was a privilege and a blessing to accompany him on his journey home.

His legacy is one of love, perseverance, and unwavering dedication to those he cherished. He will be deeply missed.
