Gib Salberg left our world on May 5, 2020 to join our Heavenly Father’s World. He was born on October 31, 1927 to Oscar and Jeannette Salberg. He grew up on the family farm in Ault, CO. He enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Germany during WWII and was very proud to be a veteran.
He met and married Edythe Parson from Pierce, CO in 1948. Together they farmed on several farms in the Pierce and Ault area. Later Gib managed/owned the Garnsey and Wheeler Tractor Company in Greeley.
After retiring and selling the tractor company, Gib worked for the Weld County Assessor’s Office assisting in farm and ranch land assessment.
Gib loved to hunt, woodwork and most of all fish, especially on the Poudre River. In his later years, he loved his Rockies and listening to baseball.
His final years were spent at The Greeley Place where he made some wonderful friendships.
He was preceded in death by his wife Edythe, his parents, Oscar and Jeanette, brother Alan of Ault and his daughter Patricia Schaffer. He is survived by his sons, Ray of Helendale, California and his wife Jennifer and Darrell of Aurora, CO and his wife Cassie. He had 3 grandchildren, Todd Schaffer, Scott Schaffer and Heather Salberg Keefer, 5 great grandchildren and 6 nieces and nephews.
Dad will be greatly missed. He has now joined his family and coffee group in Heaven. Until we meet again, Dad.
