Bob Baerg

Our dear husband, dad, papa and friend, Bob Baerg, went to be with Jesus on September 2, 2021. Dad was born on August 19, 1950, in Three Hills, Alberta, to Paul and Olive Baerg.

His childhood was spent in Abbotsford, BC, and he often talked of his memories and still treasured the friendships he made there. In the winter of 1961, the family packed up and moved to Edberg. He gave his heart to God and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite. In 1973, he married Glenda Mary Toews. They started their life together in the old farmhouse at Meeting Creek, and moved to the farm north of Edberg in 1986. Dad loved farming with his children. He was also a mechanic, catskinner, welder, and a fixer of everything (often with his Vise-Grip). He loved trucks, yellow paint, tractors, basically anything with a motor. His Duramaxes were tuned and locked into four-wheel drive for a speedy takeoff at harvest.

Some of Dad’s favourite times were spent on the CSI board, travelling to Ghana, Burkina Faso, and later, Mozambique. Arizona was also a special place. He loved the people and was so enthused to help them with farming and irrigation methods. He still has many friends whom he made while on the board. Dad was a world traveler, loving every minute, and his passports could tell many stories. Later on, Dad loved working with his sawmill and building rustic furniture. His side-by-side was kept busy – checking crops, getting stuck, going to the farm, and taking it to Hummingbird Falls which was his favourite thing. His trips to visit “the girls” were something to which he always looked forward. Determination, drive, skill, and stubborn are words used by a friend to describe Dad, and they fit him well. Dad loved Jesus, and the church was extremely important to him. Over the last years, his prayers were so meaningful, straight from his heart. They were special.

Those left with precious memories are: • His wife, Glenda • Michelle Baerg (Todd, Lane, Sevanna), Bawlf, Alberta • Larry and Sarah Baerg (Alec, Isla), Edberg, Alberta • Greg and Amy Baerg (Cole, Luke, Abbey, Brody), Edberg,

Awaiting him in Heaven are his parents, parents-in-law, one brother-in-law, one sister-in-law, and one nephew.

Services were held on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 at Edberg Mennonite Church, Edberg, Alberta. Bob was laid to rest at the Edberg Lakeview Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.sunsetltd.ca.
