Jesse Aylsworth Cole 1927 – 2012 Mr. Jesse Aylsworth Cole passed away on March 22, 2012 at the age of 84 years. He is survived by his sister Alice Wood of Cobble Hill, BC and foster son William Robert of Bonnyville, AB, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Jesse is also survived by his very special friends Louis and Eleanor Richaud. He was predeceased by his wife Martha; sisters Hazel McNabb, Edna Hanson, Edith Nikirk and Letty Cole; and by brothers Clarence, Claude and Richard; and also by his parents Arthur and Olive Cole. Jesse was born on December 24, 1927 on the family farm at Heisler, AB and attended the Grove School. At a young age, Jesse worked on merchant ships, experiencing many cultures and sailing to many countries of the world. When he returned home, he married Martha Nelson of Red Willow and began farming and ranching, something they loved to do together. Jesse was a true horseman as everything he did involved horses, from a young boy riding horseback to school, to rodeoing and winning numerous awards for bronc riding, and, lastly, to owning and racing standard bred horses. Jesse was also a very proud member of the Standard Bred Horseman’s Association. Jesse loved to laugh and tell stories and will be fondly remembered by all. A memorial graveside service will be held at the Hastings Coulee Cemetery at a later date. As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of Jesse, memorial contributions may be made to Hastings Coulee Cemetery Fund in care of Brennen Funeral Home and Cremation Services P.O. Box 193 Stettler, Alberta TOC 2LO (Phone 403.742.3315) who have been entrusted with the care and arrangements.

Michael (Mike) Anthony Yurkoski Mike passed away on March 26, 2012 as a result of a motor vehicle accident while he was returning home from work. Mike was born in Camrose, AB on April 27, 1970 to his parents Rudy and Margaret. He grew up on the family farm with his sister Jackie and his brother Murray. He graduated high school in 1988 from Ryley School. He then went to NAIT where he achieved his machinist diploma. Mike worked at what he loved. His career allowed him to work for various companies including Stelco, Arrow Oil Tools, Springer Value and Machine, and finally with Flowserve in Leduc – a position he was very proud of. He lived a very active sport life playing hockey, baseball, badminton and volleyball. Mike also enjoyed hunting and fishing. He spent countless hours dirt biking and sledding with friends and was famous for his bush parties. Mike will always be remembered as a loyal friend by many. Mike also had a love of cooking which started at the age of 12. That love faded for a time when his mom told him he would have to clean up his mess. After his teen years, he became an excellent cook. Mike is survived by his mother Margaret; daughters Darin and Kenzie; brother Murray (Pam); nephew Ayden; nieces Chloe and Jordyn; his partner Angie and her family. He was predeceased by his father Rudy; his sister Jackie; grandparents John and Ann Wallace and Emil and Mary Yurkoski. It is with great sadness that we release Mike into the arms of God where he will be gently held and loved. Mike will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew him. A funeral service was held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at Camrose United Church (4829-50 Street). Cremation has taken place.

December 9, 1913 – May 3, 1997 As life unfolds another year Treasured memories keep you near It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone that night For part of us went with you The night God called you home.
July 31, 1921 – April 2, 2011 Through tears we saw you fading, And we watched you pass away. Our hearts were almost broken, But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free of pain, How could we wish you back with us again? Please, God, take this message to our parents and tell them how much we all miss them and give them our love! Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Great-Grandparents and Friends Love always, Daryle, Diane and family, Doug, Hermine and family
