Italo Calabrese Obituary, Death – We regret to inform you that on January 12, 2024, at the age of 67, Martin Neels, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, and brother, died. He has nine children with Marian Neels, including Marcella and Steve Bos, Les and Krista Neels, Anna and Colin Both, Dave and Heidi Neels, Jeff and Leanne Neels, Reuben and Janice Neels, Laura and Chris Van Asselt, Kim and Jon Oostlander, and Kate and John Mourik. Everyone will have wonderful recollections of him. They’ll also miss him.

He had four foster children who were extremely dear to him: Nick Goodwin, Chris Mills, Lucius Reed, and Silas Reed. He also had 31 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. His mother-in-law Joanne Grisnich and mother-in-law Anna Neels are also devastated. Similarly, his siblings and companions are: Ina and Tony Kardux, Mattie and John Les, John and Dina Neels, Jan and Gayle Neels, Pete and Diane Neels, Bill and Patricia Neels, Ron and Jane Grisnich, Nita and Rus Traber, Edith Grisnich,

John and Audrey Grisnich, Annette and Jerry Beusekom, Willy and Leen Weeda, Lena Sterkenburg, Marianne and Bob Maljaars, and Jack and Joanne Neels are among them. Martin’s father, Frank Neels, preceded him, as did his father-in-law, Gilbert Grisnich; his sister-in-law, Jane Grisnich; his brother-in-law, Rick Sterkenburg; and his great-granddaughter, Kinsey. He was born on January 30, 1956, in Terneuzen, the Netherlands. He moved to Canada with his family in 1968. He met Marian, the woman he would marry, after his family moved to Chilliwack, British Columbia. In June 1976, they tied the knot. In 1982,

they relocated to Southern Alberta with their three oldest children. They relocated several times until discovering a small parcel of land in Fort Macleod where they could make many happy memories with their nine children. In 2007, they moved to a larger plot of land just south of Fort Macleod, where they raised more calves. He cherished both his coworkers and his job. Dad retired from farming in 2021 and moved to a smaller plot of land near Granum. Though he mourned the calves, he’d soon have more to care for. He sold his last cows after the Lord revealed to him in his heart that he had no more needs or desires on Earth.
