In Loving Memory Of
ROES, Andreas James
October 6, 1944 - February 28, 2015
Andy Roes, beloved husband of Sheena Roes passed away peacefully at 70 years old. Born in Drumheller October 6, 1944. Andy lived in Dorothy and went to the Dorothy school from 1950 - 1959. Andy attended grade 10-11 at Lindsay Thurber in Red Deer and grade 12 at Western Canada in Calgary. Andy was always involved with farming. He spent time working on the oil rigs before focusing solely on farming near the Homestead Coulee in 1970, establishing Roes Brothers with his brother Frank. Andy started his own farm and homestead in 1977. You could always find Andy connecting with family members on the phone or on the computer. Andy loved to travel, and had a particular fondness for his many trips to Germany to visit and connect with family members. Andy enjoyed a great conversation regardless of who they were or how long he had known them. Besides his loving wife Sheena, Andy is survived by his four daughters; Marissa, Stacey (Bill), Sharlie (Andrew), Jenny; and son Daniel (Melissa). He is also survived by his nine grandchildren; Jaden, Brody, Gabrielle, Matthew, Roman, Warren, Everleigh, Kiana, and Harlow. He is also survived by his brother Frank (Pat), sister Betty (Jim), and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded by his son Christian, parents Christian and Alice, and brother John. A Celebration of the life of Andreas (Andy), James Roes was held at the Homestead Coulee Community Centre on March 7 from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. If desired, a donation can be made to the Alberta Children’s Hospital, 2888 Shaganappi Trail NW, Calgary, AB, T3B 6A8 in lieu of flowers.
