KAISER
Craig Steven

September 23, 1969 - July 29, 2019

Craig Steven Kaiser was born September 23, 1969 in Bassano, Alberta. He lived in the Hussar area all
of his life, on farms north of town. Craig’s involvement in agriculture started at a young age and lasted his entire life. He was an active 4-H member and leader and enjoyed farming grain and raising animals. His heart was in the prairies, and he enjoyed the beauty of his vocation through the seasons. In 2004 Craig married the love of his life, Kooter, and they had three children, Belva Mae, Jack Cotton and Mavie Ida. Craig was a generous man, happy to share his time, knowledge and especially a good laugh with those around him. He will be remembered for his humorous observations and clever twists of words. Craig took the time to savour the splendor around him and was patient and gentle, perhaps this is why children were so drawn to him. Craig loved to be home and was called to his home in heaven July 29, 2019.
Craig was predeceased by his mother Rita (Mitzel) Kaiser, father Albert (Sonny) Kaiser.
He is survived by his wife Kooter (Klemmensen) Kaiser, children; Belva, Jack and Mavie Kaiser, brother Barry
(Lee-Ann) Kaiser, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A funeral was held for Craig on Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. at the Hussar Community Hall.
