Obituary for Marvin Louis Leischner
Marvin Louis Leischner
August 25, 1936 – March 29, 2016
Marvin’s life ended quietly on the morning of March 29, 2016 at the Innisfail Health Care Centre after a lengthy journey through the complications of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Marvin was born in Huxley, Alberta to Eli and Tena Leischner. He was home schooled by Tena for first grade, taking the rest of his schooling at country schools, then attending the Composite High School in Red Deer until he left to farm east of Innisfail with his parents. He and Bev were married April 6, 1963, living and farming until his passing on their farm east of Bowden. Marvin is survived by his wife Beverly, daughter Sandra (Steven) Coates, Logan and Selena, daughter Elaine (Rob) Klemmensen, James and Hannah, son Keith (Terri), Shelby, Kaylee, Leslee and daughter Kim. He also leaves behind his sister Marilyn Carlson and her family Crystal (Brian) DeJong, Lynette Carlson and daughter in law Lisa Carlson and her children. Marvin was predeceased by his nephew Dalon Carlson.
Marvin was a father and a farmer – first, last and always. He lived by the motto “first we work, then we play”. He was able always to find the time for play either with his family in his fishing boat, trail riding or hunting with his buddies. He didn’t let the COPD deter him, climbing into the tractor for many springs with an oxygen tank (or 2 or 3) on the floor beside him. Same thing at harvest but needing more oxygen tanks as the years went on, so Keith kept a stash of them in the grain truck and could be seen climbing up the combine ladder with an armful of full tanks and back down with the empties. He did everything he loved as long as he possibly could. Good times Dad, we’ll miss you.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jesse Christiansen and Dr. Henderson for their compassionate care of Dad through this journey. It was so very much appreciated. At Marvin’s request no formal service will be held. If friends so desire memorial tributes may be made to the Lung Association, Innisfail Health Care Centre, or the charity of one’s choice.
