Obituary of Andrew James Strong

It is with great sorrow that Andrew’s family announces his sudden passing early Saturday, December 10, 2005 at his Bragg Creek home. In his short three years, Andrew (Roo) touched many hearts. His time with us will be forever treasured by his parents Larry and Candis; and his big brother Ian; his auntie and uncle, Dee and Kelvin Colquhoun; and cousin Jarod played a big part in making him laugh. He will also be remembered by his Grandma Lil (Caryk) and Grandma Kay (Strong); as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Nikki Drury, his Pacekids assistant, brought a wonderful kindness to his mornings. A Celebration of Andrew’s Life will be held at the Springbank United Church (1 mile north of Callaway Park Exit off the Trans Canada Highway) on Friday, December 16 at 2:00 p.m. Children are very welcome to participate. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. In lieu of flowers memorial tributes may be made directly to Pacekids Program (a program for infants and children with motor disabilities) at #112, 5211 Macleod Trail S. Calgary, AB T2H 0J3. Candis and Larry wish to express their gratitude to Doctors Aitken, Prince, Wong, Barlow, and Kiefer, and to numerous nurses and therapists at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. In living memory of Andrew Strong, a tree will be planted by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Crowfoot Chapel, 82 CROWFOOT CIRCLE N.W., CALGARY. Telephone: (403) 241-0044.
