Siegfried Daniel Martin

December 2, 1932 - October 1, 2017

Siegfried Daniel Martin, 84, of Agassiz, BC, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2017 at Cheam Village.

Sieg was born in Govan, Saskatchewan on December 2, 1932. He moved with his family to Chilliwack in 1945, before settling on the family farm in Agassiz in 1946. 

He was married to Arlene on August 27, 1971.  He took on the role of father to Arlene's children without hesitation and the arrival of their son Daniel completed his family.

Sieg worked as a heavy equipment operator, finishing his career with the Department of Highways.

He enjoyed fishing, watching sports on TV, tinkering in his workshop, working in his garden and spending time with his friends and family.

His greatest joy was spending time with his grandkids, great-grandkids, nieces and nephews.  His sense of humour was refreshing and his laughter infectious; he loved to tease and flirt - anyone was fair game.

Sieg is survived by his children - Irene, Nancy, Bob, Dave and Danny; 12 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren; his sister Frieda and brother Arnie (Annetta); many nieces and nephews; and the rest of his relatives and friends.

Sieg is preceded in death by his parents; his wife Arlene, his brothers Ted and Ivan, his sister Tillie and his daughter Gail.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Sieg's name to a charity of your choice.

The family of Siegfried Martin wishes to thank the staff of Cheam Village for the outstanding care and comfort provided to Sieg during the years he called Cheam Village his home.

A private graveside service will be followed by a public memorial tea to be held at 2:00 PM on October 13, 2017 at the Anglican Church Hall, 6904 Lougheed Hwy, Agassiz.
