May 23, 1940 – December 15, 2020
It is with profound sadness that the family of Werner Leybold announce his passing peacefully in his home, on December 15, 2020 at the age of 80.
He will be dearly missed by his son, Sebastian (Laura), and countless friends and family members around the world.
He is predeceased by his loving wife of 57 years (Christa); and son (Christof).
Werner was born in Germany in 1940 and moved to Southwest Africa in 1956 at the young age of 16, where he accepted a call to help save a family farm that had fallen upon hard times. It was there that he met and married Christa and their two sons were born. The family emigrated to Canada (Edmonton) in 1980, and later settled in St. Albert in 1986. Werner travelled the world throughout his career in the oilfield, gaining the respect of his peers, and effortlessly making friends wherever he went. Always with a joke on hand, he will be fondly remembered as a friend to many, and a devoted and caring husband and father.
“As young as today, we will never come together again. Prost.”
There is no scheduled Memorial Service but a Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date.
Condolences can be sent directly to Sebastian at [email protected] or 780-445-4327
