It is with deep sorrow and sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Irvin Edward Ziegeman, born August 3, 1934 in Sturgeon Valley, Saskatchewan and died June 1, 2021 at the age of 86, he passed peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones in Dawson Creek, British Columbia.

Irvin married his soulmate and bride Martha Marie Lagoutte (Ziegeman) July 27, 1957 in Prince Albert Saskatchewan, they achieved 63 years of marriage and built a life full of love and adventure with their three children; Mona Marie, Darryl Wayne & Landra Mae; six grandchildren, Teela Renee, Grayson John, Jasta Kim, Telsa Martha Jean, Jorey Irvin & Dawson James, plus seven great-grandchildren, Tyla Marie, Kian Alexander, Krew Christison Kim, Sydney Isabella, Maddox Frederick, Tayson Darryl Allen, & Huntley Irvin.

We as a family are deeply saddened by the loss of such an amazing man, Irvin loved to be in nature, he was an avid explorer and held deep respect for the land. He passed on this love by sharing many great adventures with his family and friends.

He was one of the greatest story tellers around and his laugh was infectious, but it was his deep love for his wife that is hard to forget. He forever referred to Martha as his bride and true love, he would speak of her with a sparkle in his eye even if he was sitting right next to her holding her hand.

Irvin you are missed deeply, rest now, in peace, in love, and in the comfort that your memory and legacy lives on today and always.
