Alfred Menno Vogt

March 31, 1944 - January 17, 2026

Alfred Menno Vogt, aged 81, passed away peacefully on January 17, 2026 at the Last Mountain Pioneer Home in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan.

Born on March 31, 1944 in Lockwood, Saskatchewan, Alfred was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Suzie Vogt, his brother, Garry, twin brothers who died at birth and his first wife Kathy.

Alfred left his family farm at the age of 17 and moved to Regina, where he began working at a gas station for a short period. He later joined Sears, where he was employed for a few years before continuing his career at the John Deere Warehouse. Alfred took great pride in his more than 30-year tenure with John Deere, where he worked until his retirement.

Alfred married Kathy Gray on August 13, 1966. They shared 30 years of marriage until Kathy’s passing in 1997. Together, they raised two children, Karen (Kerry) and Brian, and were blessed with four grandchildren: Tanner (Emily), Brandon, Maddy, and Aubrey.

He married Muriel Bernaski on April 3, 1999, at which time his family grew to include her children: Jacquie (Gordon), Kim (Randy), and Kenneth (Roxanne). He was also blessed with additional grandchildren—Forbes, Logan, and Tyler.

Alfred always enjoyed sports. When he was younger, he played softball, and later on he loved watching Karen and Brian play basketball. He eventually took up curling and golf and became quite good at both. He also liked playing cards and having people over. Time at the cottage in Kannata Valley was always full of fun and interesting moments.

After retiring, Alfred and Muriel settled in Strasbourg. In the years that followed, Alfred was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which gradually slowed him down. He lived in Ivy’s Care Home in Earl Grey for a short period during the COVID pandemic in 2020 before being transferred to the Last Mountain Pioneer Home in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan, where he remained until his passing.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the home for their kindness and compassion. Their care meant a great deal to Alfred, and he truly felt at home there. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Nicole Heintz and NP Janelle Hubick for the dedicated care they provided to Alfred.

A private family service will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Last Mountain Pioneer Home in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan or a charity, cause or an organization of their choice.
