Leif Boye Larsen was born in Denmark on
March 8, 1945 to Anna and Erik Larsen. At the
age of 12 he came to Canada with his parents,
brother and sister. In 1967 he married Linda and
they were blessed with 3 children. He excelled
at his job of being an electrician and achieved
a Masters. Leif loved horses, reading, country
living, and long drives through the countryside
exploring antique shops. His sense of humour
was renowned for being quirky and full of
puns and his short horse-back rides for their
untimely length.
Leif was preceded in death by
his parents; Anna and Erik and brother-in-law
Holga. He is survived by Linda, wife of 52 years;
his children: David(Laura), Suzanne(Deon),
Lisanne(Sean); his grandchildren and great
grandchildren; his brother Ernie(Gertrude),
and sister Margit.
Leif passed away at
Black Diamond Hospital the morning of
January 28, 2022 at the age of 76. His faith
and love for Jesus gave him peace, comfort
and hope.
