Gerhard Forsen Obituary

We bid farewell to Gerhard Forsen (Duchess, Alberta), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on October 13, 2025 at the age of 91. Gerhard touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Gerhard Forsen to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid Gerhard farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Gerhard is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Hilbert Forsen and Christina Forsen; his son Dale; his brother Art Forsen; and his brother-in-law Art Reiten.

He is survived by: his wife Marit Reiten; his daughter Carolyn Virovec (Les); and his brother Ken Forsen (Jean). He is also survived by several nephews and nieces.

A funeral service was held on Saturday, October 18th 2025 at 2:00 PM at the Thom's Funeral Home and Reception Centre (477 Margaret Ave, Duchess, AB T0J0Z0).

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Diabetes Canada or BAPS (Brooks Animal Protection Society).
