It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Karl-Heinz Dressel, who left us peacefully on December 3, 2024, at the age of 86. Born on February 24, 1938, in Marktredwitz, Germany, Heinz embarked on a new journey when he moved to Canada in the 1950s, embracing his new home with quiet strength and determination.
Heinz was a man of few words, known for his stoic nature, quiet pride, and deep sense of duty to those he loved. He had a passion for technology and found joy in its constant evolution, always curious and eager to learn. Yet, above all, his greatest love was for his family.
Heinz is survived by his sisters Annamarie and Hannelore; his children Timothy (Simone) and Louise (Elia); his cherished granddaughters Jordan (Jesse), Christine and Lorelei; his beloved great-granddaughters Adelaide, Charlotte and Holland. He was predeceased by his wife Pamela and his brother Fritz.
In honoring Heinz’ memory, we remember a life lived with dignity, resilience, and devotion. He will be dearly missed but forever held in our hearts
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Alzheimer’s Canada.
