Obituary of Calvin Hogg

Calvin Harold Hogg

April 12, 1962 – March 20, 2025

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Calvin Harold Hogg, who left us after a brief but devastating illness early in the morning on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at the age of 62.

Calvin is survived by his loving wife, best friend, and soulmate, Christine, as well as his brother and sister-in-law, Curtis and Barb Hogg, and sister and brother-in-law, Marge and Darrin Gausvik. He is also mourned by his beloved nieces and nephews: niece Caitlyn Zabrick and husband Wayne, and their daughters Emma and Kaylae, nephew Wacey Hogg and fiancé Amanda Schweigert, niece Sawyer Newby and husband Dillon, and their son Tate, niece Taylor Hogg and fiancé Bradley Link, niece Cassidy Bogstie and fiancé Alex Nielson, as well as sister-in-law Mona Forster, sister-in-law Lesley Forster, and nephew Austin Forster. Calvin’s extended family, many close friends, and the local community will miss him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Corrine Hogg, his brother Darcey, his late wife Sonya, parents-in-law Bob and JoAnn Forster, and brother-in-law Michael Forster.

Calvin was a gentle giant, known for his love and devotion to his family and friends. An excellent host, he cherished entertaining at his home with Christine, especially around the firepit, in their house, or in the infamous mancave. He had a longstanding passion for the Sedgewick Ag Society, where he served as president for many years and played a vital role in the success of the chuckwagon races and other events in Sedgewick.

A Memorial Service to celebrate Calvin’s life will be held on Friday, March 28, at 2:00 p.m. at the Killam Community Hall.

A private family burial will take place earlier that day.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the Sedgewick Ag Society, the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice.
