It is with deep sadness and immense love that we mourn the passing of our 'mountain man' Joseph Keresztesi, a truly unparalleled human being. After several health challenges, this tough tough man passed away on June 22nd, 2023 at the age of 64.  He will forever be missed by his loving wife Kathryn, and his children Kate and William, and sister Kathy.

Over the years Joe had many fantastic adventures from the back of his horse in the Kananaskis Country, surrounded by his family and camping buddies.  He also found great joy in his regular poker games with his awesome junior high school buddies.  Joe was just the most loving, dedicated and kind husband, dad and friend and will be missed so so very much.

Thank you to the incredible Dr. Alain Tremblay, his clinic team and Unit 61 staff. for all the amazing support and care to our Joe.  Thank you as well to remarkable Dr. Remo Panaccione for his amazing support and care.
