I got to know Erv when he first got involved in the Battle River\u2014Crowfoot Conservative EDA, and we quickly became friends. Erv's friendship was impactful on the lives of everyone he knew. Anyone who knew him knew he lived in the fast lane. That included tractor pulls, motorbikes and airplanes, but in the midst of that he always demonstrated the love of Christ. He could be counted on to make time for those in need, no matter how busy he was. He always stood up for what is right, and he had a work ethic few could keep up with.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6878560\" data-originallang=\"en\">To Sandra, Micah and Kayla I extend my deepest condolences as they grieve. I thank them for sharing Erv with us. The world could certainly use many more like him. My friend Erv is missed, but his impact will not be forgotten.</p>",

Rabbit, comme l'appelaient mes enfants, a montr\u00e9 au cours de ses presque 61 ann\u00e9es de vie que chaque personne peut avoir une incidence positive dans la vie des autres. J'ai fait connaissance avec Erv la premi\u00e8re fois qu'il a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l'association de circonscription conservatrice de Battle River\u2014Crowfoot et nous nous sommes rapidement li\u00e9s d'amiti\u00e9. Erv a eu un impact dans la vie de tous ses amis. Tous ceux qui le connaissaient savent \u00e0 quel point il vivait intens\u00e9ment. Il adorait les comp\u00e9titions de tracteurs, les motocyclettes et les avions. Toutefois, dans tout cela, il a toujours su d\u00e9montrer l'amour du Christ. On pouvait compter sur lui pour donner de son temps aux personnes dans le besoin, peu importe \u00e0 quel point il \u00e9tait occup\u00e9. Il d\u00e9fendait toujours ce qui est juste et avait une \u00e9thique de travail que peu pouvaient \u00e9galer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6878560\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 exprimer mes plus sinc\u00e8res condol\u00e9ances \u00e0 Sandra, \u00e0 Micah et \u00e0 Kayla. Mes pens\u00e9es les accompagnent dans leur deuil. Je les remercie d'avoir partag\u00e9 Erv avec nous. Le monde serait certainement meilleur s'il existait plus de gens comme lui. Mon ami Erv nous manque, mais nous n'oublierons pas l'incidence qu'il a eue dans notre vie.</p>"
