Billy Russel Fald of Lacombe, Alberta passed away peacefully on November 1, 2024. Billy was
born in Cranbrook, B.C. on August 31, 1950. The family resided in Milk River until moving in
1966 to the Fourth Creek community in the Peace Country.
Bill earned his carpentry ticket from NAIT in the early 1970’s and worked in Grande Prairie for a
few years. After this time he worked numerous types of jobs including lumber mills and oil patch
construction. In the early 1990’s he moved south to the Lacombe area and worked in feed lot
operations, farming and at a seed/animal feed plant. He retired at 65 but continued to use his
many skills on his home and for family and friends. For a few years he spent many hours
building wooden model trucks, trains, planes and other neat things.
Bill was predeceased by his Mother and Father, Art and Inez Fald. He is survived by his brother
and sisters, Randy Fald, Nevelda Sands, Gwen Travis (Cliff), and their children.
The family wants to thank Bill’s wonderful friends and neighbours who cared about his
wellbeing.
Cremation has taken place and a gathering will be held in the spring in the farming community
where he lived earlier in his life. If you wish to make a donation in memory of Bill, please make it
directly to a charity of your choice.
