Obituary of Gary Allan Kaquitts

Gary Kaquitts was called home by the Great Creator on Sunday, April 18, 2004. Gary was a quiet, shy, fun-loving person. At the time of his death, he was a student at the Nakoda College, striving for success and education. He took part in the Agricultural Program for three years, and also attended Olds College for a brief time. Gary was an athletic person, participating in sports such as basketball, baseball, volleyball, skiing, bull fighting, camping in the wilderness of Rabbit Lake, and his favorite of all, snowboarding in the beautiful mountains. He would greet you with a smile and fondly respect the Elders with a handshake.
