Mr. Helmut W. Jantz was born September 17, 1939 to Sophie (Flatt) Jantz and William Jantz in Rochester, AB. He passed away peacefully at home with his loving wife and three children on July 22, 2023. After Helmut graduated from Westlock High School in 1958 he went on to study electronics at SAIT in Calgary. Helmut married June (Seiple) Jantz June 12, 1964.
Helmut had a big personality and you never had to guess what he was thinking. He engaged in life to the fullest, always busy, and willing to learn new things. His passion for creating with his hands could be seen in many areas but probably most notably in his pottery and his gardening. Helmut’s life ripples live on in all those who knew him and in his pottery. His hard work ethic, his passion for creating, learning, and engaging in life live on in his children, and grandchildren. Helmut’s Christian faith was foundational to how he lived his life. He came to his faith through reading the bible as an adult. Helmut was very involved in his faith community and many may remember him for this. Helmut had a deep and rich faith with God that grew stronger each day right until the end of his life. His faith is a legacy he has left his children and grandchildren and generations to come.
Helmut is survived by: his wife, June, his three children, four grandchildren, and his brother Eric Jantz. Helmut demonstrated his love for June right up to the end of his life. If you happen to have one of Helmut’s pottery mugs, next time you enjoy your brewed beverage of choice, reminisce and reflect on your special memories of Helmut.
The funeral service for Helmut will be held on August 1, 2023 at 1:00 pm at Westlock Alliance Church, 9607 100 St, Westlock, AB.
