RIEKENBERG, Chris

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father and hero Chris Riekenberg of Rochester, AB on May 12, 2021, at the tender age of 69. 

After a short yet courageous battle with cancer, Chris leaves behind his daughter Sheila, sons Kelvin, Christian, Konrad, his two granddaughters Skye and Karley, as well as his three foster children Carlisle, Isaiah, and Sage.  Also mourning his loss are his siblings in Germany, Carola, Andreas, and Matthias.

Chris immigrated from Germany in 1975 as a mechanic and then being young and ambitious, decided to open his own printing company known as Print Factory which has served Athabasca and area for over 40 years.

For the past decade, Chris had dedicated his life nurturing and caring for not only his own young children, but also fostering numerous other children in need of a safe and loving home.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

His Lord said to him

“Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord”

Matthew 25:23
