Joseph George Horn

1938-2025

The family are saddened to announce the passing of Joe Horn on August 29, 2025, in Spiritwood, SK. Joe was born May 22,1938, in the Norbury District and shortly after that the family moved to the hills in Mildred, in the Wild Bear District.

Joe worked on the home farm alongside his brother Godfrey. Joe’s nephew remembers Uncle Joe’s initiative in helping on his dad, Jim’s farm. He was willing to give anyone a helping hand whether it be with cattle, seeding, haying or harvesting.

Joe was an energetic worker and learned his skills from working on the farm. Joe loved dealing with cattle, and everyone associated with them. He had a great knowledge of pure-bred horned Hereford’s that he raised under the Crooked Hills Ranch name. He was very fond of the British bloodlines and had many Grand Champion and Reserve Champion trophies, banners and ribbons for his animals. Joe later changed to the polled Herefords. He liked to show his cattle in open classes and sold many bulls. Joe and Isabelle hosted the North-West Tours at their ranch.

Joe loved to dance and could be found at many local dances. This is where he met Isabelle Soucy at the Leoville Hall, and it was love at first sight for both. They were married July 28,1965 and celebrated their 60^th wedding anniversary this past July. From this union came 2 sons, Dale born 1970 and Dean born 1974, Joe was a proud daddy.

Joe was a lifelong member in the Laventure 4H club and was assistant leader of the Mildred club, later Joe became a supporter of the Spiritwood club. He passed his love of 4H along to his sons.

When Joe semi-retired and left the Crooked Hill Ranch he had more time to help other local farmers with cattle and got more involved with the Lions Club, becoming a lifetime member. Joe also enjoyed working and helping people in the lumberyard with his brother-in-law.

Joe’s battle with Parkinson’s and dementia was something he could not win. He was a special man, good husband and great father. You will be missed, rest in peace Joe! Joe’s final resting place is in the Mildred South Cemetery.
