<div itemprop="description">Kieljan, Jan <br /> <br />December 1, 1945 - May 16, 2013 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Jan Alexander Kieljan, loving father to Jan Jr., Maciek and Pawel. He will be dearly missed by his brothers, Stanislaw and Jurek; sister Ania; their families; his partner Aimee; relatives and friends in Canada, Poland and all over the world. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jan was born in Raclawice, Poland in 1945, and courageously immigrated to Canada in 1989, through Greece, hoping to find a better life for him and his family. He enjoyed his time in Greece immensely, and with the support of great friends he fell in love with Calgary and the mountains that lured him back every winter. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />His passion for sports fueled his life, athletics at a young age where he excelled, and later tennis, cross country skiing, and golf. He was always on the move, willing to learn new things, and teach others. Throughout his life the wellbeing of his family was always his priority, and he sacrificed immensely, always gracefully willing to have a little less to ensure a better future for them. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Family would like to express their appreciation to the staff at the Foothills Medical Centre. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations in Jan&rsquo;s name may be made to the Calgary Health Trust - Foothills Medical Centre, 800, 11012 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, AB, T2J 6A5, Tel: 403-943-0615 www.calgaryhealthtrust.ca . <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.leydens.com .
