Karl was born to Wayne & Stella Dyck and grew up in Elm Creek Manitoba. He was known for his warmth, a "go above and beyond for others" attitude of deep kindness, strong work ethic and his unwavering love for his family. Karl was a devoted father to Ashton and a loving husband to Jennifer.
Among his many traits was his trademark mischievous laugh and his propensity to tease people that would pull someone into a good mood and share a good laugh. His kindness and thoughtfulness of others was renowned and felt by so many. He will be deeply missed by those that grew to know him well.
Karl loved cars, trucks and anything he could drive. He had a love and a passion for driving He passed his class one driving test with flying colours and his name is still on the wall as a record holder and to this day, no one has broken his record and that was more than 25 years ago. He started his full time career as a trucker, driving for Reimer's Trucking company and drove for them until they were purchased by YRC and then continued to drive for that Company until they closed up shop in 2023. He held many awards over the years and celebrated a Million Miles award with pride. Even after countless years of driving, he still had a clean driver's abstract, which was his second most proud achievement, after his son.
His hobbies included tinkering with cars, helping friends and fishing. He will be deeply missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Tiger Hills Health Center, which gave excellent care and heartfelt consideration to Karl in his stay with them.
