Earl Stanley Medin
Nov. 20, 1952 – June 12, 2026


It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Earl Stanley Medin on June 12, 2026.

Earl was born on Nov. 20, 1952, in Rocky Mountain House, Alta.

He will be remembered for his quick wit, infectious sense of humour and his genuine love for people. His kindness, generosity and ability to bring laughter to those around him left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Throughout his life, Earl worked in scouting before discovering his true passion as a grader operator. His dedication to his craft eventually led him to establish his own business, Double M Grader Service, where he built a reputation for hard work, reliability and pride in a job well done.
Earl was always willing to lend a helping hand and never hesitated to give his time to those in need. Family was at the center of his life, and becoming a grandfather brought him immense joy. He cherished his grandchildren and took great pride in each of them.

Earl was predeceased by his parents, Stanley (1993) and Irene (2013); his beloved son, Rory Medin (2008); his sister, Mona Medin (2024); his stepsister, Esther (2014); and his parents-in-law, Louie Fisher (2011) and Dell Fisher (2026), and nephew Jayden Evans (2020).

He leaves behind his loving wife of 53 years, Karen Medin; his daughter, Darcee Medin; and his treasured grandchildren, Brandon Menzies, Kasyn Walsh, Christian Medin, Lane Walsh, Colby Walsh, and Kajyn Medin.
Earl is also survived by his siblings, Ed (Millie), Iona (Adrian), Dick (Elaine), Len (Judy), Evan (Jacquie), and Clint (Kathy); his stepsister, Heather; and his brothers- and sisters-in-law, Kim (Calvin), Stuart (Frances), Barb (Rick), Jane (Kirby), and Murray (Corrina). He will also be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

A celebration of Earl’s life was held at Rocky Funeral Home on June 22, 2026.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to STARS in Earl’s memory.

Earl’s laughter, generosity and unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
