Frostad, Gerald Clayton
Gerald Clayton Frostad
Gerald Clayton Frostad went to be with his Lord on Sunday, August 9th, 2020 at West Park Crossing in Moose Jaw, SK.
Gerald was born June 16th, 1927 in Kincaid, SK. He earned his journeyman’s papers in autobody and committed himself to overseeing the family business, Frostad’s Garage, in Kincaid. He married his beloved wife of 67 years, Daisy Velma Jeffery, on June 26th, 1952. They made their home in Kincaid where they raised their eight children. In 2007 Gerald and Daisy moved and spent their retirement years in Caronport, SK. Gerald’s final months were spent at West Park Crossing in Moose Jaw, SK
Gerald was predeceased by his wife, Daisy Frostad; parents, Carl and Lois Frostad; sister, Marjorie Lehmann; sister-in-law, Mary Frostad; brother-in-law, Roger Fixsen; as well as his great-granddaughter Becca Frostad.
Gerald is survived by eight children and their spouses: David (Adeline) Frostad, Carl Frostad (Cecile Corbiere), Claire (Esther) Frostad, Nata (David) Kline, Rhys Frostad, Veleta (Delmar) Klassen, Gary (Pearl) Frostad and Jeffery (Sandra) Frostad; 17 grandchildren, 5 step-grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren and 15 step-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by one brother, Dr. Lloyd Frostad; two sisters, June (Harvey) Sawatzky and Ellen Fixsen; and brother-in-law, Wes Lehmann; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Gerald will be remembered for his strong faith and steadfast trust in his Lord. This defined who he was and what was important to him. Gerald and Daisy faithfully attended the Woodrow Gospel Chapel and later enjoyed the fellowship at Caronport Community Church. They served together as Gideons for 50 years. Gerald will also be remembered for his positive outlook on life and his enthusiastic participation in both sports and musical endeavors. In his earlier years, he excelled in curling, hockey and baseball. Later he excelled at bowling and was a horseshoe champion. He sang in a variety of groups…the Woodrow men’s quartet (which became the Gideon quartet), the Swift Current barbershop choir, and most recently the Caronport Community Church choir. His large vegetable gardens brought him much joy each summer until he was 91 years old, and he loved to share the produce. Finally, Gerald will be remembered for his generosity and kindness as he provided the farming community around Kincaid with equipment, parts, autobody, repairs and gasoline.
The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bell and the caregivers at West Park Crossing for their compassionate care of Gerald in his final months.

Condolences to the family. I was just thinking of Gerald the other day as I was working in my very first garden. He gave me the biggest zucchini one year. I got all my family history lessons from Daisy each week. Your parents/grandparents were very proud and bragged about all of you.

Our deepest sympathy to all the Frostad family. Gerald, You will be missed by all your Horse Shoe friends. It was our pleasure to meet and know you. Blessings to all the family. Jim and Michelle Feeney
Our deepest sympathies go out to all of you. Uncle Gerald was such a kind, gentle, patient person. He always had a twinkle in his eye and was ready for a good laugh (he reminded me of Grandpa in that way). One of our favourite memories of him was your Dad singing so heartily at our family reunion a few years ago. Barry couldn’t get over how strong and clear his voice was. Love to all of you as you grieve the loss of your beloved Dad and Grandpa.
Uncle Gerald was a gentle man and a strong man. He lead by example. Even though I did not see him often I always looked up to him. I’m sure the Lord has told him, “Well done my good and faithful servant”. Loved him & he will be missed.
Our deepest sympathy. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Bruce & Eleanor Durie

THE Squires Family
Our most sincere condolences to the Frostad/Jeffrey families on the home going of both Gerald and Daisy Frostad —I am speaking for the Eliason/Taylor families here, as our memories go back many many years My most recent memory of Gerald was from the day of his wife Daisy’s memorial service. As the family was walking in to Edwards Chapel this beautiful tenor voice broke out in song , singing When He cometh— and of course it was Gerald. This was absolutely beautiful, and I must say a real tear jerker Now he has joined his wife in the place where all of us believers will once again meet our loved ones who have gone before us
To David, Adeline, and families – sending you condolences and virtual hugs as you celebrate the life of your much-loved father and grandfather. Take care.
To Rhys and family my thoughts are with you…
