It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of “Aj” Alvin John Black Water, 28, on Tuesday February 27 2023 in Lethbridge, AB surrounded by loved ones.
Alvin was born on April 4 1994 in Cardston, AB to Eugene Black Water Sr. And Lucille Black Rabbit, he is survived by his children Layton, Kaia and Bethany Siblings; Jenny, Tiffany(Nico), Eugene Jr and baby sis Linnae, Aunts; Lorraine, Shannon, Winnie Uncle; Albert(Debbie) Nephews; Malachi, Noah and Adonis, Nieces; Harmony, Zahara, Hailey, Sierra, Claire, Melody, Arianna, Aurora and Aria; godparents Mr. & Mrs. Gary Knife.
Alvin attended Saipoyi elementary, Tatsikiisapop Middle school,Kainai high school and Fort Macleod School. While in elementary Aj made his father proud by receiving numerous medals and ribbons in sports and especially when he received 100% attendance and $200 cash, and yes he spent it all.
Alvin was a proud father, brother, son, uncle and friend. Growing up he was babied by older siblings until his baby sister Linnae came along, and then she became his baby, she was his tail up until his teenage years, still keeping in touch often telling her “you’re still my baby sis”, Aj became an uncle at the age 12 , he cherished and enjoyed spending time with all his nieces and nephews especially his late niece Kaia who often stole her uncles hats for herself to wear and whom he named his first daughter after. Aj became a father at the age of 19, Aj loved and cherished all 3 of his children doing everything with them especially his baby girls, along with their mother Kaycee. AJ also enjoyed his BMX bikes which he sometimes adopted parts from Dads bikes with the comment “well you’re my dad” Aj was especially close to his big brother Jr looking up to him literally and figuratively often using the same phrase when visiting him “well you’re my brother” He especially enjoyed his rap music and would be told to turn it down, with the comment from dad “if you don’t stop rappin, we’re gonna start scrappin” From mom; AJ you were my love Child my last born baby. When you were born my heart was filled with so much love. I was there for your firsts; eating ,crawling, walking, talking you were the Joy of my life. When I got you your first bike and you would ride back n forth in front of the townsite house yelling at me “Mom take my picture” “Mom look one hand” and I would say “Baby you use both hands I don't want you to get hurt” and you’d reply “I'm ok mom” you were always telling me that. I'm pretty sure on every phone call or meeting I would hear “I'm OK Mom, You don't have to worry about me” AJ I love you my Baby.
Aj enjoyed spending time with all his cousins and friends whom he took as siblings. Aj leaves his family to reunite with Uncles; Franklin, Kevin, Mike, Darryl and Alvin who he was named after. Maternal Grandparents; Alice, Josephine and Bonney.
Paternal Grandmother; Maryann and, Niece; Kaia Black Water. The family apologizes for any names missed as Alvin had many friends and extended family.
A Wake Service will be held at the Senator Gladstone Hall, Blood Reserve on Sunday, March 12, 2023 from 1:00 - 11:00 pm. The Funeral Service will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Blood Reserve on Monday March 13, 2023 at 11:00 am. Interment will take place in St. Catherine’s Cemetery.
