Abe was born in Mexico on February 21, 1955 to Bernhard and Eva Dyck. He was the fourth oldest of thirteen children. Abe, along with his family, moved to Taber in June of 1994 where they started their new life. He spent his early years in Taber working on various farms in the area and after purchasing the Purple Cow Ice Cream Shop in 2009, Abe along with his wife Katharina spent their time scooping ice cream and being valued members of the community. He had a passion for connecting and forming relationships with people and always greeted others with a smile on his face.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the doctors and nurses at the Taber Hospital who provided care for Abe, especially these last few months.
