It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of our father, husband, brother, uncle and friend, ALBERT BRENT FIRST CHARGER-SHOT BOTH SIDES on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta surrounded by his loving family, at the age of 58.

Albert was born on March 2, 1963, at the Blood Indian Hospital, Cardston, AB., to Alfred Shot Both Sides and Dorothy First Charger. He was raised by his late grandparents, Jim and Annie Shot Both Sides, and by his aunty, Flora Healy.

Growing up, our dad always told stories, whether it be about his adventures on horseback or places that reminded him of his previous experiences. He found a passion in cooking, which he would’ve liked to share with his grandchildren and often spoke of passing on his bread recipe. Albert spent a majority of his working life in Calgary in various job markets but seemed to settle and enjoy the construction trades. His favorite pastimes included watching paranormal shows, constructing new speakers and audio equipment from old stuff and hiking are a few to mention. His bike rides were kind of exhausting but enjoyable and usually we would be gone for hours, but he had a love for the outdoors. He would bring joy to almost every occasion with his sense of humor which was often used to lift the spirits in the room.

Our dad was a hardworking, kind-hearted humorous man who will be deeply missed but not forgotten because of the memories, stories and values he passed onto his children and grandchildren. We will be forever grateful for the fond memories and lessons he leaves behind in each of our unique stories about him.

Albert will be sadly missed by his wife, Helen Many Shots, his daughters, the pride and joys of his life, Miranda (Chad), Tamara, Tara, and Twyla Many Shots, his only baby boy he cherished, Keegan (Britney) Many Shots, and his adopted son Dante Many Shots, his grandchildren that he cares more for than the World, are Lakeisha Darcy, Kaneyen, Keelane, Lakana Senri, Aria, and two more grandbabies on the way, that he was excited to meet, his adopted children, Candice and Misty Many Shots, and Deanna Smith, and godchildren, Harlin and Candice Many Shots
