Obituary Overview
Yvon Euclide Godard
With family by his side, Euclide Yvon Godard, beloved husband of the late Susan, passed away at Action Marguerite.
Euclide is survived by children Barry (Eileen), Martin (Jennifer), Paul (Tara), and Theresa (Mark); numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren and sister Sherryl. Along with his wife, he was predeceased by his daughter Rhona, son-in-law Gerry, grandson Jarod, great granddaughters Julie and Tilson.
Euclide was a veteran of World War II, enlisting at age 16 in the Canadian Artillery serving in Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Over the years, he had a variety of jobs including working at Canada Post, Union Carbide, and Sacred Heart Parish and School.
Our Dad was a hardworking, honest and steadfast person. He appreciated the simple pleasures in life like a bowl of ice-cream, Mom’s deserts or eating rhubarb from his garden. He enjoyed watching the Jets and Habs or the Blue Jays and Cubs.
He was an avid reader of novels and Westerns and would read the Winnipeg Free Press from front to back every day. He had a great sense of humor that bordered on the corny side and was a positive influence in our everyday lives. He valued his family and his country.
Euclide cherished his wife of 71 years and had truly authentic and unassuming relationships with his children and grandchildren. He encapsulated the true meaning of the phrase, « good people ».
If the “eyes are the window to your soul” is true, you would only see love and kindness in our father/grandfather’s eyes. To know him was to love him, and everyone did!
A private memorial service will be held in accordance with his wishes.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Euclide’s favorite charity, Covenant House.
