On Saturday, April 16, our Dad, Edward Brown of Bluff Creek, Manitoba, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 79 years old at the McCreary/Alonsa Personal Care Home.
Dad was born in Bluff Creek on March 5, 1943 to his parents Emily (Bruce) and Edwin Brown. He grew up on the farm, leaving home for several years to work as a carpenter in Portage La Prairie. Dad met our mom (Elaine) in Portage where they married at the age of 19. They began raising their family in Portage La Prairie and moved back to Bluff Creek in 1969 to begin farming. Dad was a dedicated farmer and ice fisherman. Dad’s world revolved around these two passions and what auction sales he would be able to fit into his schedule. Naturally, as a farmer and fisherman, Dad spent most of his waking hours analyzing the weather. He knew the weather now, the weather tomorrow and the weather next week. The weather dictated his livelihood and was the way he began and ended most of his conversations. He was not much of a talker but we could always be guaranteed a weather report when we saw him.
Dad had a stroke in the summer of 2015. He spent most of the summer in the hospital and that fall he was moved to the McCreary/Alonsa Personal Care Home where he has lived since. We are grateful to the staff who took care of him over the last 7 years.
Dad is survived by his son Michael (Karen), Sheila, Tanis (Kevin), son-in-law Glen, grandchildren Kayla, Cole, Adam, Madison, Tanner, Hannah, Abby, Josie, Allison, Spencer and Julia, his brother Donnie, and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents (Emily and Edwin Brown), brothers Albert and Cyril, sister Janet, daughter Sharon, grandsons Carter and Ashton and numerous other brother and sister-in-laws.
Flowers are gratefully declined. Should friends so desire, please consider remembering Edward with a donation to a charity of your choice.
