Obituary Overview
Kenneth Boitson
With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Ken Boitson on December 7, 2018 at the age of 62, after a very fierce battle with cancer.
Kenny will be forever remembered by his loving wife Donna of 33 years, sons Landon and Jason, brother Garry (Bobbie), brothers-in-law Richard (Svitlana) and Robert, nephew Matthew, niece Nadia and many dear friends and relatives.
He was predeceased and is now reunited with his son Ryan, parents Taras and Margaret.
Kenny was born December 30, 1955 in Winnipeg. He grew up in East Kildonan and attended Kildonan East School. He married Donna (Kwiatkowski) in June, 1985 and together they built their first and only home in East St. Paul where they raised their three sons.
Kenny was employed as a Production Supervisor at Cablevision/Shaw for 25 years where he always had some funny stories to share.
Kenny was a very devoted and loving husband and father. His boys could always rely on him for guidance and support. He was extremely passionate about helping others, enjoyed dabbling in computers, car repairs as well as estate and financial planning. He thoroughly enjoyed planting a garden each spring and sharing his harvest with friends and family.
He had a remarkable gift of always being able to shine through difficult situations with a quick witted joke that always brought laughter. This was especially true as we watched him labour through his difficult battle with cancer.
The family wishes to thank Dr. F. Olynyk for his care, support and understanding as well as the staff at CancerCare. We would also like to thank family and friends for their kindness and compassion over this difficult time and a special thank you to Lynda for preparing her delicious home-made soups for Ken.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 5, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the East St. Paul Banquet Hall, 266 Hoddinott Road, East St. Paul, MB. A private family interment will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ken’s memory to the CancerCare Manitoba, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7 or The Compassionate Friends, 685 William Avenue, Wpg, MB R3E 0Z2.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Kenneth Boitson 2018..
