Don (Donald) Pawlowich
August 14, 1934 – June 18, 2021
It is with heavy hearts our family announces the peaceful passing of our Dad, Grandpa/Papa, Great Grandpa Don with his daughter Donna holding his hand.
Left to celebrate his life is his wife of 65 years Shirley, son Keith (Betsy) of Ogden, Utah and their daughters Anna (Nik) and sons Benjamin and Oliver, Laura (Allesandro), Celia (Sam), daughter Donna Beales (Craig), granddaughter Sydney (Kevin), son Mitch granddaughter Kelly (Erik) all of Winnipeg.
Also surviving Don is his stepbrother John Kruk (Adele) and sister-in-law Pat Kubik. and many nieces and nephews.
Dad was preceded in death by his parents Nestor and Mary (Chymy) Pawlowich and Mary (Obszarski) Pawlowich., his sister Irene and her husband Michael (Max) Labchuk.
Dad was born in Winnipeg and raised in Broad Valley and Fisher Branch and settled in Winnipeg after he and mom were married June 30, 1956.
Dad and mom shared many passions in life, their love for their children, extended family, friends and travel. Camping and fishing with their greatest life long friends Edna and Murray Brown and family was always a hi-light!
Road trips out West, the East Coast, Alaska to California to Texas and the favorite yearly trip to see Keith and his family in Utah.
Dad was a long haul driver with 40 plus years at Motorways and loved the open road. As kids we could never understand how he would drive all week and still want to drive more to take us on a weekend road trip.
At retirement time dad and mom built the cabin in Lac du Bonnet that would be their permanent residence for 26 years. For years they were Snowbirds in Texas in the winter and Lake life in the summer. What a life they enjoyed!
Cremation has taken place and a private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Grace Hospital Emergency Department for their care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Grace Hospital Foundation.
