Obituary
STEVEN MICHAEL HOURIE
It is with loving hearts we say goodbye to Steven who passed away with his children, mother and sister by his side on the afternoon of August 4th, 2021, at the Health Science Center in Winnipeg. He was 46 years of age.
Steven was born September 14th, 1974, in Selkirk where he grew up and went to school, graduating from the Lord Selkirk Comprehensive. Steven was a kind soul and will be missed by everyone who knew him. He loved Pearl Jam, baseball, The Simpsons, his favorite fighter Muhammad Ali and anyone who knew Steven, knew he loved his cats. Steven loved spending his days fishing, playing baseball, rooting for the Blue Jays and sharing his loving light with family and friends.
Steven will be deeply missed by his very best friend and confidant Angela Peterson. They both have beautiful souls and were amazing companions.
Steven’s spirit lives on through his family; his mother Linda Sinclair; his children Alicia and Kobe Kohinski, their mother Rita; his sister Stacey Hourie; his nieces and nephews Darren, Karrissa, Brandy, Tyson, Aaron, Zakhari, Julia; his great-nieces and nephews Jaxyn, Leo, Charlotte, Avagail, Dreighton, Loveena.
Steven had a special bond with niece Julia. ‘Uncle’ carried her picture around in his wallet, wrote to her, kept every little thing she gave him and constantly was asking how she was doing and when was she going to visit.
Steven will be missed by his Auntie Dianne, numerous cousins and especially his extra special cousin Kelly Kachkowsky or ‘Kelly Mo’ as he always called her.
Steven’s spirit will be greeted by numerous friends, relatives, aunties, uncles, grandmother and grandfather. His Uncle Bill will most certainly be waiting with a big, ‘Ahhh, just the right one!’
Steven had many trials and tribulations over the years. He battled his addictions, overcame obstacles and was sober for nine months. His dear friend Angela whom he would credit for helping him at his darkest time was always by his side. His family was proud of his sobriety and Steven was on the right track, but his body had taken another path. Steven told his children he would visit them as a ball of energy floating around.
The family would like to thank all of Steven’s friends for all their love and support. Extra thanks to staff at HSC, nurse Maria and all the doctors for their care. Thanks to all those who donate blood, your contributions are appreciated.
Funeral services will be held on August 10th, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. at Gilbart’s Funeral Home with the interment following at The Old Stone Church. Outdoor potluck to be at his mother Linda’s.
Due to covid restrictions it will be a private memorial service. All are welcome to attend the interment.
