Obituary
Douglas Alfred Cox
March 2, 1961 – October 12, 2022
Peacefully with family by his side, Doug passed away at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 25 years Cathy, daughters Cassidy (Tyler), Christina (Ian), his granddaughter Mila, mother Lovina, brothers and sisters-in-law, and his numerous nieces and nephews. Doug was predeceased by his dad Robert, step-dad Michael, brothers Rob and Dennis and sister Barb.
Dad was born and raised in Selkirk where he played numerous sports and made lifelong friends. Dad had just retired this past summer after over 43 years in the Aerospace Industry, completing his career at Boeing. His favourite things to do included camping, golfing, barbecuing and having a few drinks with friends. Mom and Dad were able to enjoy countless trips with each other and play many different golf courses over the years. Dad accomplished many things in his life, but he was most proud of his kids and his granddaughter.
Dad made an impact on every person he met, and he was always bound to run into someone he knew every time he went out. Dad will be missed by every single person he knew, and his passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts. He was the greatest Dad and husband we could have asked for and he will be missed every single day.
We want to thank the incredible nursing staff, healthcare aides and physicians on the surgical ward at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre for being so caring and attentive. Although Dad’s passing was quick, we find comfort in knowing he did not suffer.
A Celebration of Life will take place on October 16th, 2022 at the Selkirk Golf & Country Club from 2-4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honour of Doug to the Canadian Cancer Society directed to Pancreatic Cancer Research.
We love you Dad and we will see you again.
