Roy Clifford Meakings
1941 – 2022
Peacefully on November 28, 2022, Roy went to be with his Lord and Savior. His faith in Jesus was unwavering with complete trust and confidence in God’s word and promises.
Roy was born March 7, 1941 in Beccles, Suffolk, England to Clifford and Evelyn and was the youngest of four boys. He married the love of his life in1965 in England; immigrated to Canada in 1969 where they lived in Winnipeg for the past 40 years. They were blessed with 57 years together and travelled to many different countries and shared many great adventures. Roy had a very loving, giving and caring spirit. He loved going out on adventures and was very aware of his surroundings, pointing out the many details of the beauty that surrounded him. He took so much pleasure going out exploring and enjoyed sharing his life experiences and stories, which were many. He was a strong and gentle giant with a heart of gold.
During Roy’s earlier years he enjoyed sailing, camping in tents, bike riding, gardening, and nature to name a few; and later he attended St. Luke’s Zion Lutheran Church regularly, reading the scriptures daily, listening to gospel music, baking bread, making jam, fellowship at church, weekly bible study, having tea with friends, looking at photos from the past, and going for drives taking in God’s beauty along the way. He was truly an inspiration and his positive nature was infectious which made you want to be a better person. He set the bar high, always putting others before himself, and when able he was always ready to give a helping hand.
Roy leaves to mourn his brothers Derek (Ruth) and Philip (Mim), extended family in England, friends near and far, and Morris & Amanda their beloved cats.
Roy was predeceased by his grandparents, parents, his brother Christopher and recently had suffered the loss of the love of his life Eugenie just this past June.
Roy has left us with many meaningful and happy memories for all who knew and loved him that will last a lifetime, and he will be greatly missed by many and never forgotten.
