Terrence John Onishko

August 7, 1960 – April 23, 2024

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Terry, aged 63 years, at the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, after a long hard fought 10 year battle with leukemia.

He is predeceased by his mother Bernice (2018) and his father John (2000). Survived by his sisters Sandra (Dennis) and Tracy, nephews Brad (Sals) Kozoway, Michael (Kayla) Kozoway, niece Kaylin (Joel) Makara, and life companion Sherry Ammeter of 38 years.

Terry’s final place of employment was with ABCO Supply Company in which he really enjoyed. His true passion was sports, especially The Winnipeg Jets and The Green Bay Packers.

Terry will be lovingly remembered for his kind and caring ways along with his amazing sense of humor that brought much joy to all that knew him always. Some very fun and memorable times were had with him. A great guy all around and much loved by many.

Special thanks to Dr. Yang & Staff at Cancer Care and St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit for all their care and compassion.

Cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held as per his wishes. A private family interment will be held at a later date.

Rest in Peace Dear Brother

    To Sherry and family my most heart felt condolences go out to you all. I had the pleasure of working with Terry at ABCO for many years. He was always laughing and joking with everyone and was an excellent employee. I always enjoyed our conversations and the numerous stories he had. I am very saddened that you were taken way to soon. Till we meet again in that great big tool crib in the sky. Rest in peace Terry.
