October 8, 1957 – August 3, 2024
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Kevin Glen Farncombe, who left us on August 3, 2024, in Winnipeg at the age of 66. Born in Portage La Prairie, Kevin spent his life appreciating the pleasures of family and friends.
Kevin was raised in High Bluff working alongside his family at Farncombe’s General Store. At the age of 18, Kevin ventured out west to Alberta where he built a meaningful career in the oil and gas industry for 45 years.
Kevin is survived by his loving wife, Brenda; his son, Brandon (Lindsay); his daughter, Haley; his dog, Nova; his brother, Grant (Heather); his sister-in-law, Joan; and his uncle and aunt, Gerald and Georgina, along with many more nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Kevin was predeceased by his parents, Gordon and Jean, and his brother, Craig.
Kevin had a passion for golfing, spending time with his friends, traveling, and enjoying the company of Nova. He also cherished his time at the cabin, where he found comfort and peace. Kevin’s enthusiasm for these activities was infectious, bringing joy and excitement to those around him.
Kevin’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His warmth, enthusiasm, and zest for life will be fondly remembered and deeply missed.
In honor of his final wishes, the family will mourn his loss privately.
Family and friends are invited to share memories and condolences on Kevin’s memorial page using the comment field below.
Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss of Kevin. Our thoughts are with all of Kevin’s family during this very sad and difficult time.

Brenda I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. My deepest condolences to you and you family.
Condolences to Brenda, Brandon, Haley, Grant and Heathe. We have alot of memories from Hockey Days, Slow Pitch Days, Golf Days and the time spent in Tornado’s. The one memory that will stay with us is Kevin doing a little dance in Nash’s swimming pool in our back yard and Nash looking at Doug as if to say “Papa your friend is crazy”. It is hard to believe that was only a week and a half ago. Danny will be sure to have a drink on yours and his birthday (October 8) and remember the crazy wrestling matching between you two. Rest easy Farmer we will always remember you.
My condolences to Kevin’s family. Although I’m a few years older, I remember him from High Bluff School, and going to their store. Keep the special memories close to your heart and let them ease the pain through this difficult time.
Rest in peace Kevin
You were a great friend to many and will be missed dearly..

Condolences Brenda and Family. A few years have passed since I last saw Kevin and you but it feels like yesterday. Kevin and I grew up together playing hockey and hanging out and doing bottles at the store in High Bluff and I’ll never forget our times and hijinks together. He and the Farncombe Family were a large influence on who I grew up to be. He will be remembered as a dear friend.
