August 24, 1946 – June 11, 2026

Attila (Matt) passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by family, on Thursday June 11, 2026, at Selkirk Hospital.

He was predeceased by his parents Mathias and Helene and his stepdaughter Stacey.

He is survived by his partner of 31 years, Venetta, his two daughters Laura (Eric) and Christina (Errol); his 2 stepsons Paul (Kristy) and Billy (Judy); his 4 grandchildren Avery (Jennifer), Joshua, Aliya and Rowen, 11 step grandchildren Tyler, Richard, Renee (Craig), Codie, Dylan, Hunter, Kael, Autumn (Tim), Garnet, Marissa and Ethan, 1 great grandchild Nola and 3 step great grandchildren Lexis, Tucker and Ash. His brother Leslie and sister Maria (Jimmy) and many nieces and nephews.

Matt worked for the Manitoba Lotteries and Liquor Commission for most of his adult life. He was an avid outdoorsman, he loved quadding all year long, snowmobiling in the winter, boating, fishing and camping in the summer. He finally retired out in Winnipeg Beach and couldn’t have been happier. Dad was happiest when he was with family and friends, the more the merrier.

There will be a Celebration of Life at his home, 503 Silverdale Ave, Winnipeg Beach MB, on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 2pm.

We would like to extend our thanks to the wonderful palliative care doctors and nurses at Selkirk Hospital that took such good care of Matt.

Any donations can be made to Cancer Care Manitoba.
