February 8, 1957 – August 26, 2024

After a hard-fought battle with cancer, Terry passed on August 26/24.  He leaves behind his wife of nearly forty years, Annette, his daughters Raye-Leigh, Genevieve (Kris), Amanda (Kyle) & Harlyn (Jordan), three grandsons & six granddaughters.  He was predeceased by his parents Tom & Vickie. 

He was a bear of a man with big hands & a huge heart that had a soft spot for the downtrodden and seriously ill children.  Generous & loyal, his family & friends knew he could always be counted on.  He was happiest when his kids & grandkids would visit & inevitably stay for dinner.

 Terry loved hockey (especially the after-game banter & pranks), travelling, movies, his buddy Max (his dog who predeceased him by one week), and Elvis Presley.  He always made an effort to stay in touch with his many friends from school, hockey & work.  He was proud of his 27 year career as a Winnipeg policeman yet he was truly in his element when he was behind the wheel of a combine, tandem or his Escalade.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 2:00 p.m., at the Selkirk Community Church, 6569 Provincial Trunk Highway 9, Saint Andrews, MB. R1A 4E6

Honorary pallbearers are his sons-in-law Kris, Kyle & Jordan, grandsons Chase, Nikolas & Brayden, his cousin Johnny Morgoch and longtime friends Bruce Romaniuk, Andy Monostori & Ed Gluting.  A huge thank- you to the staff at Cancer Care & Emergency at Selkirk Health Centre and to Dr. Peter Bialy for tending to Terry’s comfort & well-being over the years.  If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, 533A-715 McDermot Avenue, Wpg. MB. R3E 1M6.

July 9, 1950 – June 19, 2024

The family of Terry Wilson is sad to announce his passing on Wednesday, June 19 in Gimli, Manitoba.

Terry is survived by his mother Florence, Aunt Ruth, Brother Dale (Sue), nephews Rob and Evan (Brittney) and their mother Carol. Niece Mindy-Rae (Drew) and great-nephew Holden. Children Haley and Shaun, grandchildren Janessa, Griffin, Skylar and son-in-law Jamie. Sue’s children Jessica, Sara, and Davis. He is predeceased by his father Bob and Brother Jim (Carol).

Born in Rathwell Manitoba, the family moved to Winnipeg when Terry was 8. At 18 he started working in the maintenance department at CBC and earned his electricians license. This led to a remarkable career broadcasting the Olympics, Pan-Am Games, Grey Cups, NHL, Briers, Scotties and other sporting events from all corners of the world. His broadcasting colleagues were a second family to him. He was humble yet highly regarded. One of his colleagues stated “Terry was the closest thing we have to a legend in our industry.”

Terry cherished his home on the Sandy Hook Golf Course and enjoyed a quiet retirement. He made weekly visits to Winnipeg to take his mom and Aunt Ruth to appointments, shopping and lunch. He loved golfing, playing cribbage, and watching Jets and Bomber games with his best friends Sam and Karla. He took pride in his house and yard, his annual Christmas display showcased his love of the season. He took a short vacation down south annually but ensured he was back in time to help Byron and Pat get the golf course ready for the season. His life was about helping others.

Above all else, Terry valued his independence and quiet lifestyle which was unfortunately taken from him in the final 18 months of his life. His struggle is over, he is at peace. The family is grateful for all the kindness and care he received at the Gimli Hospital.

He requested no ceremony. Instead, he wanted his friends to remember him fondly while playing cards, golfing, at a family BBQ or watching curling/football/hockey. Toast him as you hit your tee shot on the 5th hole.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Dialysis Unit at the Interlake Eastern Health Foundation, iehf@ierha.ca

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
Forever In Our Hearts

Sadly after a lengthy illness, Terry passed away at the Pinawa Hospital at the age of 78. Terry will be survived by his son Jay, brother Ted (Judy), brother Jeffrey (Diane) nieces, April (James), Amber (Jeff), Jessica, and nephew Wayne, great nieces Mallory and Ariel.

Terry retired to Lac du Bonnet where his passion for boating, fishing, and gardening brought him so much happiness. His lifelong love for his fur family brought him joy daily. He loved having company over camping and the visits around his camp fire so often, always being the life of the party. He was a music buff who loved his dancing.

The family wants to thank his dear friend Emily who gave Terry so much care & attention during his illness. You were his angel Emily.

The family also thanks Dr. Bruneau and nursing staff @ Pinawa Hospital for their care. Terry will now be with his mother, father and sister Pam as he journeys into Heaven. God bless you Terry, peace be with you.

At Terry’s request no official service will be held. Cremation has taken place. He will be honored and remembered at a private family gathering.

April 20, 1935 – June 8, 2022

Theresa (Terry) Kiesman, Loving Wife, Mom, and Nan passed away on Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at Riverview Health Center after a brief but courageous battle with Pancreatic Cancer.

Theresa is survived by her daughters, Faye (Al), Cindy (Ken); daughter-in-law Sheila; eight grandchildren, Janet (Phil), Laura (Kent), Zach (Ashley), David (Mikaila), KC (Patrick), Matthew, Isaac, and Marguerita (Matt); six great-grandsons Euan, Noah, Colby, Danny, Zaden and Cameron; sister Maryanne (Don), brother Emil and numerous in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 65 years, Raymond and most recently, her only son Melvin (Mel).

Theresa was born in Wakaw, Saskatchewan and eventually moved to Winnipeg where she met the Love of her Life and Soulmate, Ray Kiesman. In addition to being an avid sports fan of the Blue Bombers and Winnipeg Jets, Mom loved Bingo and was quite lucky at winning. At formal Celebrations, Mom & Dad would dance in sync with rhythmic steps that was a joy to watch. She was a woman of many talents – sewing, knitting, crocheting, gardening, cooking, and baking. Although Mom made a career at various Sewing Factories, many relatives and friends were blessed with her talents as she created clothing, winter coats, many bridal & bridesmaid dresses, newborn baby clothes and blankets. Mom had a green thumb and would proudly show the flower gardens she created. In retirement to Matlock, Dad & Mom would grow incredible vegetable gardens – then give away most of the harvest. No one will ever make cabbage rolls, perogies, butter tarts, or dessert pies the way Mom did. After moving back to Winnipeg in the later years, Mom & Dad would host many Christmas dinners for family and whoever else showed up – there was always enough food and a place to sit. After Dad passed, she spent her last years living at St. John’s Haven where she made many friends such as Ardith and Pat who helped us immensely take care of her in her last months & weeks.

Thank you to the Staff of Cancer Care, St. Boniface Hospital and Riverview Health Center for their incredible care and compassion during her illness. A private family gathering will take place in September where she will be laid to rest with Dad at Chapel Lawn.

If you wish, make a donation to a charity of your choice in her name, or perhaps simply plant a flower in her memory.
