Gary Wayne Dueck

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Gary on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at Rossburn, MB at the age of 61 years.

Gary is remembered by his loving children, Tyler, of Oakville, MB., Chantel of Winnipeg, MB. Carson of Oakville, MB. and step-son Ashton McCarthy of Portage la Prairie.; his mother Elsie Dueck of Altona and siblings Ron of Altona, Brian (Donna) of Kitamat, B.C., Jim (Laurie) of Altona, Joel (Michelle) of Craik, SK.,, Pauline (Glen) Friesen of Altona and Tom of Altona, MB as well as numerous nieces and nephews aunts and uncles.  Gary was predeceased by his father Jacob Dueck of Altona and grandparents Jacob and Sarah Dueck and Abram and Marie Hiebert.

Gary loved the outdoors.  His greatest enjoyments were hunting, fishing and camping with his family.  He especially loved being in his boat and after a full day of fishing, enjoying his haul with a cold beer in his hand around the campfire telling stories. He loved his power vehicles and most of the time when Gary was home, he could be found out in his garage with the door wide open for anyone to stop in, tinkering on his various “Toys”. He could also be found polishing his truck a lot of the time.  Family called it his ”Baby”

Gary was a hardworking man all his life, moving away from home at age 16, he got into carpentry.  Anything from roofing, framing, cabinet making, siding, Gary could do it.  Approximately the last 25 years, he had been working at Southport, first starting with Atco-Frontec and then eventually retiring from Allied Wings in August 2017.

Following retirement he decided to sell his home in Oakville where he had lived for approximately 20 years and move up to Rossburn, MB.

The home had been purchased a couple of years prior as his summer getaway as there are many lakes around to satisfy his fishing addiction, and to just enjoy his retirement.  He will be sorely missed by all.

If friends so desire, memorial donations to Manitoba Wildlife Federation, 70 Stevenson Road, Winnipeg, MB. R3H 0W7 would be appreciated..
