Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemorySTANLEY BRIAN KRAYNYK It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Stan on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at St. Boniface Hospital. Stan was born on February 12, 1959 in Steinbach and is survived and deeply missed by his two daughters Brittney (Trevor), Adriane (Dan); his sister Elsie (George); his partner Diane and her children Adam, Jason, Amanda (Justin) as well as his nieces Cathy and Jennifer (Jayden and Evan). Stan was predeceased by his parents, Steve and Anne Kraynyk. He spent the first three years of his life on the farm in Arbakka and then moved to Vita which remained his home. Stan worked for the Province of Manitoba Department of Infrastructure and Transportation all of his life and enjoyed hunting, quadding, snowmobiling, working on machines and curling. He was well known in the community for volunteering on the Vita Fire Department, owning and operating his backhoe service and serving one term on the Stuartburn Municipality Council. He also devoted much of his time to various committees. One of his favourite pastimes was meeting the boys for daily coffee but above all family and friends meant the most to Stan. The bond between a father and his daughters could be no greater than what he shared with his girls. His family was extended the last part of his life and was completely fulfilled with his partner Diane and her children. The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the nurses and paramedics at the Vita Hospital and the staff in ICU at the St. Boniface Hospital. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Dr., Steinbach on Friday, March 2, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 200 310 Broadway; Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6.

Thoughts and prayers to you girls during this rough time. There are lots of great memories of your Dad that will help you get through this. I remember him helping us fish from the creek, make us bonfires in the backyard, and even eat the pretend food we'd make in the playhouse.. or at least laugh at us when we brought it to him! I am so sorry for your loss. He'll be watching over you now, making sure you guys are okay. Sending love your way. - Posted by: Brittany Shuwera (Friend of Brittney and Adriane) on: Mar 01, 2012

I never met Mr. Kraynyk, but I'm sure he was a wonderful man. Brittney is a bright, funny and loving woman who I value as both a friend and coworker. Brittney and her sister are a tribute to their Dad as they possess great qualities that were both inherited and cultured by their Dad. All of us at work are thinking of you Brittney at this sad time and we'll be here for you when you get back. - Posted by: Sonya Power (Friend/Coworker of Brittney) on: Feb 29, 2012

Thank you Stanley for the many memories you have given me all of which bring a huge smile to my face. I remember spending a whole day snowmobiling with you through Dominion City and all the various trails, along with the few golf games we had. Thank you for those days. Popinki mushrooms will always be linked to cow saliva, thanks for that memory. You are gone but not forgotten. - Posted by: Nigel Ramjohn (Friend) on: Feb 29, 2012
