Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOHN KOSA June 20, 1964 - August 2, 2018 Our beloved husband, father, and brother was suddenly called home by God on August 2, 2018. He was predeceased by parents, Evelyn and Albert Kosa, brothers, Richard and Greg, and grandparents. He leaves behind his wife Elzbieta, son Steven and daughter Anna; his siblings: Don Kosa, nephews, Michael and Evan, niece Alisa; sister Mary Ann (Kevin) Sorenson; nieces, Jennifer and Raven with their families; sister Therese (Michael) Brown; niece Lauren, nephews, Aaron, Darryll, Taylor and David; brother Eddy (Lindsey) Kosa, nephews, Joel (Carly), Mason (Leah), niece Klara; sister-in-law Maureen Kosa, and many extended family members and friends. John was a man of deep Catholic faith, a defender of life. He was a loving husband, overjoyed and honoured to be a devoted father; he was so blessed to have 15 years of marriage. He wanted to be around the family gatherings and was ready to help anyone. He was a wonderful listener accepting and perceptive. He made people laugh just when things looked grim, and he was very witty. He loved to converse with people, to understand them and to make them feel respected. He was humble and real. He was a very tender hearted, forgiving gentleman. Going to church as a family was his joy. But he had a loud voice when playing sports. He especially loved cycling, skiing, soccer, and he played recreational hockey twice a week and he was a Jets fan. He loved family vacations. He loved throwing the ball with his children and loved taking them out biking, to the beach, park, and to see their concerts and recitals. He loved music; his favourite band was Rush and he got to see them live in concert. He loved live concerts of any kind, especially when his children were performing. He loved nature and just to sit and look at a lake gave him joy. He worked at Standard Aero as a Quality Inspector for many years and enjoyed the people he worked with. We love you so much John, Daddy. We will see you again. For now, may your soul delight as you see God face to face. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, August 14 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Vital Roman Catholic Parish, 1629 Pembina Hwy., with interment to follow in Fort Garry Roman Catholic Cemetery, 826 Crescent Dr. In lieu of flowers, any donations may be made to Go Fund Me page: "John Kosa Memorial Fund" for Steven and Anna's future. Thank you for your support and prayers.

John has been a kind and loving friend to us and an excellent role model for our children over the years. A loving husband and father, he always extended the warm hand of friendship and hospitality to us, alongside his dear wife Ela. We always have had good times getting together as families and letting the kids swim at the beach or play at the park together, or just "hang out" with the kids. John was always there to take the kids out to play some soccer, or throw the baseball around, or even fly a remote control airplane! He always knew how to play and have a good time- we often teased him about being a big kid, but he knew the importance of finding and pursuing the simple joys of life. And he would often bring others in to share the fun. But he had a deep and thoughtful side, too, and it was always great to get into discussions about the deeper things in life, and hear his unique perspective. Knowing him has been such an honor and a pleasure. What a warm and genuine person! His children and his wife and family will miss him so much, I know- and so will we. God bless you John, we love you. - Posted by: Godwin and Maria (Friends) on: Aug 13, 2018

John, I have many life stories from playing Lego together to fighting, from going to Grand Beach together as kids with the family to riding snowmobiles just the two of us. It was all amazing and fantastic and I wouldn't change a moment of it. Our life experiences make us the people we are, so you brother I'm sure she anybody could tell you had a fantastic life because as we can all see, you are a fantastic person. You have left a hole in my soul by leaving, but perhaps time will help to heal that hole, right now it is being filled with tears. I can't say I know why you were taken away from us so fast at such a young age, possibly you were simply sent from heaven to do one special thing and we may not be aware of it yet and we may never be but on that day, you achieved God's goal for you, whatever it was. Thank you John, you have made life better just by being you. I know you were trying to make it home to Ella one last time and let her know it would all be ok, but God needed you home. You will be missed more than you could ever know. Please kiss Mom and Dad for me. - Posted by: Therese Brown (Sister ) on: Aug 11, 2018

Played hockey with John since 1989 and was a good friend on the ice and off the ice. All the guys at Global Hockey on Sunday and Monday’s will surely be missed! Had a blast skating with you bud. Gary and all the guys from Global Hockey. - Posted by: Gary Nazer (Hockey Buddy) on: Aug 11, 2018

We are so sorry to hear of John's passing at such an early age. George has fond memories of John in his younger years when they went on trips together. Denny was his children's music teacher (Stephen & Anna). Rest in peace, John. - Posted by: George & Denny Petrycky (Friend) on: Aug 08, 2018
