Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryIAN MOORE MORROW
It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Ian Morrow on January 8, 2024, at the age of 90 years.
Ian will be forever remembered by his sons, David (Lena) and Douglas (Teresa); grandchildren, Geoffrey (Dayna), Hannah (Florent), Dylan (Maddy), Stewart, and Paige (Brett); great-grandchildren, Louie and Charlotte; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Doreen (2021) and their cherished son Geoffrey (1984).
Ian had to grow up quickly. He had lost both parents by early adulthood, before contracting polio during the epidemic of the early 1950s, where he spent the better part of a year in the King George Hospital. With the help of his soon-to-be wife Doreen and her family, he recovered and still managed to complete his medical training.
His career was very important to him, but he would be uncomfortable to have his achievements define him. Simply put, his contributions in the field of diagnostic imaging and decades training many of today’s radiologists stands on its own merit. It was however more important that it gave him the opportunity to provide a home to nurture his family and entertain friends.
Ian was a great source of knowledge. Family and friends often sought him out for advice. He freely gave it, never preached, calmly explained, and always dosed with an appropriate amount of humour.
Ian and Doreen lived a quiet life during their final years, helping each other through their physical issues. They both knew what the future held and planned their lives accordingly. The more difficult it became for them, the more determined they were to persevere. This inner strength enabled them to stay in their family home together. Neither of them could walk and hadn’t been able to for several years, yet Ian remained Doreen’s primary caregiver until her passing.
Dedicated and supportive, humble, and determined, that is how we will remember Ian Morrow.
A gathering in his honour will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, we would like to suggest that donations be made in Ian’s name to the Winnipeg Foundation - Geoffrey C. Morrow Memorial Fund, to benefit disadvantaged children.

Dr Ian Morrow was a role model physician, hard-working, dedicated and competent. As a fledging medical student in the late 1960’s, I was in awe of Dr Morrow’s knowledge and abilities as a diagnostic and angiographic medicine; as he confidently practised his craft, I absorbed a great deal from him as did many of my peers, some of whom went to successful careers in Radiology (Rigby, Murray…). We are all indebted to our highly skilled mentors, among whom is numbered Dr Ian Morrow, May he RIP. - Posted by: Rudy Ramchandar MD (Former medical student of Dr Morrow) on: Jan 15, 2024

My Uncle Ian was an amazing man and as the obit says, a most humble person. Too many memories to mention so I will just add that I'm sure after reuniting with Auntie Doreen a few laughs will be shared with my Dad Jim (Ians brother). - Posted by: Bruce Morrow (Nephew) on: Jan 13, 2024

I visited with Ian just before Christmas and as always appreciated his insights about the world state of affairs and that church. We always ended with a prayer. Such a kind wonderful, sensitive man who loved his wife Doreen and missed her intensely. Ian will be missed by me and his congregation at St. Andrew’s River Heights United Church. My thoughts and prayers are with his family who will miss him the most and all who loved and knew him. - Posted by: Rev. Karen Lumley (Minister) on: Jan 13, 2024
