With heavy hearts, we announce that Bob Downing has passed away on August 20 at the Health Sciences Centre at the age of 69.
He is survived by his brother John (Darlene); children, Adam (Jennifer), Sean (Alison), and Travis; grandchildren, Ava, Claire, Logan, and Diana.
Bob was a generous and caring brother, father, and grandfather. He grew up enjoying the rural life in Charleswood. He was an avid outdoorsman, often talking about his many canoeing, snowshoeing, and ski adventures. He spent most of his career in the printing business and finished his working life at H20 Innovation. Bob was a passionate supporter of both minor and professional sports in Winnipeg.
The family expresses gratitude to Ethical Death Care for their touching photo-biography video honouring Bob's life, accessible later this week through the ‘tributes’ link at the bottom of this obituary.
In accordance with his wishes, cremation will take place at a later date, and a private celebration of his life will be held.

So sorry to hear the news. I met Bob at numerous MWWA Conferences and always had a great chat catching up with him. We had many phone call talks about business and pleasure. Bob was always so easy to get along with and we swapped many stories and had a lot of laughs. He’s going to be missed All my condolences to the family…he was a great man Darcy - Posted by: Darcy Dearsley (MWWA Conferences and at my Water Plant) on: Aug 30, 2024

I got to know Bob over the years through his work with H20 Innovations and his work in the water industry. He had a passion for helping municipalities find solutions to their water issues. But he cared, not just on a professional level, but personally... wanting the best for those he worked with. I will miss our random coffee talks which started as work discussions but would inevitable turn to great conversations about everything else but work! He always had a kind word about everyone, and I loved his deep laugh. Till we meet again Bob! - Posted by: Karly Friesen (friend/ colleague) on: Aug 30, 2024

Our family would like to offer our sincerest condolences. We got to know Rob through his brother John when we first moved to Charleswood. He always treated you with the biggest smile and was always interested in how you were doing. He loved the challenges of outdoor life his schooling provided him with while attending. But more than that he loved his family and especially his grandchildren. We'll miss that big smile and deep laugh. May the fond memories that you created together live on forever within your hearts. - Posted by: Patrick Bend (Friend) on: Aug 27, 2024
