MARC ANDRE BANVILLE Marc Andre Banville, 80, of St. Malo, MB died peacefully May 31, 2014. Marc was born in Otterburne, MB, August 10, 1933, the third son of Albert and Marie-Ange (Roy) Banville of St. Pierre, MB. He was predeceased by his wife and the mother of his six children Claudette Estelle (nee Nault) (1936 - 2000), and second wife Joan (Hudacs) Fisher (1936 - 2005). Marc lived and worked in Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and the Cayman Islands. He started his working life early. At the age of 22 he left Manitoba with his young family to work on the Boundary Dam in Estevan, SK, where he earned the nick name, the Anchor Bolt Kid. Concrete ran through his veins as the rest of his life's work was centered in the construction business. During his life, he owned and managed a number of companies including a concrete finishing business, a moving business, and an excavating company. He worked on many larger projects including South Hill Collegiate, three hospitals in Moose Jaw, Leader and Unity, the Federal Building in Moose Jaw, the Co-op, the Woolco Shopping Centre, and the Regatta Office Buildings in Grand Cayman, to name a few. Dad was a man with strength of character, wisdom, generosity and unwavering devotion to his family. He leaves behind his loving children, Lynda (Jake), Jerry (Erin), Michael (Chrys), Monique (Peter), Louise (Yves) and Marc Jr. to cherish his memory. Beloved grandfather of; Tanner, Wesley, Janelle, Justin (Colleen), Cole, Vanessa, Olivia, Sarah, Nicolas and Conrad. Beloved brother of; Jean (Yvette), Roland (Jeannette), Helene (Adonias 1932-2005), Edouard, Joseph (1936-2004), Claude (Helen), and Marie-Ange (Raymond 1939-2011). The family would like to thank Dr. Nasir, Dr. Reimer and all the palliative care staff and nurses for their compassion and exceptional care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the DeSalaberry District Health Centre, Palliative Care, P.O. Box 320, St. Pierre-Jolys, MB, R0A 1V0. In keeping with Marc's wishes there will be a private Celebration of Life and interment at a later date. The rolling stream of life rolls on, But still the vacant chair, Recalls the love, the voice, the smile Of the one who once sat there. LECLAIRE BROTHERS in care of arrangements, 204-775-2220.

Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

  • I just learned of Marc's passing and my family offer our condolences-such a nice man. We were friends for several years. When Joan died, I adopted one of their poodles. She is now 16.5 years old, sick and it's time. I thought to call and tell Marc but found the obituary instead. 'My girl' has been a great dog, a loving companion and I thank you for letting her spend her life with us. - Posted by: Andrea (Friend of Marc and Joan's in Victoria, BC) on: Apr 27, 2017

  • I was in Rome when I learned of your passing and prayed for you on John Paul II's tomb. I had the pleasure of bidding you my farewells just before leaving and I thank God for having answered your prayers. I know you are now at peace and it is regrettably those that are left behind that weep. You will be missed and I am grateful for the times we shared. Love Yogi. - Posted by: Yolande Le Quéré (Niece known as Yogi to Uncle Marc) on: Jun 15, 2014
