DON KORDALCHUK
Like many of us, Don's life was not without it's challenges, but he strived to keep a hopeful outlook, adopting the motto of a book he shared with others, "Don't sweat the small stuff". He approached those he met with sincerity, empathy and kindness. Not a boisterous individual, he did possess a keen wit, family dinners won't be the same without his recapping of favourite t.v. shows, Mr. Bean and Monty Python Flying Circus.
Don was born and raised in Selkirk and later resided in East Selkirk, where he appreciated the solitude of his property and his garden.
His favourite memories, shared with family, would be of times spent at Falcon Lake.
Don is survived by his parents, Henry (Butch) and Jean Kordalchuk; sister Leanne and her family; and his daughters, Crystal and Jennifer.
If you wish to honour Don's memory, please consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
The family would like to thank his
co-workers and friends at CN Rail for their concern at the time of his passing.
Condolences may be left on his tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com.
Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk
in care of arrangements.

Don was a genuinely good person and wonderful to work with. He’d share how proud he was of his daughters, talk about his garden and the lake. My sincerely condolences to his family. - Posted by: Mona Dupuis (Colleague) on: Dec 18, 2019

Hank and family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I was devastated to see Don's obituary in the paper. I know Don faced some real hardships and challenges in his life. He was kind-hearted and a devoted family man. He loved his family deeply, especially his two angels, his daughters. He was proud and spoke of them often. He was a hard worker and a pleasure to work with. Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you all. R.I.P. my friend. - Posted by: Gary Chabluk (Don and Hank's co-worker) on: Nov 30, 2019
