ADAM JOHN BANERA
October 9, 1935 - February 13, 2020

At the age of 84 years, at the Gimli Community Health Centre, Adam was called to mushroom heaven carrying his plastic gallon pail. He will be picking crocuses and lady slippers to honour his wife of 56 years, Josephine. Adam struggled bravely with gastric cancer for the past two years.
Adam's journey began on the homestead in Rembrandt, Manitoba with his parents and seven sisters. Adam worked hard all his life, he was a self-taught carpenter and farmer. Dad/Grandpa loved his garden and was extremely proud of his flower gardens at the homestead farm. His cooking specialties were pickles (never too much garlic), soup and head cheese. Rummoli and card games will never be the same, but this tradition will continue. He leaves many happy memories for his children and grandchildren.
He will be missed immensely by his six children and 17 grandchildren: Marie Arnbjornsson, children, Dana, Heida and Jonas; Ed and Vickie Banera, children, Daniel, Kyle and Lauren; Steve Banera, children, Linden, Shelby and Leah; Jeff and Joy Banera, children, Wesley (Sarah), Robin, Tristin and Stephanie; Tim and Brenda Banera, children, Melissa and Brandon; Nancy and Mark Humniski, children, Kyra and Tanner. Special family friend Cheryl and Blair Knutson have been along for the journey.
Also left to mourn are his sisters, Florence Hurak, Julie Peterson, Elizabeth Tymchen, Shirley (Mike) Kowalchuk, Emily (Johnny) Chabluk, and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, John and Ann Banera, and sisters, Sophie Kozoriz and Olga Romanchuk.
A come and go Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, February 22 at the Gimli New Horizons Club, 17 North Colonization Road in Gimli from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
In accordance with Adam's wishes there will be a private ceremony at a later date.

"We were not rich but we had
everything we needed. Amen"
