Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKENNETH WILLIAM EDWARD TRAPP
With blessed hearts, our family would like to share, after a remarkable 88 years of life here on earth - our Dad, Papa, companion and friend, Kenneth Trapp, got his "ticket to Heaven" on Friday, July 14, 2023 at 4:40 a.m. On a peaceful morning, he reunited with the love of his life at the Gates of Heaven. He couldn’t wait to "ask her to have the Last Dance with him".
Our sweet papa is survived by his children, Doug (Lennie) Trapp, Nancy (Bruce) Melan, Shelley (Neil) Armstrong, and Sue (Colin) Tribula and his grandchildren, Janelle, Chad and Mark, Jack and Julia, Erin and Kate as well as his special friend Madaleen Voss, his good friend Glenn Mroz and extended family, Robert and Sharlene Thompson and their family.
Ken was welcomed with grand hugs in Heaven as he was predeceased by his wife Joan, his grandson Scott, his parents, William, Tillie and Louis along with many relatives and wonderful friends.
Ken was born on November 7, 1934 and married his beautiful wife on May 9, 1959. He had an array of work experiences in life - a cook hand on construction, a heavy machine operator, owning and operating the local Gateway Restaurant, a farmer, a bushman cutting pulp, and finishing his journey of careers operating an excavator on the Red River Floodway. He was so proud of all his accomplishments throughout the years.
Papa (and Nana) loved their old-time music - floating across the dance floor in perfect time - "covering many miles" as Papa would say, meeting many dear friends in their travels. His cassette tapes played everywhere, all day. Music made his heart sing. And when Nana got her ticket to Heaven - Papa’s companion, Madaleen, filled a void in his life - allowing him to spin and twirl once again on the dance floor. They were good friends and had a special friendship. Papa spoke highly of all his dance friends; they were his extended family.
Dad also enjoyed fixing his old Ford lawn tractors, cutting firewood, playing cribbage, making sausage, gardening, canning and having plenty of laughs around bonfires with friends and family. Papa loved to reminisce and tell stories. With a welcoming smile he made many great friends in his 88 years.
We would like to thank Dr. Schmidt, Beausejour Hospital and Health Sciences Centre medical staff for all their care.
Papa had a big heart and kind soul. He used every ounce of his grand heart to give to others, until his heart finally gave out, passing away peacefully at home.
In lieu of flowers, please pay it forward and make a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association or a donation of your choice.
Celebration of Life was held on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel; 1035 Park Ave. E., Beausejour, MB.

I had met Ken and Joan many many years ago in passing. My best friend Mac and I would stop in at the farm every time we were in the area for a visit.I often think of them to this day as they are the kind of people that give a lifetime of memory from the first meeting.I am so sad to hear of the passing and offer my sincere condolences to the family. May his soul find peace and his spirit be free. - Posted by: Darcy Kisilowsky (An aquaintance in passing) on: Jul 22, 2023
