JOSEPH JEAN-GUY SAVOIE
It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Guy Savoie, on February 21, 2025, at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre.
Guy was born on March 30, 1940, to Antonin and Marie-Jeanne (Bohemier) in St. Boniface the second youngest of nine children. He was loving, generous, resilient and mischievous.
Guy and Barbara (Nevin) were married on January 9, 1965, and together had five children. They lived in Winnipeg, Lorette and then settled in Cooks Creek where Dad was involved with the Knights of Columbus and Cooks Creek Heritage Museum at St. Michael’s Church.
Dad had many jobs over the years including being a draftsman, head of the Construction and Safety Departments at Cargill. Eventually he was able to live out his dream of opening his own shop Savoie Mechanical. All the kids put in some time working in his shop but it was Peter who would eventually work side by side with Dad.
Dad will be lovingly remembered by his wife Barbara, children, Dave and Susan, Bruce and Tarra, Peter and Allie, Nicki and Sean Bracken, grandchildren, Patricia (Keith), Christopher (Danielle), Rhyan, Ashtyn, Larry (Jean-Ashley), Owen, Onyx, Emily and great-grandchildren, Luci and Eli. He also leaves a brother Fern (Joanne), sisters, Aline, Georgette Vrignon and Denise and sisters-in-law, Annette and Rosemary (John) Komadowski; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
Dad was predeceased by a son Michael, brothers, Gerry (Marie), Gilles, sisters, Lucille (Adam) Selinger, Yvonne (John) Farry, brother-in-law Ben, and sister-in-law Therese.
A special thanks to the staff at Woodland Courts, Dad’s home for the last few years. Thank you to Dr. Leonard Minuk and the staff at CancerCare, as well as the doctors and all the staff at the PD Clinic at Seven Oaks Hospital for his care over the last eight and a half years. Thank you as well to the ER and Medicine 2 Ward staff at Selkirk Regional Health Centre for your care during Dad’s final days. Lastly thank you for all the kind words, love, support and stories from family and friends.
As per Dad’s wishes cremation has taken place and a private graveside service will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, those wishing may make a donation to CancerCare or to the Kidney Foundation.
