WILLIAM ALLEN (BILL) MCKAY
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bill McKay at the age of 62 years. Bill was predeceased by his father, Harold, and his four grandparents. He is survived by his mother, Helen; his sisters, Carol (Rory) and Kathy; several cousins, and many friends.
Bill was a cheerful outgoing person who enjoyed talking to everyone, often asking about their pets. He had a good sense of humour and loved good-natured teasing and laughing, especially with his WinnServ support people and with his special Elm Creek friends. Bill will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Bill really enjoyed life, and he did not let health challenges dampen his spirit. He loved animals, small children, books and bookstores, firetrucks and trains. He enjoyed watching TV (everything from cartoons to the news); going away for a holiday; celebrating special occasions with his family; and riding his bicycle.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all the people who gave care and friendship to Bill throughout his life. Special thanks to his workshop support staff; hospital staff at Health Sciences Centre, Victoria and St. Boniface Hospitals; and everyone at WinnServ who provided love and support to Bill.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Carman United Church on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., followed by a reception in the church hall. A private family interment will take place at the Elm Creek Cemetery.
In Bill’s memory, please consider a donation to WinnServ, 101-90 Garry St, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4H1 or to Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB, R3T 0R3.
