KIM ALDON MAJURY
He will be dearly missed by his wife, Joan, of 43 years; son, Jason Majury (Mel); daughters, Christine Pichlyk (Justin), and Megan Gyles (Matt); six grandchildren, Logan Majury, Ryder Bernier, Hunter Bernier, Mason Pichlyk, Avery Pichlyk, and Neve Gyles; mother-in-law, Ina Drayson; brother, Dale Majury (Karen); sisters, Sharalyn Hyde (Doug), and Ronda Bell (Norman); along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Kim was born and raised in Winnipeg. He graduated from John Taylor Collegiate, then went on to Red River College, where he received his certificate as an Electronic Technician. After graduation he worked briefly at AEI Telecommunications. In March of 1976, he was accepted into the apprenticeship program at Sask Tel in Regina, SK. After commuting every second weekend for seven months, back and forth to Winnipeg, he married the love of his life, Joan Drayson. They made their home in Regina for five years. When son Jason was born in 1980, they made the move back to Winnipeg to be near family. Daughters Christine and Megan were born shortly after.
It was at this time Kim was hired by the University of Manitoba. He went on to become a Systems Analyst and worked in Mechanical Engineering for 33 years. One of his proudest moments was being an instrumental part of an experiment in conjunction with the University, Bristol Aerospace, and the Canadian Space Agency. In December 1994, it took him to White Sands, New Mexico, where he helped launch a rocket into space. A man of unending knowledge, Joan always said there was nothing he couldn't build, fix or do. He was helpful to all.
You could always count on him no matter when or where. He especially loved helping his three kids, whom he adored. They have learned a great amount from their dad over the years. He was an avid gardener, and loved nature. He made sure his family went camping every summer in our 14-foot Scamper. Eventually Kim and Joan bought a trailer on a permanent site, and spent 19 summers in the Autumnwood RV Park in Gimli, where he looked forward to, amongst other things, golf with his brother and the guys.
He was a devoted husband and father, but his greatest pride was his grandchildren. He would do absolutely anything for them.
On November 1, 2018, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He fought the disease with courage and dignity.
He was determined to walk his daughter, Christine, down the aisle in October of 2019, which he did with great pride. In December, the disease returned once again, and he could no longer fight back.
Our family would like to thank Dr. Kim and staff at the Buhler Centre; Dr. Cavers and staff at the Victoria Hospital, for their empathy and understanding during his brief time in palliative care.
In keeping with Kim's wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will be no funeral service.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.
"We love you hon, it's time to rest"

Today I was remembering neighbours from a home I have lived in. A wonderful, kind couple who did become good friends while they lived in Regina. I remember Kim to be so kind. Patient and understanding. Very sad to read of his passing away, but to read of the life he and Joan created…. Amazing and well deserved. Rest In Peace Kim - Posted by: Norma Scobie (Neighbour in Regina) on: Jul 29, 2021

My very sad condolences to your family. I only met Kim briefly on my visits to Winnipeg, but I have grown to love your daughter Christine whom I have the privilege of being an aunt to by marriage, who is such a beautiful person inside and out. You can see in her that she was raised by a loving family, and that is a legacy that Kim has left from his life into hers and the grandchildren. - Posted by: Cheryle Milne Brown (Aunt to Justin and Christine Pichlyk) on: Feb 26, 2020

Kim's colleagues and friends from the Engineering Faculty were saddened to hear of his passing. Condolences to all the family. Kim was a great person who made work a little more enjoyable and entertaining. I will always remember the spirited games of Hearts that continued for decades during our lunch break. The hilarious arguments in jest after presenting anyone the queen, all the while drinking watered down tea for whom the dirty pot was waiting for the loser to wash. It was a great group of people and fun that Kim was a major part of. Kim will be missed greatly. - Posted by: Scott Sparrow (co-worker - Civil Engineering) on: Feb 25, 2020

We can only imagine how wonderful a grandfather he was. You will all miss him terribly. - Posted by: Howard and Myrna Cavers (Friends) on: Feb 25, 2020
