Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGEORGE WILLIAM ZACHANOWICH
George William Zachanowich was born on November 1, 1941, in Minitonas-Bowsman, Manitoba. He lived an amazing and fulfilled life despite a 40 year battle with liver disease. Upon contracting covid and pneumonia his indomitable spirit beat them both, but it was one fight that his liver could not endure. He passed away peacefully, embraced by the presence of his devoted wife Trish and daughter Susan by his side, on December 3, 2023. He was 82 years of age.
George is survived by his eternal love of his life Trish, his younger siblings, sister Sally (Barry), brother Harry (Susan); his son Mark (Vicki), and their two sons, Nicholas (Nicole) and Eric (Brooke); his daughter Susan (Tim) along with many extended loving family members and loyal friends.
An extraordinary father, he loved his family so very much. His positivity always illuminated those around him to be the best that they can be and to believe in themselves. He was a true entrepreneur, building a successful grocery business, together with owning a restaurant and other real estate investments. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and spending time at the lake. Most of all, he treasured the time he spent with his family and friends. Many fond memories were spent in Chandler, Arizona over the Canadian winter months. Most recently in their current home on the water in Prince Edward County, Ontario the breathtaking sunset views, white swans and other water fowl brought him such joy and gratitude.
Friends and family are invited to honour George's memory at a funeral on Monday, December 11, at 1:00 p.m., at the Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street in Winnipeg.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Belleville Hospital, ICU. We give great thanks, love and appreciation to all of the doctors, nurses and staff who gave him such spectacular care. We are deeply grateful.
