EDWIN WALLACE ARTHUR

September 24, 1946 - January 22, 2026

We are sad to announce the passing of our friend and “Uncle Edd”, peacefully at his home in Winnipeg on January 22, 2026 at the age of 79.

Edd was born in Vita and grew up in Dominion City. Edd was one of seven siblings. He was predeceased by his parents, Herb and Rose; sisters, Noel and Jessie and brother James. Edd is survived by sisters, Trudy and Pat and brother Bruce.

Later Edd met the Chmielnicki family who became his second family which included Ed and Hazel, Bev, Brenda, Sharon, Michael, Amanda, Jayde, Caden and Brooklyn. Uncle Edd was especially close to Jeffrey and Cody.

Edd moved to Winnipeg at an early age, he worked various jobs, retiring from the Provincial Government as a Surveyor. He enjoyed many bubblies at the Westminster Hotel with his group of friends. Edd enjoyed yearly trips riding his motorcycle to Sturgis, N.D. He spent most weekends at Husavik and later at Clandeboye. Edd was an avid local sports fan who often voiced his strong opinion at the TV.

Special thanks to the homecare workers, and his friend Dan who made it possible for him to stay at home until his passing. Also to Cody for his weekly entertainment, not quite sure who entertained who HA HA.

Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held early summer in Clandeboye. Burial will follow in Dominion City at a later date.

Rest in Peace our friend.
