DARRYL REBEIRO Surrounded by his parents, Bert and Joan and his closest friends and relatives we announce the passing of our beloved son, Darryl Christopher on Saturday, October 30, 1999 at the age of 33 years. Darryl leaves to mourn, his heartbroken parents; his many aunts and uncles; cousins in Canada and Australia and his two grandmothers, Edna Mariano and Gretchen Rebeiro of Melbourne, Australia. He was predeceased by his only brother, Brian in 1991. Darryl was born in Calcutta, India and immigrated with his parents in 1969. He attended St. Pauls High School, University of Manitoba and graduated from Red River Community College with his Business Administration. He worked for MPI until six years ago when he started his own business, Kwik Snak Vending Services. He worked very hard and built up a great clientele, but more importantly, made many friends on his weekly vending routes - he was nicknamed candyman. Darryl enjoyed two favourite sports, hockey and football and was a season ticket holder for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers since 1984. He also enjoyed watching the many wrestling matches with his dad. Darryl loved travelling and enjoyed his three trips to Australia to see his family. He also travelled to Mexico and the United States. Darryl will always be remembered for his smile, his sense of humour, generosity and kindness. His friends were a very important of his daily life and he has left a legacy of memories - well miss you BUD.
