Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryTREVOR WINTERS February 15, 1949 - November 30, 2016 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our father and husband Trev Winters. Dad was born 67 years ago in Dauphin, MB and is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Wendy; his sons Craig (Marilyn) and Tim (Cathy-Ann); grandchildren Matthew, Claire, Everett and Victoria; special friends Garry and Shirley Kloon, and his adopted Maritimers, the Jackmans. Dad was predeceased by his parents, Archie and Edna, and his brother Garry. Dad grew up in Ashville, MB on the family farm. With agriculture in his blood, he embarked on a distinguished career at Manitoba Pool Elevators, and then later with the Federal Government, where he rose to the position of Deputy Director of Agri-Food Development before his retirement in 2010. The family's time in Souris, MB will always be special. Lifelong friendships were forged and his two sons were born. Dad also had special bonds with his curling buddies (the "Board of Four") and his friends from the lake and from time spent in Hemet, CA in recent years. Dad was a champion of many causes throughout his life, which included many years volunteering on the board of St. Boniface Minor Hockey Association, and most recently, was instrumental in the successful integration of sewer/water service at Clear Lake in the "old campground". Family was always priority #1. He was the quintessential family man and without question, his purpose in life was to be a Grandpa...and he was one of the very best. His morning snuggles were a favourite of all the grandkids and his willingness to get in the frigid waters of Clear Lake to play with them was unparalleled. He also took full advantage of the grandparents' right to spoil grandkids with treats. Nothing made him more proud than when someone would refer to him as the world's best grandpa. We will miss you, and we are forever grateful to have had you in our lives. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Victoria General Hospital for their care and compassion. A celebration of life will take place Monday, December 5, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. at Breezy Bend Country Club, 7620 Roblin Boulevard, Headingley, MB. Please direct donations to either the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or the Victoria General Hospital Foundation. E.J. COUTU & CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 204-253-5086 ejcoutu.com

Grandpa it has been 2 years now but losing you has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through I wish you were still here. The cabin just isn't the same anymore I miss jumping into the lake with you taking the boat out to the cove/my island and playing in the water while you drink your freska while making hotdogs on the beach or making smores out in the cookshack. Me, Claire. Everett. Victora, Zack and Lindsay all miss you and I hope your having a good afterlife with all the Fresca you can drink. - Posted by: Matthew Winters (Grandson #1) on: Jan 25, 2019

My heartfelt condolences to Trevor's family, I am so sad to hear of your loss. I had the pleasure of working with, and learning from, Trevor during our some 20 years with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. I was Trevor's Alberta counterpart, and we shared ideas and challenges on many files. He was a thoughtful and kind man who spoke so proudly of you, his family. He would talk about his favourite place to vacation in Cuba, or the lake, and share highlights of your accomplishments. I know that everyone who knew Trevor will reflect back fondly, and feel better for having known him. My deepest sympathy during this difficult time. - Posted by: Rodney Dlugos (Colleague) on: Dec 09, 2016

Wendy, Craig, Marilyn, Tim Cathy-Ann, Claire, Matthew, Victoria and Everett we are so sorry for your loss, may knowing our thoughts are with you during such a difficult time help get you through. We will always remember how Trevor welcomed us with open arms making us feel part of the old campground family from the first day that we arrived. His kind heart and generosity, willing to do anything for anyone especially his grandkids will always be remembered. We will miss his company, and laughter out in the cook shack but his memories and spirit will last a lifetime. Take care of yourselves and each other during such a difficult time.

Wendy, Craig, Tim and family -- we were so sorry to learn of Trevor's passing. We remember fondly the years that our boys played hockey together, the friendship that we enjoyed. We remember the tournaments where Trevor never failed to make everyone laugh and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who might need it, or to interject a little humor into a somewhat tense situation. We offer our thoughts and prayers to you as a family. May peace be with each of you. - Posted by: Evelyn and Leo (Acquaintance) on: Dec 05, 2016

Wendy and family... words cannot express...can hardly stay focused in our thoughts the sadness we all share with you. From the day we moved 4 doors down from you at the lake you and Trevor have taken us under your wing, showed us what it took to be an Old Campgrounder...and above all showed us how to live, love the lake. The comfort you and Trevor gave Nolan staying at the cabin the entire summer alone, and again with the girls this past summer was that of a family member. We all felt safe when storms hit, almost like we knew you'd never let anything happen to our kids. The wisdom and advice with pretty much everything we inquired about including the words of confidence Trevor and I (Leanne) had in the summer about raising teenagers and how to let go, let them live and know that they're good kids. No matter how frustrated I was, Trevor, you managed to look at things a few different ways and always in a positive manner. From cookshack parties to stopping to say hello and pet Macy, you were/are someone we admired. Our promise to you is that we share the exact same thoughtfulness and care you gave us for your wonderful Wendy and your grandkids. Swimming won't be the same without grandpa but we'll chip in and make sure they're continuing to make memories. Raising a Moosehead Lite to you our friend. Clear Lake will never be the same to us without seeing you there. Our heart goes out to Wendy. Rest easy. -Leanne, Andy, Nolan, Hayleigh and Mackenzie. - Posted by: Leanne, Andy, Nolan, Hayleigh, Mackenzie & Macy (Friends from the Old Campground) on: Dec 03, 2016

Wendy, Craig, Tim, & families Sorry, we can't be with you at Trevor's funeral; but our thoughts are with you. We'll miss our neighbourly conversations - either in the backlane or when cutting grass in our front yards; as well as the aroma's from your barbecue with your kids. Take care - Boris, Marilyn, Tanis, Donna, & Cathy - Posted by: Boris & Marilyn Nazarewich (Next door neighbour's) on: Dec 03, 2016
