ALEXANDER EWACHA
Mar. 23, 1937-Oct. 25, 2018

On Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018, our dad, husband and grandfather, Alex Ewacha, passed away at Riverview Health Centre, Winnipeg, MB, from a lengthy battle with cancer. Alex was predeceased by his parents Micheal and Paraska Ewacha, brothers Henri and Bud.

He leaves behind his devoted wife, Violet, of 58 years, son Curtis and wife Jackie, son Terry and wife Vicki, daughter Sherry and husband Ray, four beautiful grandchildren and one step-grandchild, Jennifer, Shaun, Michelle (husband Brian Kis), Danielle and Jordan.

Alex was born on Mar. 23, 1937 in Zhoda, MB where he was raised on his family’s farm. He went to work at a smelter mine in Sudbury, ON then returned back to Zhoda to continue farming. He was close with his brother Bud. Alex’s favorite pastime was hunting and trapping.

In 1959, Alexander met Violet and married in June 1960. In September 1967, Alex and Violet sold their farm in Zhoda and then moved to Middlebro, MB where they raised their family and pursued cattle and grain farming. Alex volunteered many hours with Violet at the Middlebro Community Centre. Alex retired in 1996 from cattle farming. Alex and Violet then first travelled two winters to Texas in their RV, with other travels to Mexico, Cuba, Hawaii, Italy, Hungary, Austria and winters in Victoria, BC.

Alex was a devoted grandfather who loved spending time with each of his grandchildren. He was kind-hearted with a strong work ethic and enjoyed helping people. Dad will be sadly missed and forever in our hearts.

A memorial celebration of Alex’s life will be held in April 2019 which will be announced at a later date.

Special thanks to Riverview Health Centre, to all the staff for the wonderful care and kindness they showed and all staff at St Boniface CancerCare. It gave great comfort to our dad during his care.
