McKINNON: Jonathon Travis McKinnon, (Jon), August 24, 1972-October 11, 2020. It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we share the sudden passing of Jon. He leaves to mourn his daughter Piper, son Campbell, and their mother Toby Peters all of Winnipeg; Jon's mother Shelley McKinnon, sister Cindie (Bruce) Dunn and their boys, Porter, Blake and Lawson of Brandon; many aunts, uncles and cousins along with a lifetime of friends. He was predeceased by his dad, Jack McKinnon in April of 2020. Jon was born and raised in Winnipeg and attended Sisler High School. Then he met and married Toby Peters. They have two children Piper and Campbell of whom Jon was incredibly proud. He shared a love of music with his daughter and was so very proud of her performances. Jon's love of football extended beyond playing and he took great pride and joy in coaching his son and the Rods. He also loved fishing with his son. Jon worked at the Northwest Company for over twenty five years. Jon was always a kid at heart. Even though he had a dry sense of humour, he always lit up the room. Jon and his dog Irish, were inseparable companions to the end. He doted on her and she adored him. Cremation has taken place and a private service will be held at a later date. The family invites friends to share their memories at kilcollinscremationservice.com.

Jon was my son's coach for the Rods. He was such a mentor to those boys. He made practices fun and taught them integrity in the game and plays they never knew they could pull off. His sense of humor brought laughter to many. I will cherish the moments. My condolences to Campbell, Piper and Toby. So very sorry for your loss! He will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Angela Harper (Friend) on: Jun 06, 2021

Very sorry to hear about Jon. I miss his sense of humor and straight forward, get the job done personality. My favorite work memory is when he was training a couple of guys on a new task (They were not Excited about it), and he was doing it to a rock song playing the drums on the desk. RIP Jon. See you on the other side. - Posted by: Ron Morris (Co-worker) on: Nov 02, 2020
