CHRISTIAN SZUNYOG
December 9, 1951 - February 4, 2021
Left to cherish his memory is his beloved wife of 45 years, Marlene; son Logan (Shanna); grandchildren, Abby, Andrew and Archer; sisters, Inga and Ingrid; brothers, Larry (Brenda) and Rudi (Yvette); as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Born in 1951 in Germany and moved to Canada with his family when he was two years old, finally settling in Winnipeg. He attended Tech-Voc High School, meeting the love of his life, Marlene, in 1967, marrying in 1974.
After high school he attended Red River College, graduating in Design and Drafting in 1974, thereafter embarking in a career in the HVAC industry.
He had all the joys and a few sorrows of a life well lived. Throughout his life, he was surrounded by the love and admiration of his friends, family and acquaintances. He loved to laugh, was talented, kind, encouraging and honest.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
In accordance with Chris' wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
