DEKKER: The death of Edward "Ed" Allen Gordon Dekker, occurred on Thursday, August 12, 2021 in Brandon Manitoba. Ed was born May 14, 1964 in Brandon Manitoba to Jan and Grietina Dekker. Ed grew up and lived in Brandon his entire life. His passion was working on cars and his entire working career was spent in the automotive industry fixing cars. Most of what Ed learned to become a mechanic came during high school where he was taught by Bob Cooney. He worked as a service writer at Fowler Pontiac Buick GMC and then apprenticed with Dave Irwin at West End Service. Little time was spent at post secondary school as he did most of his learning on the job. He finished his apprenticeship and spent many years as a mechanic at West End Service before he moved over to Central Auto Body where he finished his working career in 2019. Ed enjoyed spending time at the cabin at Minnedosa and could always be found enjoying a good fire late into the evening. Ed was predeceased by his parents Jan and Grietina and brother Albert. He is survived by his spouse Leanne Gabrielle and sons Jordan and Barry; grandchildren Adrian and Paige; brother Tim (Susan); nieces and nephews Brooke (Scott), Boyd, Kelsey (Tom) and Kristin and great-niece and great-nephew Rochelle and Kaleb. A private family graveside ceremony will be held at the Brandon Cemetery. Donations in memory of Ed may be made to Westman Families of Addicts on their Go Fund Me page https://gofund.me/96e0583f
