Offer Condolences or Memory TIMOTHY (CHRIS) STELMACK
December 25, 1965 - June 12, 2022
It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Chris Stelmack. Chris had a heart that was so strong that even a heart attack couldn't stop him. Days after his heart attack, he persevered till his body could give no more.
He is mourned by his beloved wife Judy; son Adam; daughter Samantha; parents, Amile (predeceased) and Jenny; siblings, Randy, Terry (Jo Anne), Kim, James and Belinda (Don).
Timothy was born on Christmas, but he is most known for his name Chris because of his date of birth. Chris was a loving and devoted husband and father and his family meant more than anything to him. He kept them close and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for them. Chris' wife and children were his closest companions and he loved every minute spent together.
Most people know Chris from his hard work ethic that was displayed through his company, Top It Paving. Chris started his company in 1994 and built a lot of relationships throughout his 28 years. Chris touched many lives throughout his life and built great friendships, business-wise and personally. Chris had a strong presence in the construction industry and a great knowledge of asphalt paving. Asphalt paving was his passion and his workmanship showed. Chris always said "you only have two things in life, your word and your name" which speaks volumes about the person he was. He was an honest, proud and strong man in every aspect of his life. Chris had a presence that would fill a room with joy, laughter and a wit that was second to none. His personality was uniquely unmatched. He was caring, kind and genuine to everyone he would talk to. He loved to socialize, laugh and smile with his friends and always had everyone's best interest. Chris will be sadly missed by all who were lucky enough to have met such a kind-hearted man. We are shocked and heartbroken to lose a great man, father and friend to so many. We love and miss you and with great sorrow and deep sadness he is gone too soon.
"Those we love don't go away,
they walk behind us every day.
Unseen, unheard but always near.
So loved, missed, so very dear."
A service has already been held in Chris's honour. Thank you to Voyage Funeral Home and St. Boniface Hospital for their care and kindness on Chris's behalf.

My heartfelt and sincere condolences to you. I will very much miss Chris calling the office. He was such very sweet, gentle man and whenever he called I enjoyed the conversations we would have, and I knew it wouldn't be a short call! As soon as I heard his voice on the phone it brought a smile to my face. How can you forget that voice. He loved to talk and never called without asking me how I was first before he asked to be transferred to whomever he was calling for. I will miss that voice and miss his calls. Thank you. - Posted by: Jacki (Business Acquaintence) on: Jun 19, 2022
