Mark Bernard Paczynski passed away peacefully on June 4, 2024 at St. Boniface Hospital after a brief but courageous battle with cancer at the age of 57 years. He was predeceased by his mother Anna, brothers Kasmier and Joe and sister Elizabeth. Mark is lovingly remembered by his sisters Barbara (Craig), Diana (Cliff); niece Jessica (Anthony); nephews Adam (Kacie), Tyler (Ashley), Glen (Marley), Derek (Kaila); great-niece Alexay and great-nephews Louie and Kirk. Mark will also be lovingly remembered by countless close friends made throughout his life who reside in Winnipeg and throughout Canada and the USA.
Mark was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. He attended school in Transcona and graduated from Transcona Collegiate. Over the years, Mark was employed in various jobs, and in recent years he found his passion in volunteering, spending time at Park Manor Care Home, Deer Lodge Centre and most recently at Winnipeg Harvest where he made some lasting friendships. Mark faced many challenges in life, but was able to overcome them and remain a positive force in his friends and families’ lives. There was rarely a time where Mark wouldn't be ready to crack a joke or try to make you smile. He was always there to listen and would do anything he could to brighten up your day. Mark became a fan of his beloved New York Islanders at a very young age, and continued that fandom with unwavering passion, throughout his entire life. Mark was also a huge Bombers fan, and loved to attend games, watch them on TV or listen to them on CJOB. Mark really enjoyed taking trips to the Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, Minnesota either with friends or his nephew Adam. Over the years, and in true Mark fashion, he made many long-lasting friendships there. Over and above all, Mark had a true love for his family. Nothing made him happier than a holiday celebration, or an impromptu Sunday dinner where he was surrounded by his loved ones. Mark was a special person who brought great joy and love to all. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
The family especially thanks the Doctors, Nurses, and Staff at St Boniface Hospital - Unit 5E for the compassionate care they provided Mark in his final days. A Celebration of
Life service will be held on Wednesday, June 12 at 10:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel. Interment will follow in Holy Ghost Cemetery. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mark’s name to Winnipeg Harvest.

Mark was always there for everyone who needed his quirky sense of humour or just talk about nothing until you felt better. He was always ready to listen to whoever needed to be listened to. He was always about you, you, you. He was a gentleman who still had manners and opened doors for others, carried their bags for them, even going shopping for others. Drive safe my dear friend. - Posted by: Charlene Katherine Toset (Great friend) on: Jun 11, 2024

When I was hired by WASO Inc, in 2013, Mark was my first client and I continued to work with him until I left that organization last year. I enjoyed working with Mark and I was saddened to hear about his passing. My deepest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Richard Cockrem (Employment Consultant) on: Jun 10, 2024

My family and I have known Mark for many years here at the Condo where we all have lived. Mark was a quiet kind of fella and would try to lend a hand to those that needed it. He gave freely of himself. I pray that the good Lord will see fit to Bless and Keep Mark and hopefully reunite him with his sweet Pup Mandy!! God Bless!! - Posted by: Roberta Younger (Neighbour) on: Jun 08, 2024
