Obituary of GARY PARISIAN

Gary Parisian August 2, 1959 - January 24, 2012 Gary fought a hard and courageous battle with cancer. But being the great man that he was, Gary always managed to keep a smile and an open heart. Gary was a welder with Motor Coach Industries for many years. He was also a mechanic and HVAC installer. Watching Gary work with metal, from bending it to welding it, was like watching an artist. Gary was a great husband and father who always wanted the best for his family. If you were to count the miles Gary went out of his way to help everyone, he probably would have made it to heaven at least a dozen times already. Gary leaves his wife Ann, daughters: Tori, Ricki, Sherri and Jenny and grandchildren; his mother, Jo Anne and Bill Laewetz; brothers and sisters: Guy (Marilyn), Gale, Debbie (Hugh), Darlene (Ron), Lionel, Dianne; and his in-laws, the Simard Family. Gary was predeceased by his, brother, Darryl and grandparents, James and Nellie Murdock. The family would like to give special thanks to the staff of the Palliative Care Unit at St. Boniface Hospital. Service will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, Winnipeg on Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Lunch will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation.
