DARRELL WAYNE ROMANISHEN After a gift of an extra 15 years of life and a special six weeks of treasured time with his family on Thursday, February 23, 2006, Darrell went onto his next journey to be with Jesus. Darrell was born on April 21, 1964 in Beausejour, MB. He was raised on the third generation family farm by his parents, Alex and Doreen along with his three brothers, Terry, Glenn and Todd and one sister Cindy. Darrell learned a strong work ethic from both of his parents that he continued to prove even when his abilities began to fail him. He had a strong determination to remain independent and adapted his abilities and skills to different types of work. It was always important to Darrell that he overcome life's obstacles and continued to move forward. Darrell was a free spirit, he enjoyed sports (especially hockey and fishing), the outdoors, spending time with friends and most of all being A PROUD CANADIAN . Although strong willed in nature Darrell had a special gift of gentleness with children, the elderly, disabled and others living with life threatening illnesses. He was a helper in his own way to the under privileged and would always share what he could. Darrell is survived by his parents, Alex and Doreen Romanishen of Tyndall, MB, his sister Cindy and brother-in-law Clarence of Beausejour, his brother Terry and partner Christine of Winnipeg, brother Glenn of Beausejour and brother Todd and sister-in-law Tammy of Lorette. Darrell also leaves his treasured nieces and nephews, Carrie, Jeffrey, Candice, Tiffany, Jade, Ridge, T.J. ,Tiana, Ariel and Michael and great-niece Amber.
