BRYCE FEDIRCHUK
It is with profound sadness that we announce the recent passing of Bryce Fedirchuk. Bryce was born in Winnipeg in May 2002, and always lived in the Riverview neighbourhood where he was known and loved by many families.
Bryce is survived by his parents, Pat and Brent; sisters, Sidney and Grace; girlfriend, Olivia Wiebe; grandparents, Allan and Yvette Fedirchuk and Theresa Longtin; aunts and uncles, Karen and Ken Wiggett, Paul Longtin, Alan Longtin; cousins, Robert, Kristen, Clayton (Sierra and Maisyn) and Kate (Adrian); and many other relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his Pepere, Paul Longtin Sr. and recently by his Auntie Carole Kurdydyk.
Bryce was a beloved and cherished son / grandson / brother / nephew / cousin / partner / friend. He was supportive, kind, and loving to all the people in his life, whether they were family or friends. Bryce was always a social person and his sense of humour and infectious (sometimes mischievous) smile meant he made friends easily. Bryce spent many hours on the rinks at Riverview Community Club which he considered a second home. He played hockey from Timbits until he was 18 and made many friends as a Riverview Ranger, Fort Garry Flyer, and as a member of the Twins hockey family. He loved spending time with "The Boys" at practices and games.
Bryce also loved spending time in nature whether that was alone or with Olivia, family, or friends. Bryce was always up for family card tournaments at GMa and GPa's place at Moose Lake, fishing with friends along the banks of the river, or spending time at the family cottage at Ena Lake. He also loved our family Labradors, which were a tremendously important part of his life. Bryce developed a true appreciation for food and became an excellent cook. He enjoyed treating us to his "Bryce Specials" where he showed an impressive creative streak (no recipes needed).
Bryce had difficulty dealing with some of the challenges he was facing and tragically passed away from what we believe to be an accidental overdose. All who loved him are deeply impacted by losing him far too soon. We miss him terribly, but we are also immensely grateful to have had Bryce in our lives. We appreciate all the support that so many have provided and for everyone thinking of Bryce and our family at this time.
All who wish to join us are encouraged to attend the memorial service on Friday, October 4 at 11:00 a.m. at Bethel Mennonite Church, 465 Stafford Street, or via livestream.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Riverview Community Centre, the Winnipeg Humane Society, or Shared Health - Mental Health and Addictions Services.
The family expresses gratitude to Ethical Death Care for their assistance. Tribute and livestream link at EthicalDeathCare.com

We are so sad to learn about this. It is so tragic to hear. Although we hadn’t seen Bryce much since he was a young boy, we would occasionally see him walking your family dog past our house. We hope you can all find comfort in your memories with him. You are such a lovely hospitable family and opened your house to many of your kids friends like our Skylar (friend to Sidney and Grace when they were in preschool). So sorry for you all - there are no words. - Posted by: Loreen and Barry Irwin (Neighbor and friend) on: Sep 30, 2024

"Those we love can never be more than a thought away, for as long as there's a memory they live in our hearts to stay." We met Bryce for the first time a few years ago for a family supper. I never forgot his smile and twinkle in his eyes how contagious they were. No words can express our sorrow for your family. - Posted by: Claudette Guimond (cousin) on: Sep 22, 2024
