MARTIN JAMES BALSILLIE December 16, 1969 - December 18, 2006 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Martin Balsillie on Monday, December 18, 2006 at the Stonewall Hospital. Martin is survived by the love of his life Tanya; children, Twylla, Brendin, and James; mother Juliette; sister Merle; and in-laws Randy and Twylla; as well as his extended family throughout Canada and the United States. He was predeceased by his father William (Buzz) and brother Dan. Martin will be remembered for his passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge for the things he loved, including any Dodge muscle cars (especially those made in the 1960s), his collectables, family history, and love of animals. Friends will have many fond memories of going on trips with Martin, whether it was to a car show in Winnipeg, touring the countryside looking for old cars, to a Mopar show in Canada or the United States, or to meet a relative that he found. Martin's life was truly fulfilled when he met and settled down with Tanya, and began a family of his own. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, January 9 at 2:00 p.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel in Stonewall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society or a charity of one's choice. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
