MELVIN HOWARD DOWNEY It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the sudden, unexpected loss of Melvin Howard Downey on September 23, 2010 at 58 years of age. A loyal and dedicated husband and father. He will be lovingly remembered and forever cherished by his wife Arlene (nee Ridley) and his daughter Megan. Mel will be fondly remembered by his mother Vivian, brothers, Brian (Pat), Del (Brenda), sister, Valdene (Terry), sister-in-law Deanne, father and mother-in-law Clifford (Skip) and Myrtle Ridley, brother and sister-in-law Brian and Lois Ridley, along with many nieces and nephews. Mel was predeceased by his father Norman in 1996 and brother Verne in 2005. Mel worked for Manitoba Hydro for 37 years until retiring in February of this year. He was a hard and dedicated worker, taking great pride in his work and all that he did. His proudest moment was the day his precious (BaBaLouie) Megan was born. He was a loving and devoted father. His love for her unconditional. More than anything in the world he treasured his father-daughter time with her. His passion for sports and music was second only to Megan. We would like to thank family and friends for all your support. Brian and Lois, without you we could not have made it through this. A private family service will be held to honour Mel's memory. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of choice. Rest in Peace Mel Chapel Lawn 885-9715
