JUSTIN APPERLEY January 1, 1978 - March 17, 2011 Justin grew from an endearing child to fine man who loved his family very much and shall be missed with all our hearts. He was deeply loved by his wife Lana and children Kiana, Bryson, Samuel and a Baby Girl on the way; as well as his parents Len and Sandi Apperley and siblings Brian (Sheryl, Brooklynn and Cody); Tanya (Rob Hale and Sadie); Travis (Penny and Chase). He will be also missed by parents-in-law Ray and Linda Harder who called him son and Ryan and Melissa Harder. There is a grandmother Doris Apperley and a great many extended family of aunts and uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by Grandpa Lorne Apperley, grandparents Gordon and Hazel Clancey and a cousin Ryan Hardman. Justin was a quiet person but forged deep feelings and developed real skills and qualities such as generosity and an ability to reach out to children. He had some genuine loves we would like to share with you. Love of family - He loved his parents but often told them that Lana was his Love. His devotion to his children was evident in the time spent walking, hiking, canoeing, working in the shop, playing monsters on the floor, or whatever was needed. Love of Nature and Animals - Justin loved living in the country. He treasured his river trips with his cousins and the many animals in his parents' yard from goats to horses to turkeys to dogs. There are many stories to be told. Love of designing and creating - especially woodworking. Justin could turn his hand to any craft and excel, but especially cabinetry and beautiful furniture. He was willing, generous in helping all members of his family with their renovation projects. He had been presently employed by Manitoba Hydro. Justin was a member of the Lac Du Bonnet congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses and knew Jehovah has a longing to reunite dead loved ones with their families and that being in Jehovah's memory is a precious safe place to be. Psalm 72:12,13 Justin's family would like to thank everyone: family and friends for their support at this difficult time. Memorial service to be held: Friday, March 25, 2011 at 2:00 p.m., at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 60 Cadboro Rd., Winnipeg.
