Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGLENN JOHN KARDASHINSKI A funeral mass will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 19, 2013 in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Gimli, MB, for Glenn, who passed away on December 26 in Chilliwack, BC, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 52. Glenn leaves to mourn his loving sons Matthew (Chelsea) and Jonathon, mother Ollie, brother Kevin (Kathy), grandchildren Emily and Tyler, aunts Frances (Bill) King, Rosalie (Larry) Olsen, and numerous cousins. He was predeceased by his father John, grandparents John and Kay Adamik, grandparents Rudolf and Ileen, uncles Rudy (Evelyn), Louis. Though his life was short, his achievements were many. He pursued his dreams early; with hard work he realized his dream of owning and racing his car at Gimli Dragways, winning trophies, and he enjoyed motorcycling. He was employed in various places in Gimli as an automotive tech; he worked in Churchill and Hay River, NWT. Later he moved to BC and made his home there for the past 24 years. He was a devoted employee at a Ford dealership in Abbotsford, a technician who could fix anything. A skilled carpenter, he was always eager to help friends with projects. He was a devoted father and mentor, who raised his sons and provided a comfortable home for them. The family wishes to thank Don and Ann Humeny, Perry and Dawn, Voytek, and all of his friends for their love, care and support. "Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him O Lord"

Glenn was the shop foreman at the Ford dealership my husband and I worked at. From there we became good friends, and would hang out at each others homes, or Highwayman. :) He was a great mechanic, honest, really hard working, and a lot of fun to work with. You could always talk to him about a problem you were having, and he'd give you his honest opinion. We'll really miss you Glenn, but we're happy you're no longer in pain. xoxo Raj & Kalvin - Posted by: Raj Toor (Co-worker, friend) on: Jan 29, 2013

We are so happy to have had a friend in Glenn. He was such a generous man, with his time and his friendship. We'll miss his sense of humour for sure. Having said that, we are relieved he no longer suffers. We'll see ya later buddy...Cheers! - Posted by: Tammy,Tammy and family (friends) on: Jan 17, 2013
