GORDON EUGENE SHARP It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gordon Eugene Sharp on February 10, 2013 at the age of 58 years. Gordon is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Carol; daughter Charlene (Jeff), along with grandchildren Kaila, Travis, Annika, Marek, and Jaxon; sister Ruth (Ed); sister Georgina (Chris); sister Theresa; sister Shirley and many other extended family members. Gordon was predeceased by his father George, mother Albina, son Travis, and niece Katharyn. Gordon was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and spent most of his career working for Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation as a Safety Training Facilitator. Gordon spent many hours travelling, spent many summers camping in Stonewall and winters in Arizona. His favourite travel destination was Hawaii. He could often be found in front of the BBQ, cooking for friends and family. The joys of life were his grandchildren who gave him much pleasure. A favourite memory will be of Gordon watching movies with his grandchildren, eating popcorn twists. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. at Herman Prior Centre, Portage la Prairie. The family wishes to thank the staff of Portage District General Hospital for the care given to Gordon. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 250 - 310 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6. Arrangements entrusted to RONALD MOFFIT MEMORIAL SERVICES 204-856-3487
