PAUL YARISH September 19, 1963 November 20, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we, the family, wish to announce the sudden passing of our husband and father, Paul Yarish at the age of 50 on November 20. Paul will be lovingly missed by his wife Cindy Leochko of 21 years, his two sons Wyatt and Morgan, his mother Ruby, brothers David, Brad, Doug (Yvonne), Bruce (Kelly), sister Leanne (Craig) Chumley, nieces and nephews, relatives and many friends. He was predeceased by his father Dave Yarish. Paul was born and raised in Brandon until he started his Manitoba Hydro career in 1988. He started as an Electrical Technical Trainee working at various locations throughout northern Manitoba. He thoroughly enjoyed working and living in Gillam. He spent time hunting, fishing and built a log cabin with the help of many of his friends. In 1999, Paul, Cindy and the boys moved to LaSalle. Many summer weekends were spent camping, fishing, and boating with family and friends. He was a master chef and would always create delicious nutritious meals for his family and friends. He loved to watch and cheer his boys on while they participated in their sporting events - Wyatt during competitive swim meets and Morgan during Taekwondo competitions and triathlon races. Funeral service will be held on Monday, November 25 at 10:00 a.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home and Cemetery, 1291 McGillivray Blvd, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Manitoba Hydro Employee Fund or the Children's Wish Foundation, 350 St. Mary Ave., Winnipeg.

  • I will miss Paul, my favorite brother-in-law, (as he referred to himself as). I will miss his big hug when I would walk in the room and the big sloppy kiss on the cheek. Perogy making day in LaSalle will not be the same again. I will miss seeing Paul sitting on the couch, watching some sort of sporting event, telling Cindy and me what we were doing wrong and how to fix it. We would nod; agree with him and just keeping doing what we were doing. I will miss his cooking – I could usually stay at the house long enough for Paul to invite me to dinner (hmmm – pork tenderloin on the barbeque). I am thankful I was able to be there for all of you during this difficult time. Our motto in Edmonton was “One Step at Time – Keep on Going!” and it will continue to apply. Love and Kisses - Posted by: Angela Leochko-Price (Sister and Aunt) on: Nov 27, 2013

  • I always remember Paul, and how he welcomed me to Henday. He made sure I learned bridge, and often made us laugh at coffee break. Although I hadn't kept in touch I will always remember him fondly. - Posted by: Treffle Aussant (Acquaintance) on: Nov 26, 2013

  • I was shocked and saddened to see this notice. Paul was a good friend of mine in the mid 80's in Brandon. We spent a lot of time together playing sports, attending classes (and mug day), and laughing. We lost touch over time and I often wondered how he was doing. It makes me happy to hear that Paul was a family man. I know he would have been immensely proud of that. I've never met Cindy and the boys but can only imagine the loss you're feeling at this time. My sincere condolences to the Yarish family. - Posted by: Bob Kujanpaa (Friend) on: Nov 25, 2013

  • Paul was a wonderful friend to many swimming families. After his surgery and during his recovery, he showed support by helping out in any way he could on deck. The set boards used by the coaches were built by Paul and his son, Wyatt, will remind the Elite and Performance swimmers everyday about how caring and involving Paul was with the development of our swimmers and the Club. We missed you Paul and you will always be with us in our memory. May God be with you. - Posted by: Pih Ha & Angeli Rengayah (Manta Family) on: Nov 24, 2013

  • I knew Paul mostly during our teen/late teenage years, right around the time when the capacity for adventure, excitement and getting into harmless trouble is beginning to peak. To me he was a lively, fun-loving, generally carefree and often unpredictable friend. He was always a source for some good laughs, because he was daring and seemingly unafraid of anything. But he was also a thoughtful and compassionate person, and I remember these qualities very fondly whenever I think of Paul. We spent a lot of time together, along with another good friend - Bruce Friesen - and between the 3 of us we solved many of the world's problems on countless occasions, usually late at night when it seemed that all of the answers were clear to us alone. I miss those days, and I miss my good friend Paul. Sincere condolences to the Yarish family. - Posted by: Brian Barr (Friend) on: Nov 23, 2013

  • Cindy, our hearts go out to you and your family over the loss of Paul. Please know that we are thinking of you and praying for strength for you family to come through this one day at a time. If you need anything please don't hesitate to call! - Posted by: Wendy and Joe Krupnik (Friends and Coworkers) on: Nov 23, 2013
