DAVID HAGGAN David Haggan, 76, of Winnipeg, MB, peacefully succumbed to lung and brain cancer, at Victoria General Hospital, on April 16, 2016. David is survived by his wife Ellen, of 57 years; daughter Donna Tschetter (Joe); son Mark Haggan (Anastasia); brothers, Thomas (Linda), Jim (Jeanette) and Brian; sisters, Maureen (Dennis) and June (Robin). He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas, Martha and his daughter Pauline.

David was a Journeyman Carpenter, he was a true artist of the highest calibre. He loved working at the Belfast shipyard and considered it the best job he ever had. He loved using his computer and enjoyed playing video games. He also enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening and learning German. Most of all, he loved his wife dearly and he will be missed. A special thank you to Palliative care in Winnipeg for their care and support. Cremation will take place, as per his and his families' wishes. A private memorial will be held with immediate family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Wherever you are Dad I hope you are at peace and surrounded by those that loved and understood you well. You lived your life with strength, honour and dignity. Your highest priority was to love and protect your family and you did that and I thank you. An excerpt from one of your favourite books. One Thousand Beautiful Things, 1925 A. Mee "A Beautiful Thing. Life, in sunshine or rain, is beautiful. We look out upon the world on a summer's day and see this age-old Earth with its youth renewed, and we think it like a dream. We walk through a wood, when the red leaves are falling, and we think it all a miracle. We look out across the fields, when they are white with snow, and are thrilled at the sight of all this majesty. And then awakes the joy of spring, when all the Earth comes leaping up, and the wonder is too great for words. Perhaps, after all, the world is just a dream, God's Dream..." - Posted by: Mark Haggan (Son) on: Apr 19, 2016
