JACK RAYMOND McDOUGALL April 17, 1956 - December 3, 2016 It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Jack. Jack passed away peacefully at the Health Sciences Centre surrounded by his loving family. He was predeceased by his parents Kathleen Plessis and Raymond McDougall and his stepfather, Maurille Plessis. He is survived by his wife of twenty five years Marilyn; his mother-in-law Jean Zebrinski; his son Nathan McDougall; siblings, Kim (Wayne), Mark (Cindy), brother-in-law Ralph (Jan), and Robert (Kim); nieces and nephews, Natasha, Jordan, Melanie, Emily and Jaycee and the pride and joy of his life, his grandchildren, Michael, Tristen and Montana. Jack was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba, grew up in McCreary, lived and worked in Winnipeg for many years, and was eventually able to realize his dream of living in Silver Harbour in the woods next to the lake. For several years Jack worked for the Department of Natural Resources as a surveyor and in 1989 made a career change that would change his life. He became a nurse. His caring and compassionate personality allowed him to make a difference in many lives throughout his career at Misericordia Health Centre, Kildonan Long Term Care Home and Betel Home Foundation. Jack was beloved by his coworkers and patients alike and made many deep connections and touched many lives. Jack had a boisterous laugh and a generous and compassionate demeanour that allowed his golden heart to shine through. Jack would always lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it; whether it was a tool they needed from his extensively and meticulously accrued collection, or simply a kind word of encouragement, he would go above and beyond to come to their aid. He will be greatly missed by everyone who was fortunate enough to enter his life. Jack had great respect for everyone who found their calling in healthcare, and on his behalf we would like to thank Dr. Kidane and all the staff at HSC for all their care and consideration. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the CancerCare Manitoba. Cremation has taken place and a private family service to follow according to Jack's wishes.
