DANIEL DANYLEYKO Peacefully on Monday, August 14, 2017, Daniel (Danny) Danyleyko of Winnipeg, MB passed away at Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. Danny was born on May 20, 1939, on the family farm near Tolstoi, MB to Maxim and Annie Danyleyko. At the age of 14, he left the farm and went to work in Winnipeg as an upholsterer, where he developed a lifelong passion for carpentry. On October 7, 1961, he married Anne Friesen and settled in Transcona, where he lived the rest of his life. Danny worked as an upholsterer his entire career, and as a caretaker for 30 years with the Transcona-Springfield School Division until retiring in 2002. Danny will be remembered by his daughter, Denise Selby of Saskatoon, SK, her mother, Anne Horner of Winnipeg, son-in-law Steven Selby, and grandchildren, David, William, and Louisa, all of Saskatoon. He is also survived by his sister, Olga Danyleyko, and numerous nieces and nephews. Dan had a large chosen family of friends and neighbours whom he held dear and who will greatly miss him. Danny was predeceased by his parents, Maxim and Annie Danyleyko, his brothers, William, Andree, and Maurice Danyleyko, and sisters, Pauline Wozniak (Gerula), and Elena (Helen) Gerula. A private interment at the Overstoneville Independent Cemetery in Tolstoi, MB, will follow at a later date.

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • I met Uncle Danny in 1973. He was always so gracious when Paul Gerula and I stopped in to visit. When I moved to Winnipeg with Edward, Christopher and Olivia, we stayed in touch with him. When the kids Baba (Pauline Gerula/Wozniak) came to the city to visit, we always spent time with Danny. We lost touch in the past few years but he was often in my thoughts. Uncle Danny was the only link my children had left to the DANYLEYKO side of their family. I only now found out about his passing away as I was getting ready to send out my "late" Christmas cards and did a search. Our condolences to Uncle Danny's family. I know he loved you all very much and was so very proud of his family. - Posted by: Connie Ewald (Gerula) (neice in-law) on: Dec 29, 2017

  • Our deepest condolences to Danny's family. He will be dearly missed. The "beatnicks" will have so many fond memories of sitting with Dan in the driveway and chatting about "stuff", eating his tomatoes and other veggies he worked so hard to grow. Where he wasn't working in his garden, cutting everyone's grass, there was always a friendly wave when we drove by as he sat in the driveway with his never ending cup of coffee :) The street won't be the same with him gone. The boys (beatnicks) are gonna miss him. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Tamar and Family (Neighbor) on: Aug 21, 2017
