KOZUN: Peacefully on Saturday, February 20, 2016, Eugene Angus Kozun, of Brandon, passed away at the Assiniboine Centre at the age of 74 years. Eugene was born to William and Sophia Kozun on June 10, 1941 at Rossburn, Manitoba. After marrying Evelyn (née Obedniak) in 1975, they lived on the farm acreage outside of Brandon and moved into Brandon in 1999. When not working on the farm, Eugene worked at various places including Metals Industries, the City of Brandon Recreation Department, and at Ron’s Service. An active member of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, the Ukrainian Men’s Club and the Ukrainian Reading Association Hall, Eugene enjoyed working on the farm, fishing, hunting and travelling in his spare time. His health limited travel to local destinations in the last few years. Remaining to cherish the memory of Eugene are his wife, Evelyn, of 40 years; sisters Marie Gensiorek, Helen (Paul) Stanchuk, Phyllis (Henry) Hrubeniuk, Judy Kuzyk, Ollie Mackedenski, Diana (Tom) Lawless, Verlene (Randy) Bruce and brother-in-law Nelson Luhowy. He was predeceased by his parents; sister Anne Luhowy; brothers-in-law, Nick Gensiorek, Leonard Mackedenski, Adam Kozack, Tom Obedniak, Dan Kuzyk and nieces Luanna Mackedenski, Evelyn Obedniak-Mauro and Pat Kozack. The Funeral Service took place at Memories Chapel on Thursday, February 25, 2016 with Rev. Fr. Michael Tkachuk officiating and Stella Fedeniuk as Cantor. Urn bearer was Terry Kozack. A private family interment followed at the Brandon Cemetery.
