TREVOR ROBERT OTTO
Left to cherish his memory is his wife Victoria, mother Fran; sisters, Jackie and Jodi; brother-in-law Raymond, and his nieces, Lauren and Michelle. Trevor is predeceased by his father Robert (Bob) Gordon Otto.
Trevor was born January 13, 1966 in Pinawa, Manitoba. He was a mischievous little boy that kept his mother very busy. Trevor was very excited when his little sister Jackie was born.
As Trevor grew he was active with Scouts, fishing, and when older he got into photography. He loved playing Touch Football with all his friends (until he broke his leg). Graduation from Grade 12 came quickly and he soon went to the University of Manitoba and enjoyed staying in the dorm there. Trevor was very adventurous and left to backpack through Mexico, Guatemala and later travelled to Thailand. He raved about the different foods and often tried to replicate them.
Trevor ended up taking different jobs here and there until he found his calling and became a Licence Practical Nurse. Soon after graduation from Nursing School he packed up and moved to Churchill. The local's welcomed him with open arms. Trevor didn't leave Churchill to work anywhere else as he loved the Hudson Bay and many of the activities Churchill had to offer. He stayed and worked at the hospital for 19 years.
It was quite funny when he would come down to Winnipeg, as he would spend a lot of time shopping for fresh vegetables and different foods that he could not get in Churchill. He usually had at least three large Rubbermaid tubs packed to take home.
A special thank you to Jeff Bresler for having been such a good friend to Trevor.
Thank you to Korban's Funeral Chapel for taking care of arrangements for us at this very difficult time.
As per Trevor's wishes, there will be no service. Cremation has taken place.
May you be doing everything you
want to do and eat all the different
cultural foods you like.
We love you and miss you.
You are far too young to be gone.
Peace be with you always.

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Trevor. I remember Trevor as a young boy who always had a smile and a friendly greeting for all. His father was a Firefighter who had a special way with us kids and gave us all our Fire Safety lectures at our elementary school. I recall Trevor and the family to be the nicest people who were full of such goodness. R.I.P Trevor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. - Posted by: Colin Brown (Friend) on: Feb 07, 2021

Saddened to hear news of Trev's passing. So many warm memories from our youth in Pinawa. All of our literally countless bike rides around Pinawa, playing pool in your parents' basement listening to Rush, playing golf on the Kelsey House grass, our "7-man football" games, and a summer where we set an unofficial record for number of ping pong games played in 2 months. We lost touch after I moved away, but news of your adventures up north reached me every so often, and I was happy you found your niche. You always brought a smile to those around you, Trevor. Peace be yours in your eternal rest. - Posted by: Paul Juhnke (Friend from youth) on: Dec 23, 2020

My dear friend Trevvy, so so sad to hear of his passing. I hung out with him in 80s and 90s in Wolseley neighbourhood, sharing Saturday mornings garage-sailing followed by Tall Grass Prairie cinnamon buns and strong coffee on my rooftop deck sharing the treasures we'd bought. We lost touch but ran into each other occasionally at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. He was a beautiful free spirit, taking things as they came. We shared our love of travel and to many of the same places. Deep and sincere condolences to Victoria and the family. May you rest in peace and go where you may. - Posted by: Julie Price (friend) on: Nov 21, 2020

What a sad moment. Trevor always made me laugh. During high school and university I valued our friendship. Years go by and you lose touch. After I heard of his passing there was a text string with two other friends and we were laughing about some of the things: and yes the broken leg came up. Rest well my dear friend - Posted by: Rob Thomson (High school friend) on: Nov 20, 2020

I feel so sad that Trevor felt so alone. He was inquisitive, well read , and a singular personality. He must have been devastated by the way he was treated by the Churchill Health Centre. - Posted by: Bernadette (Co-worker) on: Nov 17, 2020

My deepest condolences to Trevor's family. I have occassionally worked up in Churchill for the last 11 years. I did not know Trevor well but he always had a friendly word to say when we saw each other and always came into the operating room to welcome us back and see how we were all doing. We will surely miss his big personality. You were way to young to leave Trevor but I hope you find everything to make you happy on the other side!! - Posted by: Sandie (Coworker) on: Nov 14, 2020
