In Loving Memory
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dennis Keith Holdsworth, who peacefully departed this world on August 31, 2023. Dennis was born in Moose Jaw and moved to Winnipeg in 1970.
Dennis was predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Donna, whose partnership was a source of strength and happiness. The loss of his daughter Marla and grandson Carter left an indescribable void in his heart, reminding us of the fragility of life.
He is survived by son Mark (Michelle), daughter Michelle (Gill), grandchildren, Trent (Adara), Dana, and Dylan, sister Carol (Merv) of Calgary, and friend Carol Robinson of Arborg.
Dennis had many passions, chief among them was his love for the great outdoors. An avid hunter, he felt most at home among in nature, where he could bask in the beauty of the world around him. His fishing escapades were legendary, and he could often be found casting his line into the waters throughout Manitoba.
Above all else, Dennis cherished the time he spent with his grandkids. Whether it was teaching them how to fish, sharing tales of his own childhood, or simply being a steadfast presence in their lives, Dennis's love for his grandchildren knew no bounds.
A private memorial service will be held among his family members after being laid to rest in the Arnes Cemetery alongside his wife and daughter.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Ducks Unlimited Canada in Dennis's name, a cause that was close to his heart.
