DOUGLAS SEWELL
On Sunday August 3, 2025, Doug slipped peacefully away. Born in Tottenhill, England on April 8, 1939, he lived a full and varied life. From the farm in the fens to a career in the RAF that took him all the way to Singapore, back to England eventually, and then emigrating to Canada with his young family in 1969, he was never afraid of change. Doug spent several years working in the aviation business in La Ronge SK and northern Manitoba. He retired as a Real Estate Broker in Winnipeg.
Doug is survived by his wife Andrea; son Gary (Jolene); daughter Tracey; and son Scott (Shawna); grandchildren, Erik, Matthew, Simon, Marcus, and Sophie. He is also survived by his step-family; Rachel (Scott), Kelly (David), Kai (Natasha), Livia, Liam, Willa, Hayden, and Ryder.
At Doug’s request, there will be no formal service. If friends desire, please consider a donation to CancerCare Manitoba or Spirit of Hope Rescue.

Dear Tracey and Family, Very sad news to hear that your Dad has passed, please accept my condolences. I find pleasure in recalling that whenever I was in the company of you and your Dad, his eyes twinkled with pride over the person you are. Doug was such a gentleman who exuded a great sense of humour, genuine warmth, and pride in his family. He will be missed!
