ROMAN KOHOOT
It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Roman Kohoot at the age of 81.
Roman was born in Vita, Manitoba, in 1944 and was raised in Roseau River. He grew to be a man of deep faith who loved reading his Bible and spending time in prayer. Roman dearly loved his wife, Maria, and his family, and treasured the time spent with them. He enjoyed the outdoors and appreciated the beauty of nature. Known for his positive and caring spirit, as well as his warm sense of humor, Roman had a way of leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.
After studying at Steinbach Bible Institute, Roman dedicated much of his life to Christian camp ministry. He served faithfully for 23 years as a chef and food service manager. He later started his own catering business, serving conferences and events for over 30 years.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the staff of the Sherbrook Centre Dialysis Unit for eight years of wonderful care and service. We also thank River West Pharmacy for their kindness and support.
Roman was predeceased by his parents, John and Mary Kohut, and his stepfather, William Slusarchuk.
He will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Maria, of 55 years; his sons, Timothy (Anna) and Paul (Urszula); his grandchildren; and his brothers and sisters, Walter, Adam, Eileen, and Elsie, along with their families.
A funeral service will be held on March 19 at 10:00 a.m. at Grant Church in Winnipeg, followed by burial at Roseau River Community Cemetery.
Roman will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
