FREDERICK GERALD (GERRY) SNEESBY

August 30, 1938 - April 29, 2026

Gerry passed away quickly on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at St. Boniface Hospital and will be greatly missed by those that knew him.

He is survived by his sons, Kevin (Terri) and Bryce (Paige); granddaughters, Lauren and Danielle; and many family members.

Gerry was predeceased by the love of his life Jackie, his parents, all his siblings and many of his friends.

He loved and was proud of his family from Woodside to Winnipeg. His easy manner, kindness, great smile and laugh endeared him to those that knew him and strangers alike.

Gerry enjoyed working for many years at the CNR, Montreal Trust and CRA. When he "retired" he worked for the City Board of Revision into his early 80s.

He loved to travel, return to see family in western Manitoba, social events, all sporting events and to lend a helping hand. Gerry was a lifelong fan and supporter of the Winnipeg Jets and Blue Bombers. But most of all Gerry loved to spend time and support the love of his life Jackie who predeceased him three years earlier. Gerry missed Jackie very much and is now reunited with her.
