WILLIAM BILLIE JOSEPH MAGES It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our brother Billie on December 20, 2004. Bill was born in Winnipeg on February 20, 1965. He attended H C Avery and later Garden City Collegiate. He went on to become a carpet installer, a trade he learned from his older brothers. Bill was a man with very little material things but whatever he had he would gladly give it to you. What he lacked in material possession he more than made up for in friends and family ties. He made us laugh and cry with his child-like nature. His special sayings, like whatever and who loves ya babe, will be our comfort. Billie was predeceased by his mother and father, Tillie and Michael Mages; two brothers and sister in infancy; and very dear sister-in-law Marlene Mages. Bill leaves to mourn his twin brother Darrin Mages (Anita); sister Laurie (Peter), sister Debbie (Don Procopchuk); brother Gary Mages (Terry) and brother Tom Mages; as well as nieces and nephews, Tammy (Mike Zakowich), Rick and Shelly Mages, Danny Mages (Steffie), Nick Mages (Jackie), Mandy, Jessie, Carly, Nicole and Vanessa; great-nieces and nephews, Jordan, Kelly, Cody, Madison, Brittney, Faith and Ema; also numerous aunts, uncles and cousins as well as Bill's friends who watched over him. Our very special thanks to our Aunties and cousins for all their love and support. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, December 28 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St., with Fr. Isidore Dziadyk O.S.B.M. officiating. Honorary pallbearers will be Darrin Mages, Joseph Richlew, Todd Sech, Barry Korba, Darryl Works, Neil Kaplan and Graham Hutzal. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, Our chain will link again. Love ya, Billie, Rest in Peace.
