WARREN CURLE

May 22, 1950 – July 15, 2024

With broken hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Warren. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of almost 48 years, Teri; daughter Riley (Kevin); new grandson Grayson; twin brother Wayne (Marj); and sister-in-law Bev. Warren was predeceased by his parents, Mollie and John-nie Curle; older brother Howard Curle; and sister-in-law Leslie Levy. 


Warren we will love and miss you forever.


Warren was born and raised in St. James. He had wonderful memories of camping with the family in “Big Blue”. He often talked about growing up in the neighbourhood with so many good friends and the fun times they all had together. He was a member of the boy scouts and enjoyed everything about that, especially his trip to the World Jamboree in Idaho. He also started curling which he kept up till the end of his life. Golfing was another passion. Sadly he lost his life on a golf course playing the game he loved. He had many friends that he kept all of his life.


Warren graduated from the U of M with a degree in computer science. In order to find work, he moved to Toronto where he lived for five years. He started out living with his relatives in Burlington, then for a time, roomed with an old friend, Jim McAllen. During that time, Wayne set him up on a blind date with Teri. It was almost love at first sight. Teri moved to Toronto and they were married in April 1977. Realizing they would never be able to afford a nice home there, they moved back to Winnipeg, where eventually he started working at Air Canada. Those were wonderful years with lots of travel to Mexico, Jamaica, Antigua, and Hawaii to mention a few. They both joined the Air Canada dart club and travelled the country for tournaments.


In June of 1992, Riley became an amazing addition to their life. She was Warren’s pride and joy. As she grew, he loved helping her with science and math problems. He was a very proud Dad when she graduated university with two degrees.


Over their life together they took many trips camping, meeting new friends, twelve trips to the Yukon and still travelled with the dart club including a trip to England when Riley was only three.


Warren’s time at Air Canada ended and he had several more jobs before retiring. He then worked casually for Carlton Cards helping Teri. His proudest moment was walking Riley down the aisle when she and Kevin got married.


Teri and Warren started spending a few months in Arizona every winter where they took up tennis and made many new friends and enjoyed the warm sunny climate. There was also a lot of hiking, biking and golfing.


Warren’s first grandson, Grayson, was born on June 19, 2024. This was one proud grandpa and he was looking forward to the future with him. We are all happy that he got to meet and hold him before his untimely passing.


Warren, we will love and miss you forever.


There will be a private service at a later date. 


In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

I was saddened to read of Warren's sudden passing last month. I got to know Warren when we were temporary employees at the Taxation Center during the spring months in Sorting and Numbering. We shared some commonalities such as our love of curling and the fact both our daughters were born in the same year and named Riley. He was an absolute joy to work alongside, always making me laugh, although in a quiet and unassuming way.

I loved his sense of humour! He had such love and respect for his family.

The last time I saw Warren and Teri was on a plane flying from Mesa to Winnipeg in December several years ago...he looked the same but I don't think he recognized me. 😯

RIP Warren. I have made a donation to the animal rescue I volunteer for in Windsor park in your honour, as I used to see you turn into that neighborhood on the drive home from the TC every day.

I was so lucky to have Warren as a twin brother. When we were little, Warren and I were an inseparable pair. It was great, I always had a close friend. Being fraternal twins, we didn’t look alike. Most of the time I don’t think people knew who was who. If they got us mixed up, sometimes we would correct them, sometimes we didn’t. It really didn’t matter. When we got to elementary school they had to separate us into different classrooms; Warren was put in the A class (he always got better marks). Like most siblings, we were competitive and tried to out do each other, but we had each other’s backs. We had lots of fun! It will never be the same without Warren. I’m going to miss the games, the sports but most of all, the laughter at family dinners and at parties with friends. Twins have a special bond. I was with Warren from the very beginning and sadly I was with Warren at his sudden end. Tragically, Warren lost his life on a golf course playing the game he loved. Thankfully, he did not suffer. Warren never got to be an old man. I will hold the memory of him close to my heart.

Teri that video is a wonderful tribute---my favourite is the Panama hat and the speedo--definitely a side of Warren I never knew!! What I did know was one of the most generous, kind and humble men I had ever met---from the time in 1975 when he and you opened your doors for me to stay while finding my own place to live to more recent memories in Ontario and Arizona.. Adrian and I send our sincere condolences to you and Riley and all of those who are feeling the shock and loss of a dear soul. May Warren RIP and find some great golf courses in heaven!

My condolences on Warrens passing. When Warren stayed with us in Burlington in the 70's it was like I had a new brother. I will cherish memories of his pleasant nature, fun loving spirit and sense of humour.

Teri, Riley, Kevin, and Grayson. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Growing up, I remember Warrens laughter and smiles. My parents were always happiest when they were with their good friends, Grey Cup, Cards, Falcon Lake Camping, or any other get togethers. Warren, and Wayne were always goofing around, smiling and laughing as all those around them did the same. Happy memories I am grateful for. I know that Warren, George, and Dad are all hanging out, goofing around, and sharing stories while watching over all of us.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Warren at Air Canada and we often golfed and curled together. His old golf clubs were my first set. I will always remember Warren as a kind person who was fun to be with..You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

What a wonderful man, Teri. He was truly your greatest companion and charming husband. So any sensational moments; plenty of giggles from you and chortles from him! I really liked Warren; I found him entertaining and kind. Your tribute to Warren is breathtaking! You are such a beautiful woman, Teri. Many friends and family will try so hard to help you through this unimaginable time. Include me in that group. I am so sorry for you and your beautiful family. God's blessings be with you. Strength will come through Him! I love you.

Teri, Lloyd and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We always enjoyed our annual visit, chatting with you both when we picked up the keys to your Mesa residence. We know how much you were looking forward to spending more time together In Mesa, playing pickelball and enjoying The Wells. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Warren was always fun to be around. He was always kind and gentle even when he was beating us at tennis. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet you both.

I remember working with Warren at Air Canada and have fond memories of playing darts with Warren & Teri downstairs at the St James Legion. My deepest sympathies to you, Teri, and your family. I know that the pain will lessen over time, the memories will bring many tears, and Warren will always be in your heart.

Riley and Teri, I am so sorry for your loss. Riley always had the most endearing stories to share of her dad, I always enjoyed hearing about all the fun and silly moments they shared. I hope you both find comfort in those wonderful memories you made together as a family. Sending you all my love through this devastating time. <3

Warren was a sweetheart and a good tennis player we met in Mesa and over the years our friendship has grown I will miss him greatly

I knew Warren through my husband Bob, who was one of Warren's life-long friends from St. James. Bob had told me many stories of their growing up together. Once Teri had married Warren, and I had married Bob, we had remained friends over the many years, camping at Falcon Lake, card night get togethers, Grey Cup parties. Teri, I'm not sure if you realized this , but Bob and Warren have left us exactly one month apart (the 15th). My heart hurts for both of us, and Riley too, and I hope that Bob, Warren and George are together again, golfing and playing cards in heaven. My sincere condolences to you, Riley and Kevin.
