GEORGE DAVID PATERSON KURYK

A Photo-Biography Video is forthcoming, please check back soon.

With deep sorrow we announce the sudden passing of George Kuryk at the H.S.C. in Wpg, MB, surrounded by his wife and children. 

He is survived by his loving wife Lydia of 62 years; daughter Wendy (Paul); grandchild Christopher; son David (Keri); granddaughters, Sophia and Zarah; daughter Catherine (Ryan); grandchildren, Miller and Jordie; brothers, Robert (Pat) Kuryk and Donald (Carole) Kuryk; sister Lynne Kuryk; along with a wide circle of the Kuryk clan. 

George was predeceased by his parents, George and Doris Kuryk; in-laws, Mary and Stanley Janush; brother Peter Kuryk (Marge); son-in-law Ryan Bourget; and twin sons born in 1967. 

A life-long Winnipegger, George attended the U of Winnipeg and then the University of MB where he earned his MSW in 1968. He dedicated 33 years to Child and Family Services, serving as a supervisor and then as the Area Service Director of North West CFS until his retirement in 1998. 

He cherished time with family and friends at West Hawk Lake, golfing, curling, and supporting his grandchildren’s various endeavours. George and Lydia enjoyed their travels across Canada, US, Europe, Mexico, and especially Hawaii. 

The family is incredibly grateful for the care and compassion provided by the staff at the Urgent and Intensive Care Unit at H.S.C. 

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 10:00am on Friday, November 8, 2024 at the Glen Eden Chapel at 4477 Main Street, West St Paul, MB. A private Interment will follow.

George’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
