Obituary

It is with extremely heavy hearts, we are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew and friend, Roman Batiuk. He suddenly, yet peacefully passed on Friday, May 29, 2020 at Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach, MB with his wife Audrey and children Greg and Chelsea by his side.

Roman had a larger than life personality. There are many adjectives one could use to describe Roman, but these words could never encompass the truly loving, kind, generous, intelligent, hardworking, and knowledgeable man he was. He was amazingly strong yet, compassionate and gentle. He was such a supportive husband to his wife and supportive father to his children – standing by their sides through life’s toughest challenges. Roman had a twinkle in his eye when he was up to some type of mischief and family and friends were well advised to be prepared some type of prank or joke that may be coming their way. A wonderful story teller he was because his life was full of travel, friendships and adventures.

Roman was predeceased by: his parents John (1992) and Sophie (2018) Batiuk, and his sister Nancy (2018).

Roman is survived by: his wife Audrey Batiuk of Ste. Anne, MB; children Greg (Shannon) Batiuk of Winnipeg; and Chelsea (Shay) Little of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The role that became Roman’s favourite was that of grandfather to his grandchildren: Taylor Godlien; Connor, Ava, and Aiden Batiuk all of Winnipeg.

He is also survived by his: sisters Irene Firestone and Theresa (Les) Highfield as well as brothers: John (Paulina) Batiuk and Joe (Kathy) Batiuk; and brother-in-law Dennis (Ann) Nychka.
