With profound shock and devastation our world lost an incredible man.  Alan William Babiuk (Al) aged 59 passed away accidently on Sept 7.  near his “new” hometown of Killarney MB. Al leaves his wife Cindy (nee Hamaberg), their “fur baby” ( & Al’s best canine buddy Pedro) He also leaves his brother Randy, Cindy's siblings and their families, cousins and countless friends and colleagues throughout Canada and the USA.

 

Al left a remarkable impression with family, friends, colleagues, community, & anyone he ever met even just once.  He gave 110% to everyone and everything but was humble & wanted no recognition for anything.  Outside of his incredibly sharp business mind he had a GREAT passion for music ( playing guitar himself) since teenage years in a band with buddies from Teulon Man. Sports, ( playing soccer & hockey)  and fitness, walking miles with Pedro daily & working out every day.
He was a voracious reader of EVERYTHING & retained it ALL.  Al never forgot a name or person he crossed paths with.
He recently became interested in classic cars with friends from Killarney & we had started participating in shows and parades. 

His love and interest in farming never left him and he immersed himself in our Killarney farming community making great farm friends & even tagged along combining.

Most of all Al was a philanthropist & wanted to give, help, organize, & fundraise & help in anyway possible ( even pulling weeds in flower beds around our town where needed.

I will never be able to cover this bigger than life man so I will stop here.

Rest Peacefully My Love
You have earned your wings.

Respecting Al’s wishes there will be no formal service.

Donations in memory of Alan may be made to the event he was passionately planning, the Al Babiuk Memorial Fundraising event, which will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. at the Killarney Fire Hall.  There will be a tribute to Alan at 5:00 p.m. Proceeds from this event will go to STARS, and for the purchase of a Transport Ventilator for the Tri Lake Health Centre.  Cheques may be made payable to the Killarney Foundation with STARS in the memo; Box 1180 Killarney, Manitoba R0K 1G0, or online at www.killarneyfoundation.ca.

At this time, Cindy would like to thank EVERYONE for their overwhelming outpouring  of love and support. There really are no words to express's my gratitude. I love you and thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Please remember Al in life and not in death & when you hear a good band think of him.

 

 

LIVE A GOOD LIFE

And in the end its not the years in a life.
It’s the life in the years.
