David John Paskewitz
May 26, 1953 - February 3, 2025

With family by his side, David passed away peacefully on February 3, 2025 at
Boissevain Hospital after a brief illness.

Dave was born on May 26, 1953 at the Brandon General Hospital, the first child of
Reynold & Phyllis (Brown) Paskewitz. Dave and his three siblings, Vince, Moya and Neil
were raised on a farm near Ninette before moving to Brandon. In 1967, Dave’s parents
established Meadowlark Campground on Highway #1 in Brandon, when Dave was 14
years old. A family business combined with the outdoors was a dream come true for the
young Paskewitz family. After being with Manitoba Hydro as an electrical maintenance
technician, Dave returned to the family business in 1975.

In 1978, Dave married Fay Brandon, from Carberry, MB, and they worked alongside
Rey and Phyllis to run the campground. Dave and Fay took over the business in 1996,
and along with their children, Amanda, Ken and Christie, they continued the Paskewitz
legacy, to make Meadowlark Campground a place people would continue coming back
to. Many campers became like family, as well as the residents of Meadowlark Trailer
Park. After retirement in 2015, Dave and Fay moved to Boissevain where Dave enjoyed
flying his RC planes and was a faithful parishioner and active volunteer at St. Joseph’s
Catholic Church. Dave enjoyed travelling in their motorhome, spending time with their
grandkids in Yorkton and Boissevain, and was always ready to lend a hand with his
toolbelt.

Dave is survived by his wife, Fay (nee Brandon), children Amanda (Brandon Penner),
Ken (Kelsey), Christie (Jason Smith), and grandchildren Emery, Davis and Greydon
Smith, Olivia and Hadley Paskewitz, Dylan and Riley Penner. Siblings Vince (Diane),
Moya (Neil Tarr) and Neil (Nancy), sister-in-law Lynne (Brian Manns) and brother-in-law
Lon Brandon, aunt Janette Brown, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and their
families.
Dave was predeceased by his parents, Rey and Phyllis Paskewitz, and in-laws Milford
and Winnie Brandon.

A memorial service was held on February 18, 2025 in Boissevain.
Donations in memory of Dave may be made to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church,
Boissevain Health Centre Palliative Care or to a charity of one’s choice.
