August 6, 1947 – September 10, 2024
It is with sadness that we announce that Louis (Leo) Melnyk, a beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 77 years old.
Born on August 6, 1947, in Russell, Manitoba, to parents Peter Melnyk and Helen Gensorek, Leo was a man of unwavering strength and kindness.
Left behind to grieve him are his children Karen and Bryan (Jenn); grandchildren Nathan, Gabriella, Archer, and Aurora; two brothers and a sister as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. He was predeceased by four sisters and two brothers.
No memorial service is planned but a private family burial will be held at a later date.
He will be deeply missed but forever remembered for his incredible kindness.
May he rest in peace.

Deepest Sympathy to Bryan, Karen and families on your dad’s and grandpa’s passing. Leo was a very generous person and we always found things to talk about. The news was hard to believe as we were together just in January 2024. He will be missed.
REST IN PEACE LEO!
