It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larry (Woody) Hughson, peacefully at Stonewall Hospital, March 20, 2017, at the age of 55, following a battle with cancer. He is survived by his parents Craig & Ret Hughson, brother Kenneth, children Jennifer (Mark), Jay (Brittany), Max (Holly), grandchildren, Samantha, Olivia, Rachel and Reginald & nephews Adam & Mark.
Woody spent his first 12 years on a farm near Pilot Mound, before moving with his family to Eriksdale in 1973. After completing grade 12 & 1 year of university, he spent time working in Alberta, before purchasing the family home on the farm & moving it to Stonewall, where he & Karen Kelner lived together for eleven years. He started a business named "Hughson Heating Cooling" which he operated until his illness forced him to stop. Woody was always involved in sports, including hockey, bowling, baseball, curling, basketball and swimming.
The family would like to thank Dr. Zahiri & the staff of Stonewall Hospital for their care & compassion.
A celebration of his life will be held Friday, March 31, 2017, at 2: 00 p.m. in the Stonewall Legion in Stonewall MB. Please bring all your memories & stories of Woody & be prepared to share them.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Winnipeg Humane Society or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
