Obituary for Ethan Bennett Zuk Boyer
Ethan Boyer, beloved son of Sue and Dana, Brother of Reid, was tragically taken from us at the very young age of 19.
Ethan was born in Winnipeg on Tuesday, February 1, 2000. He grew up in the Balmoral area where he attended Balmoral School from K-8. During his time at Balmoral School he made many lifelong friends including Best Friends Arron Loewen and Erin Waterer. Ethan then attended Stonewall Collegiate where he graduated in 2018. In his last year at school he went on a school trip to Greece which he loved.
Ethan’s life revolved around Hockey from age five and onward. He played on various hockey teams where he made many, many friends. Besides Stonewall club teams, Ethan played on Interlake Lighting Bantam and was a proud player for three years on SCI Rams.
After graduation, his passion for hockey continued, with him lastly playing on three different hockey teams. Ethan would pack his gear and keep in his car in hopes he was called in to spare on another team.
This summer, Ethan was given the opportunity to work at City of Winnipeg Pools and Maintenance Department which he enjoyed and made many new work friends. He was looking forward to returning in 2020. This new job allowed him to purchase his first motorcycle (CBR600) so he could join his buddies riding. Ethan was currently enrolled in computer science at the UofM. He had a special skill set for making gaming computers and excelled in online gaming where he made many virtual friends who will also miss him dearly.
Ethan was a kind and gentle giant with a unique sense of humour and an endless love for animals. He enjoyed all sports, loved life and had a passion for snowmobiling and motor bikes.
Loved ones that have cleared the path to heaven for Ethan are his Grandpa Albert Boyer, Nana Barbara and Papa Jan Zuk.
Loved ones who will miss Ethan until they meet again are Grandma Muriel Boyer, Nana Jean Zuk; aunts and uncles Richard and Sandra Zuk, Barb and Ron Nordal, Jack and Carol Boyer, Jeanette and Barry Sheasgreen; cousins Alaina (John), Ashlee (Patrick), Leanne (Aaron), Scott, Garrett (Katarina) and Lana (Cory); also missing him are cats Callie, Titan and puppy dogs Hunter, Ecko and Ethan’s Dog Thanos.
A Special Thank You to those who stopped to help and pray for Ethan at the scene. Our Family would also like to Thank the RM of Macdonald Fire Dept., WFPS, STARS, WPS, RCMP especially Cst. S. Fenton for her ongoing support.
A Celebration of Ethan’s life will be held on Friday, November 15 at 1:00 p.m. at New Life Church, Stonewall with reception to follow. There will be a private Family interment later in the new year.
Those attending the service are invited to bring a “Tin for the Critter Bin” in support of local animal shelters. In celebration of Ethan’s love of Hockey, attendees are welcome to wear a hockey jersey.
In lieu of flowers, Ethan would appreciate donations be made to Winnipeg Humane Society and/or K9Advocatesmanitoba@gmail.com
We love you Ethan dearly and you will be missed by all!
