Obituary for Marcel Gilbert Gobeil
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the passing of Marcel Gilbert Gobeil on November 25, 2021, at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba with family at his side.
Marcel was born April 19, 1939 in Saint Boniface. Pre-deceased by his parents, two sisters, one bother and two sons. Fondly remembered by his daughters Nicole (Bill) Ernewein, Rachelle (Brent) Lamke, step kids Scott (family) and Michelle. Brothers Alfred (Lorraine), Mitch (Patty), Rosaire and sister Aggie. Grandchildren Tania (Darcy), Kailee, Steven (Mateo), Lisa (Rhiannon), Richard (Kayla), Chantel (Kennedy), Jonathon and great grandchildren Donni and Ryder. Numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friend Michelle Hawryluk (Gobeil-Jackson).
His early years of work include being in the Army, working at CN Rail and as a heavy equipment mechanic. He loved fishing, hunting, and playing a great game of cards with family and friends. He took great pleasure watching and participating in sports of all kinds which included many different roles in numerous leisure activities including community and minor leagues.
Known to be a great practical joker, some or all of you may have been an unwilling participant at one point or another. He would drive through a snowstorm just to be with family & more than willing to lend a helping hand to anybody in need. We cannot forget to mention his evident Love for animals.
Cremation has taken place, a Celebration of Life will follow at a later date.
