It is with sadness, that the Sichewski family announces the passing of our beloved husband, father, and papa Christian (Chris) Sichewski, on August 2, 2023.  He was surrounded by his family at the Brandon General Hospital Chris at the age of 68 years went peacefully to be with the Lord.
Chris was born on the family farm on December 24, 1954 to parents William and Ann Sichewski.  He was the youngest of 10 siblings.
Left to cherish wonderful memories are his loving wife of 44 years, Diane, children Andrea (Shawn) grandchildren Kaiden and Kyra, Nathan (partner Heidi), and Matthew.   Brothers Mike, Ernie, Danny, Boris (Valerie) David, Sister Elizabeth and numerous nieces and nephews.  He was predeceased by his parents, William and Ann, Brothers Brian, Walter, Marvin, Sister Eileen, nephew Eric, brother -in laws Victor and John and sister-in laws Stella, Diane, Laverne and Gail.
After completing high school Chris  went to the oil patch to make money.   One of the most significant moments of his life he fell in love with Diane Koversky and they married on June 23, 1979. He always wanted to farm so he bought the family farm and ran a cow/calf operation along with grain farming.   Chris always made time for family, friends and having fun on all occasions.  He travelled to Punta Canna and Mexico a few times with family.
He volunteered on various organizations.   President of the Sandy Lake Community Hall from 1993-2012.  Sandy Lake Fire Department as a Fire Fighter from 1989 - 2002.   On the Sandy Lake Rec Committee he was instrumental  in acquiring the lands for the rec and the construction of the present curling rink.
Chris was a perfectionist  on any project he tackled to fixing broken machinery, working with cattle, constructing the family farm house.  His intelligence led him to many discussions as to how things should be run and completed.    He always thought outside the box.   He always provided good advice to his children.   Take pride in excellence was his moto.
He enjoyed spending quality time with his two grandchildren.  Face timing every day before the start of school.  Sharing stories of wildlife encounters and interesting topics about the universe and the big bang theory.
Chris enjoyed Ice fishing on Lake Dauphin, Lake of the Prairies and Sandy Lake with his sons and friends.  Participating in various fishing derbies around Manitoba.    Taking fishing trips up north with his sons and friends.   He received a couple of Manitoba Master Angler Certificates for catching the required measurements for a  rainbow trout and walleye.
