With broken hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Lewis Patrick Egan on August 28th, 2021 surrounded by his family and after a lengthy illness.

Lew was born in Brandon, Manitoba on August 8th, 1953 to Terry Egan and Teresa O’Sullivan. He was the second oldest of 8 children and the oldest son.

After moving to Winnipeg 1965 he completed his education at St. Ignatius School, St. Paul’s High School and St. Paul’s College. Married Anna Manteuffel in 1975 and together they were gifted with 5 beautiful children – Christian (Shelley), Cailin, (Mark), Kerri (Wayne) And Erin (Steven). He was predeceased by his son Ryan Patrick as well as his parents. He is also survived by his pride and joy, his 5 grandchildren, Kaleigh, Aidan, Julia, Rylan, and Kinley, as well as his seven brothers and sisters and their families.

Lew spent over 30 years working in senior management positions for Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation and after retiring (the first time) went to work for the Emergency Measures Organization where he made many lasting friendships.

He was an avid sports fan and coached his children in both hockey and soccer. He also spent 27 years as a softball umpire including games on a national level.

He was a man of great faith and served his church of St. Vital Parish for over 40 years as a lay minister, on a board of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Parish Council, the Archbishop’s Parochial Council and as a Grand Knight of the Bishop Grandin Knights of Columbus.

He enjoyed family game nights, fishing, traveling, holidays at the lake, his sports pools, dinners out with friends and loved the music of the 60’s – a love which he passed on to some of his children.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Vital Parish on Tuesday Sept. 7th at 10AM, Fr. Mark Tarrant presiding.

We can no longer see you with our eyes

Or touch you with our hands
