Stanley Gerald Domansky

Stan was diagnosed in July 2022 with stage four cancer. He fought valiantly until he could no more, passing on Ukrainian Christmas with his daughters by his side.

Stan will be lovingly remembered by his daughters Vicki and Cindy (Corrigan), son in law Brian (Corrigan), sister Olga (Kwiatkowski) and numerous nieces and nephews and other family.

Stan was predeceased by his wife Joy, his parents Katherine and Stephen, and his siblings Erakie (Olson), Karl, Edward, Joseph, Elizabeth and Lily.

Stan was born in Sandy Lake, Manitoba, and spent his early years working on the farm. His ambitions led him to become a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1959, being the first member to ever come from Sandy Lake.

Stan did his RCMP training in Ottawa, Ontario, where he met and married his wife Joy.

“Stan the Man” transferred to British Columbia, being stationed in numerous places in the Vancouver/Lower Mainland area. Stan thrived as an RCMP member, being involved in many large, high profile cases. He joined the Vancouver Drug Squad, and was instrumental in bringing down the “Czech Connection” drug cartel in 1977. For his contributions in breaking up this international drug ring, Stan was awarded the RCMP Commissioner’s Commendation, the highest internal award in the RCMP.

Stan and his family then transferred to Quesnel, BC for two years, and finished his RCMP career in Prince George, BC, both heading up the General Investigation Section and as a Watch Commander. He was very proud to have been a Mountie.

In 1981, Stan retired from the RCMP as a Staff Sergeant to join the BC Tel security department as head of the Northern Division, where he worked for another 20 years before retiring completely.

Stan was an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoor enthusiast. He enjoyed snowmobiling, camping, and ATV’ing with his family and friends. He’d always have a drink ready for any visitors.

While he was a “no nonsense” man, Stan was fiercely dedicated to his family. He was a loving father and husband, caring for his wife Joy when she fell ill, and making sure his daughters were always taken care of.

As per Stan’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. If desired, donations could be made in his name to the Prince George Hospice House.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Liam Higgins, for his compassion and understanding; to UNHBC ER, ICU, and surgical departments for their care; to Dr. Miller for her guidance regarding Dad’s disease, and finally to the Prince George Hospice House for his end of life care.

Nostrovia, Dad!
