AURELIO
MORENO MUNOZ
It is with extremely heavy hearts that we
announce the sudden passing of Aurelio Munoz on Tuesday, November 26, 2013, at
his home in Winnipeg at the age of 79 years.
Left to cherish Aurelio’s memory are his
loving wife of 54 years, Isabel Munoz; daughter Begonia Lowrie; grandson
Derrick Ross; sisters Rosa (Angel), Pilar (Jesus), Conchie (Paco); as well as
numerous nieces; nephews; and relatives throughout the United States and Spain.
He was predeceased by his youngest daughter Graciella Maria Munoz.
Growing up in Spain, my grandparents explored
all of Western Europe together, living in Germany for 10 years early into their
marriage. Grandpa brought his family to Canada for the endless opportunities,
and fell in love with his adopted home. He spent many years enjoying Canadian
summers at Bird Lake, winter trips to Mexico, and frequent casino jaunts with
his closest friends. My Grandpa spent a majority of his working life as a
Welder, and loved his adventures to the Arctic working on the DEW line. He was
a proud Spaniard, was involved the local Spanish community for many years, and
was once the president of the Spanish Club of Winnipeg. From a young age my
Grandfather found his faith in the church, raised in a Spanish convent, and was
a loyal forth degree Knight of Columbus and Catholic. Anybody who knew him
knows that he was a man full of life, passion, and character. There was no
doubt that Grandpa loved life, his family, and soccer. He had many achievements
in life, but none made him more proud than his daughters and grandson, who he
took in as his own son at a very young age.
A Eulogy will commence at 10:20 a.m. on
Monday, December 2, 2013 in St. Charles Roman Catholic Church, 320 St. Charles
Street, Winnipeg. Funeral Mass will follow at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Fr. Paul
Tinguely, presiding.
Our family gives special thanks to all of our
loving friends and support team, especially Janice Butler, Irene Morello-Beer,
Brittany Butler, Willie Butler, and Father Paul.
In lieu of flowers our family would
appreciate donations made to the Heart and Stroke foundation.
