DOUGLAS MATTHEW ARBUTHNOT

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dad, the man, the myth, the legend, Douglas Matthew Arbuthnot, father, grandfather, and friend to many, on May 20, 2024, at the age of 72.

Doug was born on March 4, 1952, at the Victoria General Hospital. He grew up in Fort Garry for most of his life until moving to St Vital. 

Our dad passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. In true Doug fashion he was able to beat the odds with the time he was given. He managed to still find ways to customize his medical devices to fit his active life.

He is predeceased by his parents, Graham and Therese Arbuthnot; wife, Susan Bultz; and brother, John Arbuthnot.

Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories are his sons, Darcy (Brittany) and Darrin (Leah); daughter, Shari Normand (David); grandchildren, Dorian, Kollyns, Kamryn, Reese and Rylee; mother to his children Maria; and dear friend Linda.

There was nothing that our dad Doug enjoyed more than sharing tales of his many adventures…

A Celebration of Life will be held at 12:30 p.m. on May 28, 2024, at 603 Wellington Crescent in Winnipeg (Unitarian Church).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Doug’s memory to Never Alone Foundation.

Doug’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
