EDGAR JOSEPH THEODORE BARIL

Edgar Joseph Theodore Baril passed away suddenly at home at the age of 72 on November 3, 2026 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was the devoted husband and caregiver of his recently departed wife, Louise Werth. They shared many wonderful years together enjoying life with their family, friends and their dog Shelby.

He leaves behind his children; Jeffrey Baril, Tamara Stuski, Jennifer Hiebert (Tara), Roderick Hopp, Jasmin Selman (Elliott), Matthew Baril (Lindsay) and Sebastian Tru (Maria) and his grandchildren; Travis Stuski, Kevin Stuski, Andrew Stuski, Coraline Selman and Wyatt Selman.

Edgar was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on September 13, 1954 at St. Boniface Hospital and was predeceased by his mother Nancy Julienne Baril (nee Gladu), his father Achille Baril along with his brother Rene Baril (Louisa and Derek). His siblings, nieces and nephews in Edmonton whom he loved very much; Denis Baril (wife Jenny and children Diane, Sheila, Cheryl and Laurie), Norma Spicer (children; Carmen, Susie, Tyson and Spencer), Nora-Lynn Turenne (Arthur) (James Mitchell) and nephew Nagio.

Edgar's family included many of his wife's wonderful family; Alfred and Helen Lavoie who were like second parents to him whom he cherished deeply. Susanne (Luc) Lansard and their children; Justin and Patrick (Anny). Linda (John) Tod and her son John (Danielle) Hornsby and Dennis (Gisele) Lavoie and his children; Christopher, Kenneth and Stephanie along with his great nephew Landen and great nieces Jamie and Willow.

Edgar was an amazing and doting father who always seemed to have plans to do just about anything with his kids. Whether it was a trip to see family or an outing to the zoo, Dad was like a big kid himself. He worked at St. Boniface Hospital for 35 years as a transporter and had many other jobs within the hospital, he was the guy everybody knew. He had many friends and coworkers who he chatted with everyday fuelled by pots and pots of coffee, whether it was in person or on the phone. He was always up for a game of cards and game nights with his family and friends. We remember those quiet Saturday mornings with his kids at the little kitchen table drawing doodles and playing card games together. He was a comfort to those who needed him, even with his awful dad jokes and stories of his childhood and younger years that seemed to get wilder every time he told them. Edgar was an avid reader and collector of movies who loved writing out his stories and letting us read them. He is still the only man we know to sleep through the circus, every movie and even the birth of a child or two. He was a man always quick to joke and break out into song and dance around the living room. He had many great friends over the years, some of which have already passed. His close friend James kept him in great company and was a great support over the years.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who helped Ed in his times of need and those who could be there for us during this difficult time. A service will be held a later date.
