ANGUS STEWART DUNDAS

January 15, 1941 – June 19, 2025

A Photo Biography Video is forthcoming.

Please check back soon.


We are devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved father and grandfather, Angus Dundas. 


He is survived by his children, Jennifer (Thomas) and Jonathan (Susan); grandchildren, Spencer, Oliver, Winston, Carol, Thomas, Isaac and Angus; siblings, Robert (Shirley), Margaret (John), Malcom, and Barry (Lynne); and countless nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. 


He was predeceased by his parents, Bruce and Florence; and wife Carol, with whom he enjoyed many years of travelling the world.


Angus was born one minute after his sister Peggy, on January 15, 1941. He grew up on a farm in the St. Jean Baptiste area and attended school in St. Jean. After working on his parent’s farm for a few years, he attended the University of Winnipeg and worked at the Bank of Montreal. His work at the bank took him to many of Manitoba and Saskatchewan’s small towns and provided us with many stories that we continued to enjoy over 50 years later. 


In 1971 he realized that working the land was where his heart was and headed back to the St. Jean area to farm. Angus met Carol through mutual friends and married in 1975. They split their time between their home in Winnipeg and the farm, providing us with the best of city and country life growing up. 


When not busy on the farm, they enjoyed traveling, whether it be to visit Jenn in Scotland, seeing some of Kenya, Morocco and Egypt, or a little closer to home to San Pedro Island, and family trips to Florida.


Angus was proud of being the first to farm sunflowers in the area. He had a passion for antique tractors and plows. He had a diverse collection spanning all makes and models and the self-proclaimed “largest collection of antique plows in Western Canada” (possibly the world). Angus loved playing with his expansive toy collection, ranging from tractors and plows to quads and others. He shared his passion with the community by hosting Power of the Past Plow Days. Although Angus was rough around the edges, he was soft on the inside (our own burnt marshmallow). He spent many hours helping the community by mowing cemeteries and a local baseball field.


Angus was a devoted father and grandfather, attending music and dance performances, games and races to watch his children and grandchildren excel in the activities they loved. Angus loved building things for his children, and later, grandchildren to play on. He spent the winter working on perfecting the sled run, taking as much enjoyment in building it as the children did using it. He took immense pride in his perfectly manicured yard and ditches in his fields. He took great joy in sharing his love of farming with his grandchildren, including his eldest grandson, Spencer, who spent many hours out at the farm helping grandpa.


Angus will be greatly missed by family and many friends. We would like to extend our sincerest thank you to all who touched Angus’s life and helped him throughout the years. We are forever grateful.


Cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 3, 2025 at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, 603 Wellington Crescent.


Angus’ 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.

Angus was our neighbour for the past 5 years. We will miss seeing him and his frequent trips to Enns Brothers in Morris. He was always there to lend a helping hand to our family, or to come over for a quick visit. He was a very funny guy and I'll never forget when I first met him and joked about getting rid of our dog because he was an escape artist, the next day we went over and he was already on the phone with someone trying to find him a new home. We all laughed when I was quick to tell him we weren't serious.

Rest in Peace Angus

Jon! I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Knowing how close you and your dad were makes this even harder. May his memory be a blessing to you and may you find comfort in the love and memori you shared. Sending you love and strength.

On behalf of our family, we offer our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Dad. We were so shocked to hear of his passing! Our dad (Cornie) really enjoyed working for Angus all those years and we really appreciated how he kept in touch with Dad even after Dad retired. He especially appreciated the time Angus came to pick him up, complete with a trailer for his scooter, to spend the day at the Austen Thresherman's Reunion! They always had a lot of good laughs when they got together. Please know that we hold you in our thoughts and our prayers!

Angus was a good friend when we farmed close to him in Dufrost. The use of his shop and always room to park our red machinery out back. He was always therewith a helping hand. I served on a Board with Angus, he was a no nonsense, no BS type of guy. He will be missed. Our condolences to the whole Dundas family. 🙏

I have known Angus's all my life but the last few years Angus let me store grain in his bins in his yard so have seen a lot of Angus and have enjoyed history about his life, the area,machinery talk, farm talk and of course the bantering back and forth, always left with a smile. Miss you my friend, see you on the other side.

My earliest memories of Angus lie in the period of time when Peggy and I were starting our life together at Calgary, and, of course, probably, he just drove over from the farm to Calgary in the dead of bitter winter, that's what all the Dundas brothers do, excepting Barry..

 

Any time Angus came along to us, wherever over the years, there were always lavish generous gifts, This, as everyone in our families knows, is something the twins in particular did and do.,,This generosity is a Dundas family trait, and it is through Angus in the beginning I first experienced this joy..

 

Angus was just gifted, I think. One early winter visit at Calgary, probably a Christmas before his marriage and before children, he and I cross-country skied around the water rerservoir at Glenmore. He had never done this before. He just put the rented skis on and did it. It was bitterly cold.. No problem., We had one of Peggy's great feasts after that,, What a great day, what a great brother -in-law!

 

On another summer visit, he brought us a sundial for our garden. We still have it, in use on a balcony as a table in the latest condo.

 

Angus was also I think, a very good cook, and,so when we were with him, in Calgary or Winnipeg, there was a lot of fun eating fudge.

 

In particular.,In Winnipeg,there was a lot of fun talking about design too, especiaally considering the fine finished carpentry he put into one of the Kingston Row houses.

 

I always loved being on the farm with him,...just watching the action, learning how one runs a farm, learning what one has to know how to do, to earn a living this way. On one visit, one of those very beautiful green Manitoba mornings perhaps July, the crops had not begun to turn, he threw our breakfast together and was out in the yard, walking around everything with a coffee, and, then, gone, on to his land pretty much untl supper time, back in the house, Peggy probaly cooked, it was all lovely. With nothing said, you could see by all the things around him, who he really was.

 

So, we did not get lucky enough to be around Angus an awful lot over the years, because all of you were in Manitoba, and Peggy and I were elsewhere, that said, I knew him well enough to love him dearly, and I am very sad that he has gone..

I will truly miss Angus. We shared a common bond by having 8850s on the farm. I will miss our conversations about his past and his latest purchase or build whenever He came into Enns Bros. The knowledge I gained I will always cherish. Condolences to the whole Family

It was my great fortune and pleasure to enjoy dinners with the Dundas family. Peggy would take me home on my days off from nursing school. Angus was always a good friend to his sister and to me.

The image of Angus for me is a gentle soul, hard workin, living his values, close to the land.

Angus was always supportive and a good friend to his sister Peggy who is my dear friend of 65 years.

Angus will be missed by many and never forgotten!

Our sincere condolences to Jennifer and Jonathan and the Dundas families.

Angus was always a dear friend of our family, and a willing, helping neighbour when help was needed. We remember him for being a friend, a colourful character, a great local historian, and for never being at a loss for a story or opinion. Rest in Peace Angus.
