TIMOTHY ALLAN STUART

January 9, 1952 – July 10, 2025

We are so very sad to announce the death of Timothy Allan Stuart, who passed away on July 10, 2025, at the age of 73.


He is survived by his wife Andrea; children, Jessica (Brandan), Thomas (Kate), and Heather (Rachelle); grandchildren, Jasmine, Mackenzie, Oliver, and Alexander; and siblings, Lynn, Jay, Michael, and Jason, as well as their children and grandchildren.


He is predeceased by his grandson, Jackson Timothy Lee; his mother Audrey Stuart (née Malinson); and his father James (Jim) Stuart.


Born on January 9, 1952 to Jim and Audrey Stuart, Tim was the second-born of five children and lived most of his life in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The family first lived in Charleswood, then River Heights and Fort Garry. Tim attended Robert H. Smith Elementary, River Heights Middle, and Kelvin High School (where he was Vice President for a year). He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Manitoba where he was actively involved in the St. John’s College community and made many lifelong friendships.


Tim moved to Toronto to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. It was there that he met Andrea, the love of his life, in January 1977. They were married just over a year later in February 1978 and soon settled in Winnipeg. He began his chiropractic career working in an office on St. Mary’s Road, where he stayed for two years. In 1980, he opened Osborne Chiropractic Office in the heart of South Osborne, where he lived with his growing family for the first two years. Tim would go on to practice there for 39 years until his retirement in 2019.


Parenting, practicing and living in the same community was deeply important to Tim. He was known as a gentle healer who radiated kindness and made every patient feel truly seen and cared for. He and Andrea called Riverview home for over 45 years, living in many houses within the neighbourhood but always rooted in the same welcoming community. Riverview was, and continues to be, a meaningful source of lasting friendships and shared experiences for Tim and his family.


Most of all, Tim was a family man and cared deeply for Andrea and his three children. He was a stellar dad to Jess, Tom and Heather — always present and actively engaged in their lives. He participated in activities, cheered them on at all of their games, and volunteered every first Tuesday of the month in their classrooms. Tim also read aloud to his children far beyond it being cool — they loved it! He was equally involved in the lives of his grandchildren. Gramps will be remembered and so missed by all of them.


Tim was a wonderful role model for his family. He is remembered by all who knew him as thoughtful, caring, and generous—a man whose warm smile and friendly nature meant that no one stayed a stranger for long. He was the kind of person who would strike up a conversation with you in the grocery store line, and you’d be glad he did.


An avid athlete, Tim was passionate about sport—not just for the activity, but for the camaraderie and connection it fostered. He played club volleyball, soccer with “The Rowdies,” and baseball for 15 years with “The Sports Traders,” forging deep friendships that extended beyond the playing field for both he and Andrea. Together, they could often be found going for long walks in the neighbourhood, and even across entire countries—having completed Hadrian’s Wall and Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk across England’s Lake District.


Skiing was another shared joy, and later in life, Tim took up snowboarding with great enthusiasm. For over a decade, the family made annual ski trips to Colorado, Montana, or Canadian slopes. Tim and his snowboarding group affectionately called themselves “Greys on Trays.”


But it was cycling that truly captured Tim’s heart. Together, Tim and Andrea covered thousands of kilometres—cycling the Golden Triangle seven times and exploring challenging routes across Canada and the U.S. They even led group rides out to Folk Fest, were known to peddle 50 kms to Nick’s Inn in Headingley for a Sunday breakfast, and rode 112 km around the Winnipeg Perimeter on Canada Day.


Tim was a voracious reader and a regular user of the local library. He cared deeply about food security, sustainability, and permaculture. He planted trees throughout Riverview—many bearing fruit and nuts for local birds and wildlife—and gardened for years in the community plot across from their home. Tim was a tireless advocate for his community and played an active role in protecting the Baltimore side of the Riverview community gardens throughout the growing season. Tim was also deeply committed to Truth and Reconciliation. He enjoyed participating in the Main Street Project’s Community Walk, was a supporter of Indigenous artists and authors, and attended the monthly decolonizing lens series at the WAG. He was someone who believed in listening, learning, and standing with others.


We plan to put up a little free Library on the front lawn and fill it with books by Indigenous authors. Tim had so many that we know he would want to share. Walk by, take a book and read it before you pass it on to someone else.


In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to plant a tree in Tim’s memory, or to support causes close to his heart, such as ArtsJunktion MB (https://www.artsjunktion.mb.ca) or the Main Street Project’s Community Walk (https://www.mainstreetproject.ca). Better yet, walk with them — be part of what Tim stood for.


The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr Pravin Mehta his beloved GP for over 30 years, and the caregivers at Victoria Hospital, Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital for their compassionate care during Tim’s illness. Special thanks to the incredible teams at CancerCare, Home Care, and the Palliative Care staff—all true angels—for their kindness, skill, and unwavering support. Love to the many friends who dropped off food and treats throughout the six months of Tim’s difficult journey. You made it easier for all of us.


As per Tim's wishes, a cremation has taken place. Please join us for an evening to remember Tim together (with a short program) as we celebrate Tim's life.

I am a part of all that I have met;

Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’

Gleams that untravelled world

Whose margin fades

Forever and forever when I move.

The river trail won't be the same knowing that we won't run into you both there! I will always be grateful for Tim's eagerness to include Paul in the conversation while we talked education. You two remain the best examples of happilly wedded retired living that we know and Paul and I hope to meet each day with the same joy de vivre that you and Tim exemplified daily when our time comes. I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing Andrea.

Just hearing this now, and so sorry. I always thought I would see Tim again. I was one of his clients, and he was such a joy to visit. I used to leave drawings on post-it notes in his office and we had a lot of laughs over them. He was a sweetie, and will be missed.

Dear Andrea, Jess, Tom, Heather and Families,

I am so very sorry for your loss and grateful for the 35+ years of happy memories made with Tim and your wonderful family. Of all those memories, I keep thinking back to the pool parties that your family would host for Jessie's and my elementary school classes at your beautiful home on Fisher Street. Tim was so happy and such an amazing dad. Put simply, he was the best; the best dad, husband, friend, neighbour, chiropractor, etc. Tim was a role model for all and the world is truly a better place thanks to him. I will miss him very much and am sending you my love and comfort. ❤️

Dear Andrea

 

I am sending you, Jessica, Thomas, Heather and thier family's our condolences.

We first met Tim as he was my parents, John and Merle Maddison, chiropractor.

We looked forward to seeing Tim, as well as the rest of your family, when his practice was also your home.

Tim looked after our whole family for over 40 years. He was more than Dr. to us, he was a great friend.

I have thought of Tim often since his retirement. He will always be fond memory.

I only met Tim a few Rowdies soccer seasons ago, but always enjoyed the lighthearted competitiveness he brought to the game and the warm friendly greeting each week. His presence was missed this past season during his illness and will continue to be missed by his friends and teammates. Sincere condolences to Tim's family.

Tim was the first person we met when we joined the Riverview Garden Society community. From day one, he was helpful, positive and encouraging. Tim shared his knowledge and experience so generously. He was a huge part of the wonderful community we have come to know and love. We miss Tim and will remember him fondly with our every visit to the gardens. To Andrea and family, we send our sincerest condolences.

Our family has been fortunate to know the Stuart family for more than 30 years. Tim’s love and commitment to his community and his family was evident in all ways he crossed our paths over the years: carrying a camcorder to diligently document every one of his kids’ school concerts, birthday parties and other milestones; providing patient and professional chiropractic care. He clearly instilled his compassion, integrity, and deep caring for others in his children. Andrea, Jess, Tom, and Heather, our hearts go out to you - may Tim’s memory bring you joy and solace in the coming years.

It has been a pleasure and privilege to have known Tim, even for a short time. So glad we found our distant cousin and enjoyed sharing much about our families, nature and where we live.

Tim's love for Andrea and his family was so evident and a joy to hear about.

I am truly saddened and feel sorry for the loss of such an interesting and good man. We are all the more better for having known him.

I was so shocked to read of Tim's passing. We were chiropractic colleagues for many years and later would run into one another at things like Kelvin High anniversary reunions. He looked like he never aged a bit over the years, and always had that big friendly smile. Such a kind fellow that will live on in the hearts of those he touched. ❤️

When I first moved to the neighbourhood and worked at Pollock's Hardware, Tim was a regular who made me feel like part of the community, and would even bring by some of his home made bread to share. He was always a joy to run into and chat with, and our family will miss seeing him around South Osborne. We'll think of Time wherever we're in our garden at Riverview.

As a neighbor, fellow gardener, and recipient of his chiropractic services that included a liberal dose of delightful chatting, I am gutted to hear of his passing. He was a genuine, caring person who always inspired me to do more for the community and the planet. My sincere condolances to Andrea and the family.

We were given a life gift when we met Tim through one of his many athletic activities.

Tim always showed up to the slow pitch diamond with a smile on his face and joy in his heart.

There are a lot of great memories on the field but even more off. The many years of beers and wings after the games, were filled with laughter and anticks.

The thought of the next social gathering without Tim is unfathomable and breaks our hearts.

Tim, such a good person. Such a wonderful person.

Andrea and family, sincerest condolences.

Tim was a beloved participant on the Main Street Community Walk, bringing his brilliant smile and joyous nature to a large community of volunteers and community residents. He regularly supplied our Walk with an abundance of sage from his community garden, supporting the ceremony and spirituality he shared with us at the beginning of each Walk. His thoughtful nature and generousity of spirit live on in our hearts. Our August 12 walk will be dedicated to Tim and his family, with lasting love and respect.

I remember Tim from high school ( Kelvin) and sports, and was dismayed to read of his passing. Although we lost touch after starting our careers, I remember him as a thoughtful, kindhearted and intelligent guy, with integrity and a sense of concern for his fellow man. Mutual friends who knew Tim echoed the fact that he hadn't changed from his younger years, a general truism about the trajectory of our personalities. His family, friends and community must deplore the seemingly capricious nature of our health outcomes ("life ain't fair!"), and miss his positive contributions to making the world a better place.

To my buddy and long time neighbor Tim. (the sentinel) Pet name for how he kept watch over our cherished garden plots. May the stars be your blanket and the ground your bed. We will indeed plant a tree honoring your family's wishes. Miss you friend.

Tim and I started school together at Robert H. Smith, followed by River Heights Junior High, Kelvin High, University of Manitoba and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, where we graduated together in 1978. I have good memories of him, especially as a very fast runner in primary school.

May his memory be a forever blessing

Tim was warmth and kindness personified. There was always a good conversation to be had with him and a solid hug on greeting and saying goodbye. A truly lovely man.

Cycling a mountain pass requires incredible endurance and a can- do attitude. As a frequent cycle buddy with Tim and Andrea and Paul, and the slow one in the back, I watched Tim with his quick cadence, pedal peak after peak, stopping to wait for me to catch- up, speak words of encouragement, and often reduce his pace so we could conquer together. This is the man he was , not just as a cyclist but as a true mensch.

I attended Robert h smith school with Tim. He was smart, fun, popular and truly empathetic before we used that word. He was an exceptional person. It is great to know he led a happy life as he made a difference with his fairness and lovely smile even at a young age. I am so sorry for his loss to his family, many friends, community neighbours and patients. His impact will be long lasting.

The entire Bell family will miss our dear Tim Stuart. A kind, empathetic, caring, fun loving brother in law, uncle and friend.

To quote John Lewis;

"You must be able and prepared to give until you can give no more. We must use our time and our space on this little planet that we call Earth to make a lasting contribution, to leave it a little better than we found it... and now that need is greater than ever before."

Thank you Tim Stuart.

I was lucky enough to work with Tim for 5 years a long time ago. He was the first person who knew we were adopting our oldest and his office was responsible for our finding our second daughter. He was a wonderful chiropractor and a good friend. He will be missed by so many.

Tim was my chiropracter off and on for many years. I live on Rosedale less than 2 blocks from where his office was. He was such a kind, caring and compassionate person whom you knew would do all he could to help you. After he gave up the prctice, I used to love running into him at Safeway and throughout the neighbourhood. He was a breath of fresh air with that same smile that's in the picture posted here. I'm so saddened to hear of his passing and my heart goes out to all of you: his family and friends. I know he will be so missed. Bless him and all of you.

I met Tim this past year as he walked Mitch's Walk on Main St. I will remember his beautiful energy and kind nature.

I am sorry for your loss and wish you peace knowing that he made an impact even during short encounters.

Its tough to put into words the relationship I shared with Tim. I'd thought to call him this past week to check up on him but my life is still busy. I was extremely saddened of the post of his passing. Wishing I'd reached out more stings me but I know he would just say 'its ok Gerry'! As a bus driver for 26 years id gotten to know Tim very well as I always seemed to need his services. It was never a quick in and out for us as we both enjoyed chatting and catching up. We shared family stories and work stories. I was always concerned that I was imposing on someone else's appointment but he never rushed me out. Last month he'd asked us to replace his garage door opener as he was worried the one he had would cause stress to Andrea once he wasnt there anymore. You really don't want to believe thats going to happen yet it did. I will miss you buddy, and I know this world was a better place with you in it. Rest easy my friend Tim.💗

I never had the honor of meeting Tim, but I have had the privilege of working alongside his remarkable daughter, Dr. Jess. Through her, it is clear what kind of man he must have been. The way she shows up in the world as a devoted wife, mother, friend, and Chiropractor, speaks volumes about the values he and his wife passed down. Compassion, patience, wisdom, humility, and strength live on through her, and it is a legacy that reaches far beyond borders.

To the entire family, I am holding you in my heart as you honor and celebrate Tim’s life. His love and influence are deeply felt, even by those of us who never met him ❤️

Tim you will never be forgotten. You were not only a great chiropractor for me, you offered me support in healing. You took time to listen, never rushed. Living in the area I always knew someone who went to your office. You showed excellence and pure goverend heart to your practice, that is not only skill but a great gift. The great Chiropractors that have bought your old stomping ground have done an amazing job. I hope they stand proud. Lord Robert's and Riverview Community will remember you not only as our go to chiropractor, but as a staple in the area. Your friends,neighbors and Community...Love to your family. We will miss you walking past our business windows.

You have so beautifully captured the essence of Tim- the healer, the husband, the father, the grandfather, the friend, the community member and the man that he was. He leaves a legacy of love and kindness that will live on in his beautiful family. Tim lived large, and was loved by so many.

I cannot say that I knew Tim very well, but I do remember that when I would encounter Tim n Andrea on Churchill Drive ha was always so very friendly, and I've always thought, "What a beautiful open face that man has!"

Also, if Andrea and I would have a word or two about something, Tim would always,with interest, stand back, and quietly wait for us to finish.
