FREDERICK DENIS WILLIAMS

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Frederick Denis Williams (who preferred to go by Dennis) on Thursday August 28th, 2025 in Grace hospital ICU, with family by his side. 

Dennis was born in Ste Rose Du Lac on April 30th, 1949. He spent his childhood on the farm and moved to the St James area of Winnipeg in 1956. Dennis had a varied career, working at Deer Lodge Hospital, Wawanesa Insurance, and retiring from the Society for Manitobans in 2007. He was a handyman at heart, enjoying projects and fixing broken things. Dennis had an appreciation for classic cars, and put that to good use restoring a 1969 GTO convertible. With a military background in the family, he encouraged his sons to join cadets, and took immense enjoyment in their participation. Dennis spent many happy years in the cottage at Moose Lake enjoying good food and drink with family and friends. He loved snowbirding to Texas and Mexico to escape the Manitoba winter.

Dennis was predeceased by his father George Williams; mother Helen (née Nieman). He is survived by his sisters, Veldine (Ed) and Iris (Clyde); his sons, Jason (Nicole) and Kristian; ex-wife Heather; as well as countless nieces, nephews, family and friends.

The family would like to thank Tricia for her presence and support, and extend our appreciation to the entire staff at the Grace Hospital ICU including Robyn, Ruth, Ruby, Kortelyn, Courtney, Nev, Dr Friesen, and Dr. Peter for their tireless care and understanding.

A celebration of life will be planned at a later date and updates will be available. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Grace Hospital foundation. 

Dennis’ 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.
