Rae Stoetzel passed away peacefully on July 9, 2023 at St. Boniface Hospital, with his partner, Soile, and his family at his side.

 

Born Vernon Rae Stoetzel on May 1, 1958, Rae was a trucker, though his passion was photography. He loved to take pictures, pose as a model for colleagues, and participate in photography workshops when his schedule would allow. 

 

Cremation has taken place. A small family memorial is planned.

​

Rae, you are gone too soon!
