Alfred Gerard Bonik

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Alfred Gerard Bonik, late of Marquette, MB and formerly of Shellbrook, SK, on July 24, 2023 at the age of 64 years old. Alfred will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his siblings: Sylvia Kisiloski (Len), Carol Markling (Dave), Irene Abraham, and Janet Hartman (Neil); his nephew Rick Bonik (Kim) and children Bria and Ava; his nieces Amy Tergesen and children Jamie and Kevin, Candace Bonik and children Roy, Chris and Logan; extended family Karin Adams-Mueller (Quido), Serina Adams and children Justin and Derrick, along with many other relatives and friends.

Alfred was predeceased by his parents, Gustav and Stella Bonik, his grandparents Gotlieb and Karoline Bonik and Jacob and Mary Tenz, his brothers Richard Bonik and Kenneth Bonik.

Alfred was born and raised with his six siblings in Shellbrook, SK and moved to Manitoba when he was a teenager to live with his brother Richard. He worked as a labourer for many years but was best known for always lending a helping hand to anyone in need. He loved hosting family dinners and visiting over drinks.

Special thanks to Justin Slegers for the loving support he provided for Alfred over his last few years.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday August 26, 2023 1:00 p.m. at Starbuck Community Hall 25 Main St. Starbuck, MB.
