Antonio Alves

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Antonio (Tony) Alves on July 15, 2025, with his family by his side.

He will be greatly missed by his loving wife Helen, his children Lisa and Anthony, Brother-in-law Andrew, his sister Lizete (Manuel), two nieces Ivete and Lilia, nephew Helder, and numerous friends and family in Winnipeg and Portugal.

He had a great love for the sport of soccer where he played, coached, and refereed along with his son Anthony. Antonio also loved to travel with family especially back home to Portugal where he would spend a few months during the summer.

Tony worked many different jobs during his life from Winnipeg Hydro, Winnipeg Police department where he eventually retired. He later worked for Shell as a way to stay busy.

Dad had a heart of gold always giving a helping hand. From Spring teas at the church, to donating most of the furniture in our Portugal apartment to people who had came from the Ukraine with nothing.

He was an amazing, wonderful man/father who would always be there for you no matter what for hugs, talks or just to listen.
