      It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "DOUGLAS ALLAN PALUK; Born: Dec 22, 1966; Date of Passing: Jul 29, 2017; Peacefully on July 29 with his family around him, Doug went to a peaceful and pain free place. Doug fought hard for a year and we are very honoured to have had the extra tim".e with him. Doug leaves us to cherish his smile, many stories told and memories, his wife of 28 years, Merle, his daughter Jasmine, the apple of his eye, and his son Jesse, a chip of the old block. Doug was so very proud of and loved his children dearly. His sister-in-law Shelley (Kyle) Flitcroft, his brother Jeffery (Crystal), his brother-in-law Gerald Nobiss, his nephew Joshua Nobiss, his nieces, Meagan, Chelsea, Cassidy Nobiss and Angel Bickerton. Many aunts, uncles and cousins. Kelvyn and Kevin Knor who he loved to bug and they loved it and gave it right back to uncle Doug. Doug was predeceased by his parents, Allan and Barbara, his grandparents, Frank and Phyllis, Joseph and Mary Swirsky, his uncle Ken Albert, and his cousin Dale Swirsky. Doug was born and raised on the farmstead in Komarno and remained there until his passing. Doug's life has been full of many adventures and achievements. Through his years of work he had the privilege to see many places, Ontario, Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, the Artic (Spence Bay, Gjoa Haven) and Northern Manitoba. Through this he has lived a life dream of driving truck and running equipment. Being away from home was normal but always enjoyed coming home and having many get togethers with family and friends. He always had a bonfire going, he loved the wood smoke wafting through the yard. After many years away from home he decided it was time for a retirement job, which was with Fridfinnson Ent. This enabled him to be home with his family. This job abled him to go back to farming and fixing machinery which he loved to do as a young man. Those guys there always had a good time and we spent many evenings over supper laughing about his day. Doug had many passions but the one that filled his heart the most was hunting. Through his years of hunting he was a member of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation and Teulon Game and Fish Association, where he organized the annual Deer Head scoring competition evening and was taught to score horns himself. Doug's passion for hunting has yielded him many trophies and awards, for deer, caribou and bear. He was honoured to win a trip to Glovers Lake for a caribou hunt in 2002 at the Wildlife dinner and dance held in Winnipeg. Last year when we found out he was sick, he decided to fulfill a few more dreams. One was to build a teepee which he got to use on our trip to Paint Lake, and his other dream was a moose hunt with his cousin Kenny Albert. Doug was able to make both those dreams come true. Doug has made many friends through the years but there were a few that meant everything to him. He wanted these friends to be his Honorary Pallbearers. Bruce (Mona) Simcoe, Glenn (Gaby) Nazimek, Jeff Tomchak, Les (Tina) Becker, Kelly (Lana) Knor, John Stutsky (Sherri Duncan), Darrell (Doreen) Tomchak, Todd (Crystal) Campbell, Phil (Melissa) MacDonald, Joe (Jackie) Nosaty, Eugene (Amy) Klochko, Mike (Kathy) Simcoe, Tim (Sue) Swaikowski, Don (Helen) Slavuta, John (Roberta) Dawson, and Tony Kiskan. Doug loved the fall time, that was his favourite time of the year. The smell of grain being harvested, the colours of the trees, hunting season around the corner. So to honour him, if you so choose to, camouflage and blue were his favourite colours. Thank you to Laura and Lindsey from Cancer Navigation for all your knowledge and support. A special thank you to Dr. Loudon and his staff for your compassion, knowledge and seeing us in a minute's notice. A very special thank you to Shelly and Kyle for just being there to help with absolutely everything, no matter what it was. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Green Acres Art Centre Inc., Box 545, Teulon, MB R0C 3B0 or to Hull's Haven Border Collie Rescue, in care of 88 McAdam Street, Winnipeg, MB R2W 0A4, (www.hullshaven.org). Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 12, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at the Komarno Community Hall. Pastor Dan Schmelski will officiate. Ken Loehmer Funeral Services 204-886-0404
