It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful death of Jack Boyda on January 30, 2024 at the age of 84 years.

Jack leaves to mourn his children Carey Boyda, Jackleen Murray and Renee Boyda, their respective spouses and partners, grandchildren Wyatt Watson, Ashtyn Burland and Bryce Boyda, their respective spouses and partners, siblings Margaret Pokornik, Bill Boyda, Jim Boyda, David Boyda and Elaine Shack, their respective spouses and partners, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and dear friends.

Jack was predeceased by his beloved wife Rhoda, parents Stefan and Ruth Boyda, siblings Richard Boyda and Brenda McCaughan.

Jack resided in Headingley, Manitoba and was always willing to lend a hand to a neighbour, go for a coffee and catch up on the local news, or fix the various old cars owned by friends and family in his shop. Jack was also an avid fisherman and enjoyed many weekends at the lake with family and friends.

Jack remained close friends with those he worked with over the years at the City of Winnipeg Public Works Department and Taillieu Construction. Many thanks to the boys whom would always reach out and put a smile on Jack’s face.

A private interment will be held at Holy Trinity Cemetery in Headingley.
