Obituary for Rolando Bagay
A Life of Service and Dedication

With deep sadness and fond remembrance, we announce the passing of Rolando Bagay, born on July 25, 1940, in Santol Balagtas, Bulacan, Philippines. The beloved son of Juan and Gliceria, and sibling to his 10 brothers and sisters, Rolando grew up in modest circumstances, guided by resilience and a tireless work ethic.

Rolando’s life was a testament to perseverance. He began as a farmer and carpenter, eventually establishing himself as a successful businessman. His commitment to community ran deep—he served as a barangay leader, spent several years as a councillor in his hometown, and was an active president of his local Lions Club, always striving to uplift those around him.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Anita Bagay; his cherished children: Angelita (Voltaire), Eric (Lhida), Maria Magdalena (Romel), and Maria Cecilia (Alvin); as well as his adored grandchildren: John (Aileen), Vincent (Michelle), Therese, Regina, Thomas, and great grandchild Anya. He is also remembered by his loving sibling, Susana.

Rolando was a man who treasured friendship and simple pleasures. He enjoyed early morning walks, fishing, card games, mahjong, and the occasional casino visit. Through the years, his warmth, humour, and generosity gained him a circle of loyal friends and a legacy that will never be forgotten.

He will be missed dearly by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched. His memory will continue to inspire those who knew him, reminding us of the value of hard work, kindness, and service to others.

Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 at 10:00 am, at St. Alphonsus Church, 315 Munroe Avenue. Public Viewing will begin at 9:10 am. Reception to follow in the Church Parish Hall.

A gentle reminder: cemeteries are meant to be peaceful places where families can reflect and remember their loved ones. 🕊️

When visiting, remember to keep voices low, silence your phone, and avoid any loud noises. A quiet, respectful atmosphere helps everyone feel comforted during their time of remembrance.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Paul Marion on July 16, 2025, at age 50, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer.
Paul leaves behind his devoted wife, Tiffany Russell; his parents, Donald and Laurette; his sister, Nicole (Justin) and nieces Janelle and Sophie; his brothers, Marc (Tatyana) and Daniel (Anna); his parents-in-law, Phillip and Lisbeth Russell; brother-in-law, Keegan (Stephanie) and nieces Marni and Sydney; and brother-in-law, Roland (Robyn) and nieces Violet and Allie.
Born and raised in a warm, French-speaking household in Winnipeg, Paul was the second eldest of four siblings. As a spirited child, he was full of energy, excelling in sports, particularly hockey, whether on the ice or in lively street hockey games with neighborhood friends.
A disciplined and humorous student, Paul thrived academically in school and was well-liked for his loyalty, integrity, playful nature and good sense of humour.
At 18, he and his brother Marc embarked on a spiritual journey to Italy, where they embraced religious life for six years. Spending their first two years in L’Aquila, they learned Italian and immersed themselves in the culture. Having learned piano as a child, Paul learned to play the organ for religious services, even playing the pipe organ on occasion. They spent the next four years in Rome, where they studied philosophy and theology, walking daily past the Colosseum and Roman Forum to attend the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum).
After seven years as a religious brother in Quebec, honing new skills, Paul returned to Winnipeg in 2006. He moved back home with his parents, reconnecting with his younger brother Daniel, who enjoyed hanging out with him, and his sister Nicole who helped his transition to lay life.
In 2010, Paul met the love of his life: Tiffany. From that point on, Paul and Tiffany became inseparable as they always enjoyed each other's company and spending lots of time together. They married in 2013, one of the happiest days of their lives, and became veritable "two peas in a pod." Tiffany meant the world to Paul.
Inspired by his father’s career, Paul became a chartered professional accountant in 2014. He balanced work with passions like carpentry and woodworking, reflecting his knack for creativity, precision and perfection.
In August 2023, Paul was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a shock to him and his loved ones. He faced the illness with determination, researching treatments and trials to extend his time with Tiffany, who enveloped him in lots of love, care and affection. Outliving his initial prognosis, Paul passed suddenly and quickly, surrounded in his final hour by his wife, parents, siblings, and mother-in-law.
A private funeral service will be held at a later date.
