OBITUARY

Christopher John Stebeleski passed away October 11, 2022, at the age of 57. Chris was born in 1965 and was raised by his parents Don and Lil Stebeleski, of Happy Haven Charolais, on a farm southwest of Oakburn, Manitoba, along with his siblings Glenda and Kevin. Chris attended school in Oakburn and Rossburn, then went on to attend Assiniboine Community College taking an automotive technician course.

Chris had a true love of cattle and horses. He was involved in 4-H Beef Club and became skilled in grooming and showing animals. Because he enjoyed working with cattle, he found employment as a herd manager and worked on several large farms in

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. His last job was at Cattlex in Hamiota, before his health issues prevented him from working.

Chris had kidney related health problems since birth and endured many medical procedures including a kidney transplant. Through them all, he continually kept a sense of humour and didn’t complain.

Chris married Arlene Twerdochlib in March 1991 and later proudly adopted Amber as his daughter. In July 1996, his son Cody was born and this brought the greatest joy to him. After the kids were grown, Chris and Arlene went their own ways and Chris grew in his faith with the Lord. In 2009, Chris married Cecile Foulds and they lived in Oakburn for 10 years until Cece’s passing in November 2019.

In the fall of 2021, Chris moved to

Hamiota to be closer to his church family and friend Wanda Smith. Chris and Wanda became great companions.

Chris was diagnosed with cancer in September this year and was taken to be with the Lord on October 11th.

He was pre-deceased by his father Don Stebeleski, wife Cece and infant nephew Curtis. Chris made friends easily and took pleasure in always lending a helping hand to others when he could. He will be missed by so many. Left to cherish his memories are his mother Lil Stebeleski, brother Kevin (Crystal), sister Glenda Sidoryk (Brian), daughter Amber Bruesch (Steven), son Cody (Chanel), Cece’s daughter Diana and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren.
