In Loving Memory of

MARWIN SUMMERS

At the age of 84

Surrounded by his family, Marwin Summers peacefully passed away on September 22, 2022.

Marwin was predeceased by Janet, his loving wife of 38 years, in 1998. He is survived by his devoted partner Carol, of 23 years; daughters Lisa (Albert) and Maureen; Stepsons Ken (Heather), Allan (Heather); Grandchildren, Riley, Luke (Sydney), Ryan, Mitch, Jina (Gabe), Dylan, Aly (Tyler), Darrian; Sisters Doris and Irene; Sister in law Carol and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brother Ken in 2002 and Sister in Law Glenda in 2009.

Dad was born in Powassan, ON and loved to share stories about his youth and very colourful career.

He was a Forest Ranger, Heavy duty equipment operator, Long distance Truck driver, and Mechanic just to name a few.

He played hockey, and curled in his younger days but his true passion was fishing. There he was a “Master“.

Dad’s favourite place was Poplar Bay Resort, and was very lucky to spend 40+ years there fishing and spending time with friends.  He was the envy of the park with his stringers full of walleye.

He will be forever remembered for calling out an invite of “Cold Beer Here!” to anyone passing by.  His cabana was the place to be and full of guests for happy hour and Karaoke.

To my cousin Tanis Lambert, once again you were our rock, your support, love and dedication to us means more than you can ever know. We love you. Thank you so much.

Our family would like to thank Ken Mantik for his unconditional friendship, support and love for Dad.

We would also like to express our gratitude to the Palliative Care team for their support and patience, and to MAID, for their compassion and swift response granting Dad his final wish. Your amazing people.

On the morning of his passing, we gathered around Dad and he looked at us and said.

“Thank you for loving me, love and look after each other”

“Oh Forever More”

Celebration of Life will take place on Nov 19, 2022
