1949 ~ 2019
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Wayne Joseph Gurski, 69 yrs, recently of Great Falls Manitoba.
Wayne is survived by his wife Loreen, sons Kyle and Kory and daughter Sandy, also by his grandchildren Rayette, Kori and Ryder, along with great grandchild Chloe.
Wayne was born in Canora, Saskatchewan, where he grew up on the family farm. He then struck out on his own to see what the world had to offer. Wayne settled in Swan River, where he worked for the SPL lumber mill, for 45 yrs before retiring to his home in Great Falls. While in Swan River he met the love of his life Loreen (Armstrong) whom he married shortly afterwards and had three children, Kyle, Sandy and Kory.
Wayne’s whole life was about working at the mill, where he put in long hours and worked none stop. While there he made many friends along the way. In the early years the family took holidays and traveled out to B.C. to visit relatives. Later in life Wayne and Loreen would visit family in the Lac du Bonnet area, where Wayne enjoyed boating, seadooing and fishing.
A Celebration of Wayne’s Life will be held on January 19 at 2:00 p.m. at Great Falls Community Hall.

Hi Auntie, Kyle, Sandy , Kory & Families. We are so sorry to hear about Uncles passing. Although we have not stayed in touch over past years I have so many fun memories of the times I spent with all of you.
From camping at Madge Lake, Snowmobiling and Rodeo at Swan River . To all the hours we spent playing at the mill climbing log piles, climbing bale piles on farm.
Nikki , myself and are children want to send you all our thoughts and prayers.
Take Care

It was my great honor to have known Wayne and have worked with him for many years. Wayne worked long and hard hours doing the best job he felt he could . It seemed at times working 6-7 days a week wasn’t enough as he felt he could have done more. His heart was always in the right place. To Lorraine and families , there is a hole in your hearts and with time hopefully they will start to heal. Wayne is with dad (Dick) and I can see the two of them driving around checking log piles together. Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. Bob and Lois Walker
