Garry Urbanovitch

Garry John Urbanovitch, age 60, of East Selkirk, Manitoba, passed away on January 14, 2026.

Garry was a good man—stubborn in the way that meant he knew who he was, hardworking in everything he did, and deeply caring in ways that didn’t always need words. He lived life on his own terms and stood by the people he loved with quiet dedication.

He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Family mattered to Garry, and he showed that through action—by fixing, building, showing up, and doing what needed to be done.

Garry had a fondness for the simple pleasures in life: a cold Labatt Blue, long Harley rides, backyard engineering projects, and tackling yard work for his wife—often with his own unique solutions. He was happiest with his hands busy and a project underway. He also deeply loved his dog, Piper, who was a constant companion and brought him comfort and more joy than he’d probably admit.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Louise LeGras; his sons Cole (Sarah) and Landace; his cherished grandchild Avery; and his stepchildren Jenn, Sam, Matt, and Arielle; step-grandchildren Melody and Nicholas. He is also survived by his sisters Debbie (Mike), Diane (Pat), and Mary, along with extended family and friends.

Garry was predeceased by his brother Wayne, his parents Joyce and John, and his nephew Blair.

A service to honor Garry’s life will be held on Friday, January 23rd at 1:00 p.m. in the Gilbart Funeral Chapel. The service will be livestreamed via the following link https://youtube.com/live/_HaNPGaRySk

Garry will be remembered for his strength, his loyalty, his stubborn determination, and the steady presence he was to those who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed.
