GEORGE HENRY HAWES

Bizhiki Ogima "Buffalo Leader"

September 22, 1957 - January 30, 2026

-Age 68-

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of George Hawes, our Buffalo Leader who was husband to Donna "Stevenson" Hawes; father to Gregory (Aimee), Jeffery (Laurie), and Bryan (Courtney).

George dedicated his life to his family, both immediate and extended. George particularly devoted himself to loving and supporting his grandchildren Summer, Brooke, Mason, Clara, Aiden, and Avery.

George did not limit sharing his gifts of love and support to his immediate family, it branched out to his siblings, in - laws, nieces, nephews, and their children and grandchildren.

George also developed lifelong relationships and a vast number of acquaintances who highly respected and cared for him. During George's 30-year career with the Selkirk Steel mill(Gerdau) he was also highly regarded, not only as a colleague and Union Representative, but someone who was always there to provide support, guidance, and mentorship.

George's presence will be deeply missed by many - his legacy of authentic openness, acceptance, honesty, and humour will be imprinted on all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

A celebration of life for George will take place on February 13, 2026 at the Selkirk Community Church, 6569, Hwy 9 (Selkirk bypass), St. Andrews MB. 1:00 PM - 4:30PM.
