KENNETH
RAYMOND HORDICHUK
June 16, 1943 - December 20, 2023
Peacefully on December 20, 2023, Kenny
took his last breath in Maple Ridge, BC at
the age of 80.
He is survived by his children, Aaron
(Chelsea), Alisha, his granddaughters,
Cali and Chloe along with several fur
grandkids that he adored. Also
survived by siblings, Ramona, Elizabeth,
Iris and Francis (Jocelyn).
Kenny was a very talented drummer and was
in many well known Manitoban bands
throughout his life. His love of
music was always present in his home with
music always playing and sharing stories
of his "band days". For those that
knew Kenny well, those stories were never
dull. For many years Kenny took
pride in building the family cottage in
Belair, MB. He put his blood, sweat
and tears into "Villa Costa Lotta" from
the 1980s until he decided to make the
move to Maple Ridge, BC in 2016 to be
closer to his son and daughter-in-law.
In Kenny's later years he experienced
several significant medical difficulties
and met them all with a fighting spirit,
including cancer TWICE! He
maintained his determination and desire
to, "make it until 80, then I can go".
Well Dad, you did
it! Well done!
A small Celebration of Life is being held
in Winnipeg for Kenny's birthday -
Saturday, June 15.
