    7. [S1354] Obituary of Eugene Morely MANCHAK, (Name: Value Cremations; Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Date: 11 Jul 2024;).
      Eugene Morely Manchak
      November 8, 1957 - July 8, 2024

      It is with great sadness that the family of Eugene Morely Manchak announces his passing on July 8th, 2024 at the age of 66 after a short battle with lung cancer.

      He will lovingly be remembered by his children, Levi (Jessica), Danielle [sic] (Sean) and Katelyn; his brother, Gordon (Bonnie), sister, Violet as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

      Eugene was predeceased by his parents, Allen [sic] and Adeline Manchak and his sister, Elaine Sekora.

      Eugene loved the outdoors, and the peace he found in nature. He could often be found teaching others how to forage for mushrooms and other wild herbs, fishing, hunting or just taking a long walk in beautiful surroundings. Eugene found his passion of sharing his knowledge of the natural world with others through Alberta Outdoorsmen, where he often submitted pictures, articles and advice to those who sought out his expertise.

      "This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." - John Muir

      In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy can be made to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation in Eugene's name.
