GERALD
RICHARD PRETTIE
JANUARY
10, 1974 – JULY 23, 2014
Suddenly, after
hanging on for almost three days, we regret to announce the death of Gerald
Richard Prettie, better known to everyone as Pon, on Wednesday, July 23, 2014
at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 40 years.
Left to forever cherish
Pon’s memory are his mother Anita Parker; step-father William Parker; step-mother
Rose Prettie; sisters Crystal Gunn, Misty-Ann Prettie (Doug), Charman Prettie, Alexis-Jerri
Prettie, and Bobbie-Jo Parker; brother William Parker; daughters Abby-Gail
Richard (Nikko), Caitlin Purdy, Catrina Purdy, and Raven Prettie; sons Gerald
Richard and Richard Wyss; grandchildren Nevaeh, Jace, and Jessari; girlfriend
Melanie Williams; as well as by numerous aunts; uncles; nieces; nephews;
cousins; and friends. He was predeceased by his father Gerald Ross Prettie;
sister Valerie-Jane Delaronde; grandfather Richard Prettie; grandmothers Ramona
Prettie and Lena Delaronde; Godmother Valerie Lavallee; as well as numerous
aunts; uncles; cousins; and friends.
Pon made a lot of bad
choices in life and always regretted hurting the people that meant a lot to
him. When he was in good space, Pon would help in any way he could, he was
always good to share a laugh with; Pon had a great laugh! His witty no-holds
barred commentary is something that will be greatly missed; he had a nickname
for everybody. Pon lived in Winnipeg and
was very talented in sports and drawing.
On Thursday, July 31, 2014 Pon’s Funeral Service will be
held at 10:30 a.m. in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street @ Manitoba
Avenue, Winnipeg. A reception will follow at 1:30 p.m. in the Indian and Metis
Friendship Centre, 45 Robinson Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. He will be buried
with his Father in Brookside Cemetery at a later date.
Special thank you to
the Surgical Intensive Care Unit doctors, nurses and staff for the care they
provided.

Something
Pon knew all too well…
”It’s always harder to be left behind than to
be the one to go.”
