DANIEL AURELE JOSEPH ST. GODARD
It is with profound sadness, the family announces the sudden passing of Daniel St. Godard on Sunday August 16, 2020.
Dan was born on November 29, 1966 to Georges and Marie (Dèquier) St Godard in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He attended St Norbert Collegiate and University of Manitoba.
Dan married the love of his life Liz Potrebko, and they recently celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary. He adored and cherished his loving wife and his precious son Josh.

Dan loved, camping, cycling, and walks in his neighbourhood. His depth of character, tolerance, moral compass, love of sports (Montreal Canadiens), passion for life, warmth and kindness made him a treasure to his family, friends and colleagues.
