Lawrence Dyck
With great sadness, the family of Lawrence Dyck announce his passing on April 2, 2025, at the age of 80 years. Lawrence is beloved husband to Tammy Dyck, father to Barbara (Mario) Osorio and Jennifer (Calvin) Braun, and grandfather to Aaron, Emiliano, and Gabriela Osorio and Tayech Braun.
He also leaves to mourn his siblings Harold (Lesia) Dyck, Dorothy (Warren) Earl, Anthony (Joyce) Dyck, and Corinne (Ray) Peters, Aunt Susan (Ernie) Winther, and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his youngest daughter Naomi, and his parents Anton and Annie Dyck.
Lawrence grew up north of Myrtle attending Myrtle school and Roland Collegiate. He was a farmer at heart and started farming at age 18 but continued his education in farm business management and accounting. He started preparing tax returns for farmers with the Manitoba Farmer’s Union in 1966 and worked for the union for two years. He later used this experience and knowledge to start his own tax consulting business, Dyck Tax Consulting, which he officially retired from on December 31st, 2024. In 1976 he and his wife Tammy started a farm supply business. They operated and grew Kane Agri Services alongside their family farm, eventually selling the business in 1994. He worked hard and played hard too.
Sports were something that Lawrence was always involved in. In his younger years he played baseball and hockey. He curled, skied and golfed for many years and represented Manitoba at the Canada 55+ Games in Golf. He was an avid supporter of the Winnipeg Jets, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and Winnipeg Goldeyes, often hurrying off the field to attend games. In later years he was his grandchildren’s number one fan, attending as many of their baseball, hockey, curling and soccer games as he could.
Lawrence believed in living his faith in God through acts of service. He demonstrated his commitment to community service in many ways throughout his life. He was a board member for the Roland United Church, Carman Area Foundation and Roland Golf Club. He was also on the local board of the Keystone Agricultural Producers and served on a provincial Water Management Taskforce as their representative. He advocated for no-charge calling between adjacent telephone exchanges, making multiple presentations to the Public Utilities Board until his proposal was accepted.
Above all, family was his number one priority, and his greatest joy and happiness came from time spent with the people he loved. As a child he spent many happy times sleeping over at his Grandma Doell’s house. He met Tammy in 1966, and they were married December 1, 1967. They spent 57 years alongside each other; farming, developing and operating two businesses, raising a family, enjoying travel, golf and other adventures, and supporting each other through difficult times. His warm gentle smile, quiet advice and unwavering support will be deeply and forever missed by his family and friends. Unshakeable faith, strong family values and work ethic will be his legacy to his children and grandchildren.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt expression of gratitude to Dr Greyling, Dr Banerji, Dr Christiansen, and the doctors and nursing staff at the Boundary Trails Health Centre.
We welcome family and friends to join us in paying tribute and celebrating Lawrence’s life on Thursday, April 10th 2pm at the Roland United Church, 66 Third St, Roland, MB.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Carman Area Foundation or the Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation in Lawrence’s memory.
We thank everyone for their generous and thoughtful gifts of food, flowers, and heartfelt messages of care and concern. We also thank Doyle’s Funeral Home for their compassionate service.
