Obituary of Barry Cords

In Loving Memory of Barry William Cords

Barry William Cords, was born on November 22, 1950, to Allan and Gertrude Cords in Grandview, MB.  He has three siblings; Jim, Brian and Lynn. 

Barry left this world on November 9, 2023, surrounded by the love of his family. A devoted husband to Debbie, proud father to Erinn (James) and Jess (Taryn) , and a cherished grandfather to Bailey (Stan), Charlee, Pierce, and Preston.

Barry was a man of many passions and talents. His love for family was unparalleled, and he found immense joy in the laughter and presence of his grandchildren. Whether fixing things around the house or in the shop, sharing stories of his hunting adventures, Barry's skills were as diverse as his interests.

A lover of bluegrass and country music, Barry's soul was stirred by the melodies that echoed the memories of a life well-lived. He possessed a remarkable work ethic, accomplishing tasks with the diligence and strength of ten men.

Unfortunately, Barry faced a formidable foe in cancer, a battle fought with courage until the end. Despite the challenges, his spirit remained unbroken, and his legacy of resilience lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

To honor Barry's life, let us remember the warmth of his smile, the strength of his character, and the enduring love he shared with his family. May he find eternal peace in the melodies of the heavens.

Thank you to Dr. Dhaliwal and the entire nursing staff at the Riverdale Health Center for the excellent care and compassion shown to Barry and our entire family in his final weeks. 

A Celebration of Barry’s Life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Barry may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 2B7.
