JODY JOSEPH TAURO September 18, 1956 ~ July 16, 2025 Only child of Sergio Tauro and Joy Zegil (deceased), was born in Port Arthur, Ontario. Jody passed away in Hospice at Boundary Trails Hospital, with family by his side, in Winkler, Manitoba.
Survived by his wife Catherine and daughter Katrina Barr (Brad) and grandchildren Farryn and Layne; and family and friends too numerous to mention.
Jody's focus from an early age was survival and "watching out for the underdog." He spent the majority of his life working with children, teens and families striving to help them move forward with a positive outlook and goals for the future. Jody never avoided work, even if he had no previous experience. He was always trying to be useful and helpful.
Jody's unconventional approach to life kept people wondering what he might say or do next! However, no one who took the time to get to know him at his core was ever disappointed in the friend they made in Jody.
Celebration of Life will be held at Winkler Mennonite Church on August 1, 2025, at 11am.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to One Hope Canada - Dorion Bible Camp, or a
Charity of Your Choice, in honour of Jody's lifelong commitment to helping others.
