In Loving Memory of Jeffrey Turner It is with heavy hearts that Clint, Laura and Allison Turner announce the sudden passing of their son and brother Jeffrey Ryan Mackenzie Turner. A tragic snowmobile accident occurring at Falcon Lake Manitoba took his young life on January 25th, 2009. Born March 10th,1989 Jeff had the talent of touching the hearts of everyone he met. Jeffrey was a quiet, thoughtful, and caring person. His love of life, family and friends was always expressed louder through his actions then his words. Jeffrey excelled in all sports that he participated in. These sports included hockey, gymnastics, little rocks curling, diving, sailing, fishing, dirt biking, snowmobiling, and especially downhill skiing. He recently passed the level one CSIA Ski Instructors Course and his PADI Scuba diving certification. From a young age Jeff spent his summers in Falcon Lake, Manitoba and Sudbury, Ontario. Jeffrey graduated from Hammarskjold High School in 2007. He then went on to study carpentry at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary. Jeffrey was currently a carpentry apprentice for Alec Young and Associates at Falcon Lake. Jeffrey is received in Heaven by his grandmother Edna Fogle and neighbour Frieda Putter. Jeffrey is survived by his parents Clint and Laura and his sister Allison, whom will forever hold his memory close to their hearts. Jeffrey will be sadly missed by his Grandparents Harvie and Gayle Turner (Winnipeg) Aunts and Uncles: Barb and Dave Bull (Sudbury) Louis Fogle (Kitchener) Doug and Judy Turner (Winnipeg) Lori and Paul Howarth (Winnipeg) Robert and Linda Turner (Winnipeg), John Turner (Winnipeg) and by his numerous cousins and neighbours Monika and Willie Putter.
