TIMOTHY ALLAN STUART

January 9, 1952 – July 10, 2025

We are so very sad to announce the death of Timothy Allan Stuart, who passed away on July 10, 2025, at the age of 73.

He is survived by his wife Andrea; children, Jessica (Brandan), Thomas (Kate), and Heather (Rachelle); grandchildren, Jasmine, Mackenzie, Oliver, and Alexander; and siblings, Lynn, Jay, Michael, and Jason, as well as their children and grandchildren.

He is predeceased by his grandson, Jackson Timothy Lee; his mother Audrey Stuart (née Malinson); and his father James (Jim) Stuart.

Born on January 9, 1952 to Jim and Audrey Stuart, Tim was the second-born of five children and lived most of his life in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The family first lived in Charleswood, then River Heights and Fort Garry. Tim attended Robert H. Smith Elementary, River Heights Middle, and Kelvin High School (where he was Vice President for a year). He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Manitoba where he was actively involved in the St. John’s College community and made many lifelong friendships.

Tim moved to Toronto to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. It was there that he met Andrea, the love of his life, in January 1977. They were married just over a year later in February 1978 and soon settled in Winnipeg. He began his chiropractic career working in an office on St. Mary’s Road, where he stayed for two years. In 1980, he opened Osborne Chiropractic Office in the heart of South Osborne, where he lived with his growing family for the first two years. Tim would go on to practice there for 39 years until his retirement in 2019.

Parenting, practicing and living in the same community was deeply important to Tim. He was known as a gentle healer who radiated kindness and made every patient feel truly seen and cared for. He and Andrea called Riverview home for over 45 years, living in many houses within the neighbourhood but always rooted in the same welcoming community. Riverview was, and continues to be, a meaningful source of lasting friendships and shared experiences for Tim and his family.

Most of all, Tim was a family man and cared deeply for Andrea and his three children. He was a stellar dad to Jess, Tom and Heather — always present and actively engaged in their lives. He participated in activities, cheered them on at all of their games, and volunteered every first Tuesday of the month in their classrooms. Tim also read aloud to his children far beyond it being cool — they loved it! He was equally involved in the lives of his grandchildren. Gramps will be remembered and so missed by all of them.

Tim was a wonderful role model for his family. He is remembered by all who knew him as thoughtful, caring, and generous—a man whose warm smile and friendly nature meant that no one stayed a stranger for long. He was the kind of person who would strike up a conversation with you in the grocery store line, and you’d be glad he did.

An avid athlete, Tim was passionate about sport—not just for the activity, but for the camaraderie and connection it fostered. He played club volleyball, soccer with “The Rowdies,” and baseball for 15 years with “The Sports Traders,” forging deep friendships that extended beyond the playing field for both he and Andrea. Together, they could often be found going for long walks in the neighbourhood, and even across entire countries—having completed Hadrian’s Wall and Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk across England’s Lake District.

Skiing was another shared joy, and later in life, Tim took up snowboarding with great enthusiasm. For over a decade, the family made annual ski trips to Colorado, Montana, or Canadian slopes. Tim and his snowboarding group affectionately called themselves “Greys on Trays.”

But it was cycling that truly captured Tim’s heart. Together, Tim and Andrea covered thousands of kilometres—cycling the Golden Triangle seven times and exploring challenging routes across Canada and the U.S. They even led group rides out to Folk Fest, were known to peddle 50 kms to Nick’s Inn in Headingley for a Sunday breakfast, and rode 112 km around the Winnipeg Perimeter on Canada Day.

Tim was a voracious reader and a regular user of the local library. He cared deeply about food security, sustainability, and permaculture. He planted trees throughout Riverview—many bearing fruit and nuts for local birds and wildlife—and gardened for years in the community plot across from their home. Tim was a tireless advocate for his community and played an active role in protecting the Baltimore side of the Riverview community gardens throughout the growing season. Tim was also deeply committed to Truth and Reconciliation. He enjoyed participating in the Main Street Project’s Community Walk, was a supporter of Indigenous artists and authors, and attended the monthly decolonizing lens series at the WAG. He was someone who believed in listening, learning, and standing with others.

We plan to put up a little free Library on the front lawn and fill it with books by Indigenous authors. Tim had so many that we know he would want to share. Walk by, take a book and read it before you pass it on to someone else.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to plant a tree in Tim’s memory, or to support causes close to his heart, such as ArtsJunktion MB (https://www.artsjunktion.mb.ca) or the Main Street Project’s Community Walk (https://www.mainstreetproject.ca). Better yet, walk with them — be part of what Tim stood for.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr Pravin Mehta his beloved GP for over 30 years, and the caregivers at Victoria Hospital, Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital for their compassionate care during Tim’s illness. Special thanks to the incredible teams at CancerCare, Home Care, and the Palliative Care staff—all true angels—for their kindness, skill, and unwavering support. Love to the many friends who dropped off food and treats throughout the six months of Tim’s difficult journey. You made it easier for all of us.

As per Tim's wishes, a cremation has taken place. Please join us for an evening to remember Tim together ( with a short program) as we celebrate Tim's life.
