Obituary of Dwight Jonathon Jacob FUNK

March 17, 1993 – Winnipeg, Manitoba August 23, 2017 – Calgary, Alberta It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Dwight on Wednesday August 23, 2017 at the age of 24 yrs. Dwight was born in Winnipeg, MB on March 17, 1993. In his short life he lived in Winnipeg and surrounding area, then in Gibsons, Abbotsford, and Mission, BC, finally settling in Calgary in 2002. In Calgary, he attended Catherine Nichols Gunn School, as well as Senator Patrick Burns Junior High School and Van Horne High School. Dwight was recently apprenticing as a plumber with Allstar mechanical on the Telus Sky building. Dwight had a passion for music, loved writing and performing raps with his brother Johnny, and then on his own. In his short life, Dwight connected with many, always able to illicit a laugh or a smile with his outgoing, and sometimes off-the-cuff, personality. He had a true love of animals, and enjoyed his cat “Lucky”, and recently his two newest additions. He enjoyed his “beasts” and was truly able to understand their personalities. In the last year of his life, Dwight worked diligently to overcome and accept the trauma of losing his best friend, his younger brother, Johnny. He wanted to become a man that Johnny would be proud of. Unfortunately, he also battled with missing Johnny extremely, as they were more than brothers. They were best friends who shared too many adventures to mention. Dwight is survived by his parents, Carol and Cam Chomyn, and Dwight Funk Sr.; brothers Joey Funk, and Kyle Chomyn; as well as sisters Amy Chomyn and Nicole Chomyn. On August 23, 2017, Dwight joined his younger brother in paradise. Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Crowfoot, 82 Crowfoot Circle N.W.), on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
