Kenneth Gus Kawa

Kenneth Kawa, 65, of Creighton, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2024, at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon following a brief illness.

Born in Minnedosa, Manitoba, in 1959, Kenneth led a diverse and industrious life. His career journey spanned several fields, including construction, trucking, and oil drilling, from Texas to the Arctic Circle, alongside his father. Kenneth’s work ethic and dedication ultimately led him to a fulfilling 33-year career as an underground heavy-duty mechanic for HudBay.

Kenneth’s life took him to various places before settling in Creighton, Saskatchewan, where he made a lasting impact both professionally and personally. He first moved to Snow Lake, Manitoba, with his wife Lolita for a brief period in the early years of his career with HudBay before finding his permanent home in Creighton. 

Kenneth’s life was marked by his love for fishing, working outdoors, going on road trips with his loved ones, and sharing various stories of his life with a humorous outlook. 

Kenneth is survived by his beloved wife Lolita and three children: son Lloyd, and daughters Kristal and Khariz. He is also survived by his siblings Sharon and Lawrence Toews of Crawford Bay, BC., Sheila and Doug Kent of Carmen, MB., Kathy Rowe of Lake Metigoshe, MB., and his brother Richard and Bettina Kawa of Edmonton, AB. Conjointly, he will be dearly missed by all his brother and sister in-laws and their families from the Philippines, United States, and Dubai. 

He leaves behind cherished memories as a father, husband, brother, uncle, and tito.

Kenneth’s legacy is his dedication to his work, his passion for fishing and golfing, and the love he shared with his family. His presence will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew him.

At Kenneth’s request, no funeral service will be held. 

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. 

Martens Warman Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the care and arrangements for Kenneth Kawa.
