Sidney David Wolfman

Sid was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on November 6, 1942, and spent his entire life in the city he loved. Raised in Garden City in Winnipeg’s North End, he later made his home in the south end of the city, where he remained deeply connected to family and friends, throughout his life.

Sid was predeceased by his parents, Harry and Belle Wolfman, and by his brother, Charles Wolf.

He leaves to cherish his memory his brother, Alan Wolfman; his children, Gary Wolfman (Brenda), Michael Wolfman (Jennifer), Charlene Paquin (Tyler), and Kelly Wolfman; and his beloved grandchildren, Liam and Brynn, Addison and Brianna, and Emma and Aidan. He is also remembered by his nephews, extended family members, and countless friends, many of whom shared decades of friendship with him.

Throughout his life, Sid held many jobs, but his true calling was as a jeweler. He was the proud owner of Sidney C. Stevens Jewelers, a business through which he built lasting relationships with customers and colleagues. Even after the store closed, his passion for the trade never waned, and he continued working in the jewelry business almost until the very end of his life.

Those who knew Sid will remember his sneaky grin, his unmistakable chuckle, and his ability to make people feel welcome. He was a humble and modest man who never sought attention, yet naturally drew people to him. Friendship was one of the great joys of his life. Nothing made him happier than gathering with friends over an early morning coffee, sharing stories, laughter, and the simple pleasure of good company.

Sid’s life was defined not by titles or accomplishments, but by the relationships he built and the loyalty he showed to those around him. He will be deeply missed by his family, his many friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

The family extends its gratitude to the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and the staff of the St. Boniface Hospital Emergency Department for the care, compassion, and respect they showed Sid during his final hours.

Though he is gone, the memories, laughter, and friendship he shared will remain with those who loved him forever.

Sid will be missed by many and forgotten by none.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Sid on Friday, November 6, 2026 at Rae and Jerry's Restaurant from 2-5 pm.
