CONDREN REX KEATINGE August 7, 1947 - August 27, 2004 Con passed away suddenly at his residence in Grand Marais, MB. He was predeceased by his father Rex in February 2002. He is survived by his mother Myra; Valerie; Aunt Eileen and Uncle Jim Miller; cousins, Kevin (Karen) with son Craig, and Glenn. Con was born and raised in St. James and began his career with the North Kildonan Police Department in December 1966. It was during those years that the N.K. Police Chief proclaimed that Rex was a more appropriate name for a police office, so Con became known to the members of the Department as Rex. Following amalgamation of the Police Departments, Rex served in the Robbery and Homicide Unit, Internal Affairs, and the Traffic Division of the Winnipeg Police Service. He was also involved in several high profile joint operations with the RCMP. He was the recipient of the Police Exemplary Service Medal in 1988 and retired in 1994 at the rank of Staff Sargent. Rex was held in high regard by many members of the Judiciary and Legal System - a relationship he cherished. Following his retirement, Rex worked for the TD Bank Security Office. In 1997, he moved to Grand Marais to be near the beach he enjoyed so much as a child. Shortly after his move, he began working for the Department of Justice, Province of Manitoba. At the time of his passing, Rex was also co-owner of the Grand Sands Motor Inn. Rex had many true and loyal friends whose companionship he loved. Many thanks to all of you for your support during this most difficult time. Rest in Peace Con Flowers are gratefully declined.
