We are devastated to learn of the tragic death of ABF contributor and friend Sheldon Kostenko (aka PacNu). Words can’t really express how we are feeling right now. Our sincere condolences to his family and his many friends in the 204.
Sheldon was an amazing guy who could light up a room with his energy and who loved the Bombers/Jets as much as anyone we know. He will be missed by the many people who called him a friend.
Statement from his family:
“The family of Sheldon Kostenko (Born in Winnipeg on March 2, 1978) are saddened to learn of the sudden death of their beloved son, brother and uncle this past Saturday December 3, 2010.
Sheldon is survived by his mother (Louise), father (Nick), twin sister (Sandra) and niece (Jaden), and extended family members who share their grief.
The family is currently unaware of details pertaining to Sheldon’s tragic death, other than the news announcement released by the Winnipeg Police Department.
Sheldon will be remembered as a caring, generous young man who loved life, family and friends. He was an avid sports and fitness enthusiast, and for the past several years has worked as a supported living counsellor for people with disabilities.
A private family service will held in coming days, and family members wish to extend their appreciation to those who have extended condolences at this difficult time.
