It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our CEO and Owner, George Rajotte.
George was more than a leader—he was the foundation of Western Industrial Services Ltd. & Western Construction Services Inc. Through his vision, hard work, and unwavering dedication, he built companies that stand as a reflection of his integrity and commitment to excellence.
He was deeply respected in both business and the community, known not only for his leadership but for his generosity, wisdom, and genuine care for those around him. George had a way of connecting with people—sharing stories, offering guidance, and bringing laughter to even the busiest days.
His legacy will live on through the companies he built, the relationships he fostered, and the many lives he touched along the way.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him during this difficult time.
In honour of George, we share one of his favourite prayers:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy;
O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
— The Prayer of St. Francis
He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, April 17th at St. Boniface Cathedral at 2:00pm, followed by a reception at Hotel Fort Garry at 4pm. All are welcome.
