Derek
THORSTEINSON
THE MHBA WAS SADDENED
TO LEARN OF THE PASSING
OF DEREK THORSTEINSON
ON DECEMBER 31, 2020.
For over 30 years, Derek was a leader
in Manitoba's residential construction
industry. A proud and respected member
of the MHBA, Derek served as Chair of
the Board of Directors twice, in 1992/1993
and 2002/2003. In addition to being
Manitoba's long-standing representative on
the Canadian Home Builders' Association's
Technical Research Committee, Derek
also served for many years on the MHBA's
Parade of Homes Committee and Technical
Research Committee. In 2018, Derek was
awarded an Honorary Life Membership
from the MHBA for his years of dedicated
service to the association.
Throughout his career, Derek's
dedication, knowledge and technical
expertise were sought after by many,
leading to lifelong friendships which he
valued immensely. Derek volunteered
IN MEMORIAM
throughout his life both personally and
professionally. From coaching ringette/
hockey to serving on various boards, he
enjoyed helping his community. Derek
loved music, skiing, fishing, hockey, golfing
and travelling. He travelled the world
with the love of his life, bringing home
countless treasures and stories.
Derek's contributions to his industry
and his association will always be
appreciated and remembered.
His family will hold a celebration in
Derek's honour at a later date.
The MHBA extends our condolences
to the Thorsteinson family. Derek will
be greatly missed by his friends and
colleagues.
