Nick Petraschuk
With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to a beloved father, gido & big gido, Nick Petraschuk.
Born on June 9, 1928 in the Shalka region of Alberta, Nick lived a long, full life and passed away at the age of 96 years. Though he was known to be a quiet man, he had a great sense of humor that shone through in the small moments spent with his immediate and extended family. He was extremely proud of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and will be remembered for his strength, wit and kind heart. He will be missed by all who knew & loved him.
He is survived by his wife Kathleen (Tilly), children Gary (Belinda), Lonny (Melanie), Kathy (Dan), Leslie (Lori), and Kelly.
Left to cherish his memory are nine grandchildren - Jamie (Victoria), Brittany (Patrick), Lisa (Ashlee), Naomi, Jessica (Cole), Michael (Corinne), Paige, Sarah (Sean) and Ryan (Danielle) and five great-grandchildren - Radek, Sophie, Payce, Margot and Addison.

Kathy, Dan, and Family… my sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. May you cherish all the memories.
My heart hurts for all of you in the passing of this gentle giant of a man. It’s odd that Nick was my Dad’s friend before he became Uncle Tex when Nick married my cousin Tilly. I fondly remember when farm living had us living kitty-corner across the field from each other. In the winters both Dad and Nick worked away in BC and we watched out for each other. Great Roots!! May Almighty God hold each of you extra close and extra tight during this time of profound grief. Let’s take solace in knowing he is now in that perfect place waiting for us to join him later. Much love to you ALL!!!
Condolences to the Petraschuk families on the loss of Nick. He will be dearly missed by all !
