JAKE HRYNCZUK, of Coaldale, AB, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital, surrounded by his loving family, on Monday, June 12, 2023 at the age of 74 years. 

Jake will be deeply missed by his beloved wife, Pat Hrynczuk, children, Paul (Elyse), and Tanya as well as four wonderful grandchildren - Wesley, Talia, Declan and Addison. He is also survived by a sister Anna (Alvin) and niece Tammy. 

Jake was predeceased by his parents Oleska and Zofia. 

Jake was born in Genk, Belgium and immigrated at a young age to Canada with his family who chose to settle in Coaldale. Jake met the love of his life while they were both working at Sears. Much of Jake's occupation involved accounting and finances at different hospitals in Southern Alberta.    

Jake was a man of many talents and excelled at anything he put his mind to. He loved nature - birdwatching, gardening and tending to his numerous flowers. Other interests were sketching, painting and outings with his children and grandchildren. 

In the past few years, a number of health issues had challenged Jake but through them all, he stubbornly fought them; concerned for the wellbeing of his family. 

The family will celebrate Jake's life with a private service in Waterton followed by a private burial in Lethbridge.    

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada (kidney.ca/donate) or, the Libin Cardiovascular Institute - University of Calgary (libin.ucalgary.ca/donate)
