Obituary Overview
Peter Yakubowski
It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Peter Yakubowski on August 10, 2018 at the age of 84 years.
Peter was born July 15, 1934 to Nick and Mary Yakubowski in Merridale, Manitoba, the second son of eleven children. He married Anne Dmyterko on July 26, 1958 and they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on July 26, 2018. Together they welcomed two beautiful daughters, Debbie and Colleen and later three beautiful granddaughters, Chelsea, Jessie and Nikki; and Peter took pride in his two great-grandsons, Grayson and Tatum.
In 1954, he left home to pursue his career in construction. He started his own company Central Metal in Saskatoon and travelled throughout Saskatchewan installing a variety of doors. In his retirement and his love for open roads, Peter started driving for Evashenko Trucking with Yankee and received his One Million Mile Award. Peter took pride in working hard to care for his family, not only an entrepreneur, but a self-taught carpenter. He was always there to lend a helping hand. When Peter wasn’t busty helping others, you could find him at his cabin at Tobin Lake or at Blackstrap Lake in his garage. He would spend hours listening to his country music and loved entertaining friends and family.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Anne; daughters, Debbie Evashanko and Colleen Yakubowski; granddaughters, Chelsea (Travis) Remmen and great grandsons, Grayson and Tatum, Jessie (Regan Wilton), and Nikki, and their father, Craig Evashenko; brothers, Stan (Lorraine), Ed (Ruth), Morris (Ina) and Victor (Pat); and his sisters, Nellie Marshall, Mary Rebryna, and Delores McDonald (Walter Roe). Peter is also remembered by his extended family, Joe Moldenhauer, Ed (Ann) Dmyterko, Peter (Marg) Dmyterko, Mary Semchyshen, Harry (Diane) Dmyterko, Joyce Bayda, Dmytro Dmyterko, Evelyn (Ott) Weins, John (Stella) Dmyterko, Eugene (Linda) Dmyterko, Darlene (Doug) McGirr, Sonya (Danny) Stelter, Sylvia (Rick) Snow, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was predeceased by his parents, Nick and Mary; his parents in law, Dick and Edna Dmyterko; sisters, Anne (Jim) Yacyshyn, Jene (Mike) Sunnato, Helen (Lyle) Moore; brothers in law, Barry Marshall, Joe Rebryna, Bob Bayda, Steve Semchyshen, Art Tkachuk and Nicholas (in infancy); and his sister in law Paulene Moldenhauer.
