It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our dear father, brother, and friend, Ken Sobkiw.

Ken was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed a variety of pastimes including; hunting, fishing, photography and was an avid reader. He was a life-time member of the Sherwood Park Fish and Game Association. He was also very proud of his past achievements including; Sky Diving, White Water Rafting, Mountain Climbing and Cave Exploring. In later years he enjoyed spending time at Pigeon Lake with family, and playing golf.
Ken had the special ability of making friends and he had many because he always had a huge smile, and a loving heart.
