It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Gary George Sadownik, who passed away on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at the age of 65. Gary was born in Spirit River on May 12, 1950 and raised in the Yellow Creek area. Gary was always so full of life and enjoyed raising his family on the farm. Gary started pipelining in his early years and worked in the gravel pit for many years as well but always came back to the farm life. In his most recent years, he looked after cattle for Gord Scarlett and also helped his brother in law and nephew during harvest time. Gary loved to be in the tractor all the time and when his grandchildren were born, he enjoyed his spare time with them. Gary’s hobbies included hunting with his nephew, playing cards and listening to old time country music. Gary is survived by his wife of 38 years, Linda and two daughters Angie Sadownik and Charlene Loberg (Todd), grandchildren Katie and Emma Loberg who loved calling him Guido; his Sister Victoria Juzwishin (John) and sister in law Grace Sadownik, numerous nieces and nephews and extended families. Gary was predeceased by his daughter Marlene Sadownik, parents Jack and Annie Sadownik and his brother William (Bill) Sadownik. A Celebration of Life for Gary Sadownik will be held at a later date.
