It is with great sadness that the family of David Dennis Sarkonak announce his peaceful passing in the early hours of June 4, 2023.
David was born on September 1, 1963 in Dauphin, Manitoba to Alex and Alice Sarkonak completing their family of 5 boys. On his 18th birthday he had his first day of work at St. Paul's Personal Care Home as a health care aide where he continue to work for the next 41 years. This is where he met Sheila and they later married on November 5, 1988. Together they welcomed two daughters Jessie in 1989 and Amie in 1991.
While life was busy raising two small children David still found time to help on the family farm as well as invest in the family passion of rental properties.
Throughout the years David was occupied by many different interests and hobbies such as, entering craft sales with his meticulous wood working, hunting, fishing at Stony Point, and his most amazing garden. He could easily be recognized around town by his black truck "black beauty" that he had owned since 1988. His interests and hobbies eventually turned to playing on the floor with his 3 grandsons who were his pride and joy. Being a grandpa is what he was made to do. The boys will forever hear stories of their grandpa Dave. He will always be remembered by his infectious laugh often accompanied by tears and a slap of the knee with a smile that could light up any room.
David is predeceased by his father Alex, mother Alice, sister-in-law Jeanne, nephew Chris, great niece Sophie and fur babies Pogo and Rick.
David leaves behind a large family and will be forever missed by his wife Sheila, daughter Jessie (Kevin), daughter Amie (Braden), grandsons Cooper, Grady, Bauer and fur baby Callie. Brothers Ron and wife Bev, Tony, Leonard and wife Bonnie, Raymond as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
Memorial donations may be made in David's name to Parkland Humane Society, St. Paul's Personal Care Home or palliative care ward at Dauphin Regional Hospital.
The family would like to send a special thank you to the staff in the SICU at Health Sciences Centre as well as the palliative care staff at Dauphin Regional Hospital for their care and compassion.
Memorial Service was held on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at 11:00 am from Sneath-Strilchuk Family Care Centre in Dauphin, MB with Pastor Howard Burnie officiating.
