With great sadness, the family of the late Charles Witwicki announce his passing at the Canora Hospital on November 17, 2024, at the age of 66 years.
Charles ‘Charlie’ Andrew Witwicki was born on February 7, 1958, in Canora, SK, to parents, Mike and Laura (nee Mills) Witwicki. Along with his two brothers, Charlie grew up in Canora, where their business had been established since 1921. Throughout Charlie’s life, he played an important role in running this family business.
After graduating high school in Canora, Charles went on to further his education as a Machine Technician at Kelsey College in Saskatoon, SK. He then returned to be part owner at the family business in Canora. Charles was known by all to offer advice to any solution or to tell you a joke you could never forget. Charles would always have an answer for you.
He met his wife, Joy, and soon welcomed their son, Andrew, into the world; thus, beginning Charlie’s new chapter of life as a father. Charlie’s presence in Joy’s family was loved by everyone and it didn’t take long for him to find himself becoming an irreplaceable member of Joy’s family. He never missed a Christmas or a birthday. As everyone was anticipating his arrival, the nieces and nephews especially would be excited to play with Uncle Charlie.
With his family, Charles enjoyed outings that involved biking, golfing, and road trips. His own hobbies included working on his tractors at home, reading books, and always making sure everyone's vehicle in the yard was running smoothly.
Everyone who knew Charles enjoyed his conversations and no matter where he went, there was always someone he looked forward to speaking with.
Charles spent his final years at home, where he was compassionately cared for by his wife, Joy, and her family, until his peacefully passing. He looked forward to and enjoyed visits from neighbors and friends while staying at home, where he would be his funny and welcoming self.
The family would like to thank everyone who has offered their support and has taken the time to visit and bring comfort to them during this difficult time.
In Charlie’s honor, a funeral service was celebrated at 1:00 pm, Friday, November 22, 2024, from the Chapel of Leson’s Funeral Home, with Rev. Fr. Ivan Simko as celebrant. Rite of Committal followed at the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, southwest of Norquay, SK. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, as tokens of remembrance, in memory of Charlie Witwicki.
