Obituary of Metro Chorney

On Wednesday, December 22, 2021, Metro Chorney, loving husband of Dorothy, and father of four daughters, passed away peacefully in the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. He went home to meet his Lord and Savior at the age of 95 years. Metro was born and raised on the family farm north of Rhein. Metro and his mom moved into Rhein, while he continued farming. On July 17, 1965 he married his sweetheart, Dorothy Koutny, and they were blessed with four daughters. After selling the farm, Metro began working at Morris Rod Weeder on the assembly line, a job he took great pride in. Pranks and laughter filled his shifts. He worked there for 19 years. Upon his retirement at the age of 65, he enjoyed many wonderful years filled with friends and family, grandchildren, lots of card games, fishing expeditions, hot weather destinations, bike rides, coffee gatherings, hockey games, dancing, harmonica playing and many giggles! Attending church was very important to Metro. He lived out his faith in God. Metro was predeceased by his parents, Wasyl and Polly Chorney, his step-father, Sam Lepowick, and his sister, Mary. Left with many wonderful, cherished memories are his wife of 56 years, Dorothy, his daughters and their families, Cindi, Emilee, Erin and Isaac Thorhaug; Crystal (Brent), Miranda, Kelsey and Bradley Elmy; Carla (Peter), Ryan and Jenna Ehrmauntraut, and Corlee (Jeremy), Jordan (Aimee), Brooklyn and Courtney Knodel.
