Obituary of Gerald Kozmeniuk

It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of Gerald Keith Kozmeniuk, at Yorkton Regional Hospital on April 19, 2024 at the age of 69 years old.

Gerald will be sadly missed by his wife Melody of 33 years, sons Claytan (Stephanie), their daughter Jillian, and nephew Tylor; Dustan (Robin) and their daughters Bailey and Teagan; his twin sister, Geraldine and brother in law Bob (Little); nieces Michelle (Olivier) their children Bastien and Alex, Melissa (Ian) and their children Charles and Albert; parents in law Orval and Gail Bjornson; brother in law Dean (Bjornson) and by everyone that knew and loved him.

He was predeceased by his parents William and Nellie Kozmeniuk, brother Barry and sister Shirley Crowder.

Gerald was born on August 30, 1954. As a young child Gerald was adventurous, always, the first to climb over the fence leaving his twin sister behind, and that adventurous spirit continued through his life.

He attended Brush Valley School until the end of grade 6, then attended Sturgis Composite High School. After graduation, Gerald took on some business ventures and began farming. He met and married the love of his life, Melody, and with Dustan they became a family of 3. In 1992 Claytan was born and their family was complete.

After retiring he enjoyed having time to spend at his cabin with his family. For Gerald, those were the most special and precious times.

He loved to be out on the boat with his sons and families, reaping the rewards of their catch in a fine gourmet meal.

In honoring Gerald’s wishes, a private family service will be held honouring his life.

Donations in memory of Gerald may be made to the Canadian Cancer Research Society.

Arrangements are entrusted to Bailey's Funeral Home and Cremation Care.
