December 10th, 2022

It is with heavy hearts we share that Nick Alex Elynuik passed away, unexpectedly, on Saturday, December 10, 2022, in Logan Lake, BC.   Left to mourn his passing is his loving wife, Lori; his daughters Corinna (Colin) Watt of Edmonton, Alberta; Nicole (Don) Dolfo of Kamloops, BC; Melanie Lyman of Seattle, Washington; grandchildren Evan and Alice, of Edmonton, Abby and Noah of Kamloops; brothers Morris (Rosemarie) Elynuik of Regina, Saskatchewan; Terry (Corinne) Elynuik of Calgary, Alberta; sisters Maureen (Don) Bulych of Calgary, Alberta; Geraldine Kurz of California; and many nieces and nephews.  He was predeceased by his parents, Alex and Mary Elynuik of Regina, Saskatchewan; sister Gloria Pell, of Foam Lake, Saskatchewan, and brother Gerald (Jerry) Elynuik, of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan.

Nick grew up on the family farm in Foam Lake, Sask., the incredible foundation of his life.  In his later teen years, he moved west to Vancouver, BC, eventually settling in Chilliwack, working at Firestone Tire shop.   He started his family, and moved to Logan Lake in 1977, working at the Pacific 66 gas station with his cousin, Ron.  Opportunity knocked, and Nick got a job working at the local mine.  He attended BCIT through the mine to become a journeyman welder and excelled in his trade.  Forty years later, Nick retired from Highland Valley Copper Mine as a highly respected Mills Shop General Supervisor.

Nick was a resourceful, self-taught, naturally multi-talented man, brilliant with math and creativity.  He was a very loving husband, father, and grandfather, with a fabulous sense of humour!  He was much loved by so many.  Arrangements have been made through Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services.  A Celebration of Life will be held in the summer, with an announcement to be published at a later date.
