As published in the October 10, 2022 World-Spectator
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jackie “Jack” Daku on October 1, 2022 at the Regina General Hospital.
Jack passed away peacefully among family after a long-fought battle with cancer.
Jack farmed south of Fleming, Saskatchewan for over 45 years, and pipelined for just as many.
After he retired, Jack moved back to Kipling where he was closer to his family and many childhood friends.
He was actively involved with the Kipling Presbyterian Church and the Bekevar Church restoration project.
Jack had many passions including farming, fishing, dancing, and summers at Kenosee Lake. Most of all he enjoyed socializing and visiting with everyone he met.
Jack will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his sons, Jared (Krista) and Jason; his parents Adele and Calvin; his sister Brenda (Jim), and brothers Robert (Shauna), Howard (Brenda), and Eric (Tammy), as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, and longtime friends.
The family would like to thank Dr. Tsang and all of the staff at the Regina General Hospital who provided excellent care for Jack during his final days.
The funeral service will be held at the Bekevar Presbyterian Church south of Kipling on Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 2 pm with officiant Marlene Tarr.
Following the interment, the family invited everyone to join them at the Kipling Community Center for lunch and to share stories and memories of Jack.
In honour of Jack and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: The Bekevar Heritage Foundation Inc., Box 502, Kipling Sask. S0G 2S0.
