Don Shakotko
1946 - 2015
As published in the April 27, 2015 World-Spectator
The janitor of God; Shannon’s Beloved; Jesse (Tammy) and Bert’s (Bevin) Papa; Niah, Ayla, Riel, Quinn, and Coco’s Diede; Myrna, Sandy, Tim (Donna), and Sherri’s (James) brother; Hank and Gyda’s son-in-law; and uncle to many amazing nieces and nephews, died in Arcola Hospital on April 15, 2015.
Don lived a big life, full of many adventures-the one he’s on now capping them all. His boys were his best friends, bourbon was his favourite drink, blues was his kind of music, he liked to hang out with bees, and he loved Jesus with his whole heart.
There will be no funeral service, but you would honour Don’s memory by dropping some money in the hat of a street musician or giving to the Soul’s Harbour Rescue Mission in Regina.
The Dude Abides.
Arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. Messages of condolence may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.hallfuneralservices.ca.
