Swinarchuk, "Danny" Paul Wednesday, 28 Sep 2011
– passed away on September 28, 2011 at his home in Thrums. He was born on December 25, 1958 in Trail, BC.
Dan was predeceased by his father Kozma, and his mother
Anna and sister Clara.
Danny leaves behind his wife Cheryl, daughter Nateena, son Trent, and his brothers Jim (Cyndi), Stan (Dorothy), George and his sister Julie, along with the grandparents of his children; Mr. & Mrs. Bill Ostoforoff, Rob (Alanna) Ostoforoff and many family relatives including Brandon Colton, Reid (Diane) Lundstrom of North Vancouver, Cody (Carolyn) Swinarchuk of Kamloops, Leanne (Matt) Hammett of Grand Forks, and great-nieces and nephews; Jordan, Joshua, Brenna and Ethan.
Dan loved to work, excelled in all endeavours, logging in his early days, fire-fighting out of Castlegar, being boss of an I.A. Crew. In the over 500 fire call-outs his crew responded to, never did he and his crew let a fire get away on them. In his later years he became a heavy-duty mechanic. He was diligent and meticulous in everything he did. Hunting and fishing, spending time with his son and daughter and their relatives – these were great joys to him.
We will all miss him dearly; Rest in peace Danny.
Sarah Greenwood of the Castlegar Funeral Chapel was entrusted with arrangements.
