 MAYOR CALVIN KRUK 1966-2008 After a very short illness the Lord called home our dearly loved Calvin Anthony Kruk in the early morning of October 19, 2008. He was 42 years old. Born and raised in Haney, BC (now Maple Ridge) Calvin was a loving and devoted husband to Faith and father to Austin. He will also be mourned by his mother Alida (John) and siblings Corwin (Christina), Gracia (Brian) and Norman (Delwyn) and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Calvin was predeceased by his father Jacob in 1985. After attending Haney-Pitt Meadows Christian School and graduating from Fraser Valley Christian High School, Calvin went to Columbia Broadcasting School and looked forward to a career in radio. He was employed at CJVB in Powell River for two years before moving to CJDC at Dawson Creek. Calvin resigned from CJDC to work at Picture It and then at the Kiwanis Performing Arts Centre. Calvin became a councillor for Dawson Creek City Council in 1999 and his constituents elected him as Mayor in 2005. He was much admired for his honest approach to politics and his vision of a greener world. We shall treasure our memories of Calvin and want to offer our heart felt appreciation to those who provided food and flowers for the Kruk Family during this time. Our thanks also go to those who donated to the Calvin Kruk Trust Fund for the Performance Arts and Community Centre –a project very close to Calvin’s heart and one of the last he worked on. The beautiful cards, compassionate words and offers of condolence have made a particularly difficult time, less so. Calvin was an incredible man whose legacy will live on and be felt through his great achievements in Dawson Creek and the Peace Region. A Celebration of Life service was held on October 25, 2008 at the EnCana Event Centre, Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Officiated by Cory Michaels and Reverend John F. Klassen. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Calvin may be made by way of a donation to the Calvin Kruk Performing Arts and Community Centre Trust Fund’ at the Lakeview Credit Union, Dawson Creek, British Columbia. |
