<div itemprop="description">Durkovich, Jack<br /><br />It is with heavy hearts we announce, that our father Jack Durkovich passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, in the evening of April 27, 2015 at Rockyview Hospital. <br />Jack was born in Jasenica, Cavtat, Croatia September 17, 1929, and was predeceased by his wife Margaret (Doris) Durkovich on May 9, 2011 after 54 years of marriage, a loss from which he did not recover.<br />He is survived by his children Linda (Fred), Valerie, Phyllis (Mike), Karen (Joseph), Brian (Susan), Craig (Marsha) and 13 grandchildren of whom he was especially proud.<br />Jack came to Canada as a young man in 1948 and worked hard in the construction industry to establish a successful business. His work ethic, unfaltering commitment to detail and excellence set the standard for his work and family. He had an ability to take on any challenge and reveled in passing on his knowledge to his children. We will miss his love, passion, drive and sense of humour. He is deeply ingrained in our hearts.<br />Prayers will be held on Monday, May 4, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at Leyden&rsquo;s Chapel of Remembrance (corner of 17th Avenue and 2nd Street SW).
