It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Mark Jurychuk on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.

He leaves behind his devoted wife Helen, daughter Christine, sister-in-law Vera (David) and family and many valued friends. He was predeceased by his parents Barbara and Thaddeus Jurychuk.

Mark was born and raised in Toronto and attended high school at St. Andrew’s College in Aurora, Ontario. He studied at the University of Toronto and later attained an Executive MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business.

Mark’s career began in advertising in the publishing field and continued in senior sales and marketing positions at Dupont Canada and Invista. His work allowed him to travel internationally where he enjoyed meeting people, learning about their culture and developing an appetite for adventurous cuisines.

Mark met his wife Helen in Toronto; they married in 1977 and had one loving daughter, Christine.

Mark was a devoted and doting father to Christine. He took up marathon running and ran the first of many marathons, on his daughter’s first birthday – he wanted to be healthy to be an active part of her life. They spent many weekends together snowboarding, biking and then unwinding by watching old movies.

Mark pursued his many interests and hobbies with passion and intensity. He enjoyed sailing and photography. He was a voracious reader with a curiosity to always learn more. He researched until he knew something well and was eager to share that knowledge.

Our thanks to the staff and caregivers at the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre for many years of care. And a special thank you to our family and cherished friends who have been there for us during this time.

Visitation at Turner & Porter, Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor Street West on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024 from 6-9 pm. Panakhyda at 7:00 pm. The funeral will be a private family service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mark’s name to the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre or to a charity of your choice.
