Obituary of Ivan Milton WYTRYCHOWSKI

March 3, 1945 – Melville, Saskatchewan

March 17, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta

Ivan Milton Wytrychowski, beloved husband of Ella Wytrychowski (nee Klassen), of Calgary, Alberta passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 at the age of 75 years.

Ivan was born in Melville, Saskatchewan on March 3, 1945. He was raised in Abernethy, Saskatchewan before attending the University of Saskatchewan where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Engineering Physics Science) in 1967.  He married the love of his life, Ella, on July 6, 1968. They moved to Calgary, Alberta where they raised their two sons, Scott and Todd.

Upon graduating University, Ivan worked as a Professional Engineer in the Oil and Gas industry, which took his family from Fox Creek, Alberta to Jakarta, Indonesia before settling in Calgary, Alberta.  Ivan often spoke fondly of his time with Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas and the many life-long friendships that he maintained with his fellow Engineering graduates and co-workers which spanned five decades.

Ivan specifically enjoyed his life and family, especially his beloved grandchildren and their sporting activities.  Ivan and Ella entertained often and loved cooking for their friends and family. Ivan and Ella loved travelling the world and did so extensively making so many great memories together while exploring everything the world had to offer.

Ivan was an incredible husband, father, grandfather, mentor and friend.  He will forever be loved more than words could express.

In addition to Ella, his loving wife of almost fifty-two years, Ivan is survived by their children Scott (Tammy) and Todd (Brandy); his grandchildren Jessica Lynne, Ethan Scott and Nicklas Ivan, and his sister, Teresa Rampton. He was predeceased by his parents: Wasyl (Bill) and Margaret Wytrychowski and father-in-law, Abe Klassen.

Currently, precautions prevent a large gathering for Ivan.  As a result, his family will hold a private ceremony in his honour.  A celebration of Ivan’s life will be held this summer or as circumstances permit.
