It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gido, husband and friend, Dave Dishko. Born in North Battleford, Dave grew up in Radison and Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan.   Dave spent the majority of his working years as a Power Engineer in North Battleford after he was no longer able to perform his duties as a firemen or ambulance attendant after being involved in a serious accident whilst attending to another accident.  Dave married Pauline in 1976, they had their first child in 1981 and second child in 1986.  Dave was one of the most caring people you could ever meet, always putting others before himself. He loved making people laugh and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, fishing (especially at “Camp David”), hunting, and working on things in his garage. He was an active volunteer with many organizations over the years from the Meadow Lake Fire Dept, Meadow Lake Municipal Road Ambulance, minor soft ball coach, St. John’s Ambulance, Shriners, Demolay leader and Citizens on Patrol.

Dave leaves behind his wife of 46 years Pauline, sons: Aaron (Dawn) and Kevin, grandson Hunter, and siblings: Elaine, Kathy (Frank), Betty (William), Teri (Terry), and Andrew (Nadine), many nieces and nephews, cousins, and many friends. Dave was predeceased by his parents: Simon and Joan Dishko.

A Celebration of Life took place on Saturday, July 8, 2023, at the Western Development Museum Heritage Hall, Highway 40 North Battleford, SK. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dave’s honour to the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan or to Battlefords Union Hospital, Palliative Care.
