We Remember
SCUKA, Mario
August 27, 1931 — September 18, 2026
It is with immense love and great sadness that we announce the loss of Mario Scuka, who passed away peacefully in the comfort of his home on September 18, 2026, at the age of 95.
Left to hold him dear to their hearts are those he loved most, including his wife of 67 years, Dora; children Adriana and Danny (Halina) Scuka of Kelowna; grandchildren Rachel (Alex) Scuka Walker of Salmon Arm, Kaylin Scuka of Kelowna, and Hannah Scuka of Kelowna; great-grandchildren Sofia and Caleb Walker of Salmon Arm; and many extended family members and friends. He now goes to join his five siblings who passed before him.
Mario was born on August 27, 1931, in Dutovlje, Yugoslavia. He later came to Canada, where he married and made his home in Regina, Saskatchewan, before moving with his family to Kelowna in December 1975.
Mario was a hardworking man who spent his life providing for and supporting his family. Over the years, he worked in many different roles, including as a mechanic, in construction, and as an orchardist. He taught his family the importance of hard work, strong values, and doing the right thing — lessons that will continue to be passed down through the generations.
Family was at the heart of Mario’s life. He was a loving and supportive husband, parent, grandparent, and great-grandparent. He had many friends, enjoyed welcoming people into his home, and was known for his sense of humour and his willingness to lend a hand.
Mario loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting. He will be remembered for his hard work, his humour, the values he lived by, and above all, his love for his family.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
