We Remember

EKMECIC, Jozo

September 19, 1950 — April 2, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jozo Ekmecic, who left us peacefully at the age of 74, on April 2, 2025. Born and raised in the beautiful country of Bosnia, Jozo made his way to Canada in the 1970s, where he began a new chapter of his life. He started in Ontario, then made his way to Calgary, AB, and ultimately settled in the Okanagan, where he lived for the final years of his journey.

Jozo’s life was one of hard work, dedication, and remarkable talents. He spent over 30 years in Calgary, where he ran a successful business while raising a family. His skills were many, and his ability to adapt and excel in all that he did was unmatched. From his background in military service with Interpol to his work in electronics, building, and renovations, Jozo proved time and time again that there was no challenge too great for him.

A man of deep love and loyalty, Jozo’s passion for life was always evident. He was a devoted family man and friend, and when he loved, he loved deeply. He had a special gift for making people laugh, often with humour that was a little unconventional but always delivered with warmth and charm. His stories, his jokes, and his infectious smile brought light to every room he entered. Jozo’s humour and laughter were always a source of joy for those who knew him.

He will be remembered not only for his many accomplishments but also for the love he shared with his family and friends, and for his unforgettable sense of humour.

May you rest in peace, Jozo. Your legacy of laughter, love, and extraordinary talent will live on in the hearts of those who loved you.

A Celebration of Life with Visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at 2:00 pm (PDT), in the Family Centre at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A reception will follow the service.
