EUGENE LEPISCHAK

Eugene Lepischak passed away peacefully on December 29, 2024, at Russell Hospital with his family by his side.

Eugene was born on June 26, 1943, the eldest son of Peter and Sophie Lepischak. On June 27, 1970, Eugene married Joyce Bachewich beginning a partnership that would span 54 years.

They lived a life centered around family, friends, faith, and love. Eugene and Joyce built a home on the family farm, a place that would remain the heart of their lives for many years. Over the next five decades, Eugene raised cattle and grew crops. The farm, which has been in the Lepischak family for generations is now a Century Farm.

Though farming was the cornerstone of Eugene's life, it was by no means his only passion. With his team of horses, he enjoyed many wagon and sleigh rides. He also found joy in fishing, snowmobiling, attending dances, always exploring or travelling the countryside and spending time with family and friends.

Eugene leaves behind his beloved wife Joyce. He is survived by his sons, Tristan and wife Teresa, Derek and wife Lynette, and his daughter, Darla and husband Corwin. His grandchildren who called him Deedee are Gavin, Jonah, Avary, Hudson, Abbilee, Rylen, and Jillian.

Eugene is also survived by his brother, Bob and wife Shelley, his brothers-in-law, Ed and wife Betty, Fred and partner Betty Shellborn, Victor and wife Lana, and Chris, as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Eugene was predeceased by his parents, Peter and Sophie; his parents-in-law, Harry and Caroline, his sister-in-law, Shirley, and his niece Julie.

Although Eugene is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. May he rest in peace, knowing he was loved beyond measure and will be deeply missed.
