JENISH, John (Jack) Joseph John died peacefully on January 16, 2014 at the Kelowna General Hospital. He was born May 28, 1929 and raised outside of Estevan, Saskatchewan with brother Frank and sisters Shirley (Winterton), deceased and Agnes (Benter), deceased. The family home was adjacent to family-owned Jenish Coal Mining Company - Estevan. John's father, Egne Jenish, and mother, Sophie (Millar), owned and operated the mine with an extended family which had migrated from Lithuania. The mine supplied coal to homes and businesses in south Saskatchewan. John graduated from Estevan Collegiate Institute in 1949 and from the Coyne School of Electronics in Chicago, Illinois on March 19, 1954. After graduation, he returned to Canada, representing a number of industrial and electronics firms, eventually settling with CT Engineering and Premier Industries of Cleveland, Ohio. John met Marilyn Rose Murray in 1961 in Vancouver. After a long-distance courtship, they fell in love and were married in Montreal. They celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary in 2013. The young couple moved to Regina where their family grew: daughter Lisa (Castillo), Lyle and Sandy (nee Calhoun). In 1970 John and Marilyn moved their young family to Kelowna where John designed and built the family home, in the middle of an apple orchard, overlooking the Okanagan Lake. Soon after, Shauna (Kitazaki) was born. Industrious, enthusiastic and opinionated, Jack enjoyed a large group of friends. Football, waterskiing, agriculture, mechanics and business were a passion. He remained involved in his children's and his grandchildren's lives, often travelling to Dallas, Texas, Vancouver and Victoria, BC, to visit Joshua Castillo, Quinn Jenish, Jacob Jenish, Luke Castillo, Isabella Castillo, Noah Calhoun and Jonah Calhoun. John is survived by his loving wife Marilyn, his brother Frank, daughters Lisa and son-in-law Steve, son Lyle and daughter-in law Elizabeth, Sandy and Shauna and son-in-law Dave Kitazaki. He was predeceased by his father Egne on Jan. 28, 1974 and mother Sophie on Feb. 26, 1982. John loved life, family and fun and was happiest on those occasions when they were all together. We wish to thank all the staff at the KGH's trauma ward and floor 4B for their loving care of John and the compassion extended to all family members. We are also so grateful to Dr. Martin Steinruck for his constant care, compassion, empathy and encouragement. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
