Dean Donald Kowalchuk
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dean Donald Kowalchuk, a beloved figure in the Sidney community. He left this world suddenly and unexpectedly on November 4th, 2024, at the age of 58. A beloved father, brother, uncle, and beacon of the community—Dean’s vibrant spirit and generous heart touched countless lives.
“Deano” was born on April 26, 1966, in Calgary Alberta. He was the 3rd of 4 children born to Victor (Vic) & Antoinette (Toni) Kowalchuk - prominent business moguls of the Victoria and later, Sidney home furnishing scene.
A renowned businessman, Dean was an added driving force to Vic and Toni’s business, Buy & Save Furnishings. After its closure, Dean opened his own business, The Sidney Buy & Sell, where he continued giving back to the community. His dedication and hard work made him a respected figure in the local business community.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Dean was a man of many passions. He was a skilled handyman, a talented gardener, a culinary virtuoso, and an avid fisherman and camper. He loved spending time outdoors, tending to his vegetable and flower gardens, and spoiling his many dogs over the years. His boisterous personality and quick wit made him the life of many parties. His generosity and willingness to help others made him a beloved friend to many.
Dean is predeceased by his parents, Vic & Toni Kowalchuk, his sister, Cheryl Lynn and his ex-wife, Lesley Dentro. Dean was a devoted family man. He cherished, and is survived by his children, Melissa, Andrew and Katlynn, his sisters, Marianne and Cindy, niece Stacey, many aunts, Uncles, cousins and his beloved dog, Paco.
Dean will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the entire Sidney community. Although he is no longer with us, his legacy of laughter and camaraderie will live on.
PLEASE join the family and friends to share stories of Dean’s life at an informal gathering to be held in the Arbutus Room at Affordable Cremation & Burial, located at 4392 West Shore Parkway, Langford BC on Friday December 13, 2024 from 6pm-8pm
