Rođen:01.01.1936. (Vrlika, Hrvatska)
Preminuo:14.01.2023. (Prince George, Britanska Kolumbija, Kanada)
Dob: 87
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Vlado Matkovic on January 14th, 2023 at the age of 87. Vlado was born on January 1, 1936 in Garjak Vrlika, Croatia to Stjepan & Stana Matkovic. He came to Canada in 1960, landing in Quebec and eventually making his way across the country and ending up in Prince George, BC.
He met his wife, Regina, and they were married in 1972 and would go on to have two sons. Vlado initially worked in the railway industry when he came to Canada and eventually moved into the logging industry where he would work for decades. He would recall stories of his earlier days working on the railroads and of his years working in the early days of horse logging--eventually modern logging times where he owned and operated his own machinery. He worked tirelessly for his family in the bush and even had his sons join him logging in the years he worked before his retirement.
Vlado and his wife spent much of their days outside in the sun, relaxing and enjoying their retirement. He especially enjoyed the years he had with his young grandchildren who lovingly called him their "Deda."
Vlado is survived and greatly missed by his wife Regina; his sons Steve and Anthony, and his three grandchildren Heidi, Michael and Natalie.
Our family wants to thank the hardworking fire fighters, paramedics and RCMP who responded to the call that day. Thank you for your care and compassion. The family would also like to thank Dr. Nadeem and his staff for taking care of Vlado in his last years.
