Randy Gushulak
November 16, 1950 - March 15, 2025
Tribute
We would like to share the unexpected passing of Randy Blair Gushulak at the age of 74. Randy was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and son; and will be missed by so many more.
Befitting Randy, he died while travelling the world, and was in East Africa with his wife, Cathy (nee Poulin) when he passed from us on March 15, 2025.
Randy was born in Edmonton to mother, Helga (nee Jacobson) and father, Pawlo Gushulak, both predeceased.
Randy is survived by his loving wife; sister, Sandra Brown; sons; Philip (Alex) Gushulak, Grant (Sandra) Gushulak, and Michael (Lindy) Gushulak; grandchildren, Hattie and Fia; nieces, Christina and Carrie and nephew James.
Randy worked as an electrician and welder for the IBEW across Canada. He retired and moved to Oliver to be close to family. He was always first in line to help his family and his community with both his hands and his ideas.
Randy loved to travel, trying his utmost to dip his feet in every ocean! He was an avid golfer, curler, fisher and hunter. His zest for life, community spirit, generosity and love for his family will forever be in our hearts.
A celebration of Randy’s life will be held from 1:00 – 3:00 pm, Saturday April 26, 2025 at the Cherry Grove Estates Clubhouse, 6601 Tucelnuit Drive, Oliver, BC.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Cathy. I know we did not see one another very often over all the years, but I always thought of all of you throughout these many years gone by. I somehow sense that you had a great relationship with Randy over the years together, and that is good. Healing will take time, but time is all we have. I trust that you and your family will be okay. Your first cousin, Andre.

Cathy, I mailed a condolence card to you c/o your Mom yesterday and then later received a message from Joanie with the information about Randy. I got your address from Joanie so I forwarded that information to my family members and Aunt Elaine. My condolences to you and your family at the time. May Randy rest in peace.
