    3. [S1413] Obituary of Marno SEKORA.
      Marno Sekora
      November 8, 1952 - July 12, 2025

      It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marno Sekora, a devoted husband, loving father, cherished father-in-law, proud grandfather, and loyal friend, who left this world peacefully on July 12, 2025 after a courageous battle with a rare and
      aggressive form of cancer. He was 72 years old.

      Marno was a man defined by quiet strength, selflessness, and a deep love for his family and community. He spent his life giving to others offering his time, his wisdom, and his heart without hesitation. Whether he was lending a hand to a neighbor, offering guidance to a loved one, or simply showing up when it mattered most, he made an impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

      He faced his illness with remarkable grace and courage, always more concerned for the well-being of those around him than for his own. Even in his most difficult days, he continued to be a source of comfort, humor, and strength.

      Marno’s legacy is one of love, humility, and generosity. He lived a life that mattered, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

      The Family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Grey Nuns Hospital - in the Palliative care unit, for their kindness, support and care shown to Marno during his stay.

      The family would like to also extend a special thank you to the wonderful staff and volunteers at Roozen Family Hospice Centre who gave the care and attention to Marno during his time there.

      Survived By:
      He leaves behind his beloved wife, Donna Sekora, his Son Danny Sekora, daughter-in-law Stephanie Mather, his grand-daughter Shayla Sekora.

      Also leaving behind his loving sister Teresa Rossmann, Niece’s Kristi Evans (Matt); Tamara Stelte (Darcy) her children London & Cooper. Sister-in-law MaryAnn, Niece Melisa Heath (John) their children Iain, Trinity, Jack. Brother in-law Ted Callahan (Wyndy) Sister in-law Vicki Moore (Vern) their children Andrew and Lindsey, and other extended family members and friends who will carry his memory in their hearts forever.

      He is pre-deceased by:
      his parents Anne & Joseph Sekora, Brothers Eugene Sekora and Rod (Elie) Sekora, Aunty Elsie Manchak who was like a second mother to him and countless other family members and friends.

      A celebration of his life will be held on August 23, 2025 11:00 AM at West Meadows Baptist Church 9333 199 St NW Edmonton, AB T5T 6E8.

      In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in his memory to the Kids with Cancer Society-Horsepower for Hope.
