Obituary of Gerald Trisko

Gerald Marvin Trisko

April 20, 1952 – January 9, 2025

It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of our brother Gerald Trisko on January 9, 2025, at the age of 72 years. He will be missed and remembered by his sisters Jane McNamara (Byrne), Louise Pickford, and Annette Patterson (Brian), brother-in-law Terry Levins, plus many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Gerald was predeceased by his parents, Mildred and Marvin Trisko, sister Joyce Levins and brother-in- law Ric Pickford.

Gerald was born in Killam, Alberta on April 20, 1952.  He grew up on the family farm south of Strome, Alberta.  After graduating from high school, he lived and worked in the Edmonton and Ardrossan areas, then resided and retired in Fort Saskatchewan.  In his early years, Gerald enjoyed outdoor and acreage life and had a special passion for horses.  His love of driving led him to his occupation as a truck driver which took him into all areas of Alberta, as well as B.C. and the Northwest Territories.

The family extends a special thank you to Nelsa and Jackie, who were exceptional caregivers in his last months.  If family and friends so desire, memorials in Gerald’s name may be made to a charity of choice.  A memorial service will be held at a later date.
