Obituary of Dwayne Joseph Dychkowski
February 8, 1958 - Tofield, Alberta

Dwayne Dychkowski, beloved husband of Terry Dychkowski (nee Christensen), of Calgary, AB, passed away on Sunday, October 10, 2021, at the age of 63 years after a six month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Dwayne was born in Tofield, AB, on February 8, 1958. He graduated from the University of Alberta with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Dwayne married Terry in 1990. He was a member of The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA). He was employed with TransAlta from 1980 – 2009, Maxim Power Corp from 2010 – 2017, and finally as an independent contractor from 2018. Dwayne accomplished much through his life and was particularly proud of the birth of his children. Staying active was important and he enjoyed going to the gym, bike riding and golf. Travel was an important part of his life. Dwayne’s most memorable vacations were when he and Terry took a Mediterranean cruise in 2015, for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and a Panama Canal cruise in 2018. He will be most remembered for his subtle sense of humour and quiet disposition.
