David Luczka

In Memoriam
A Tribute to a Life Well Lived

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Ivan Luczka, who left us on April 18, 2025, at the age of 72, after a courageous two year battle with lung cancer. David was born on April 14, 1953.

Dave dedicated his life to his family and friends, he loved his acreage and all the work that came with it. There was nothing he enjoyed more than spending time with his grandchildren, building forts, and driving quads on the back 40. Dave had a passion for the outdoors; family ski vacations to the mountains, and enjoyed many a day with his hunting and fishing buddies. He told many stories of the exploits that he encountered.

A big part of Dave’s life was the construction industry, leaving a lasting impact on all who were fortunate to know him. Dave was the General Manager, Saskatoon Land Development for Dream. Dave had over 34 years of experience in the construction industry and was involved in the development of over 1670 acres of land and multiple neighbourhoods within Saskatoon. Over the years, Dave received numerous awards and presentations for his work. Dave received the 2013-2014 Heritage Award and the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan 2014 Heritage Architecture Excellence Award for Stonebridge special use parks. Dave also sat multiple boards and loved to serve his community. Dave’s contributions to the construction industry will be remembered with admiration and gratitude.

Dave was predeceased by his parents, Peter and Ann Luczka. In-laws Steve and Helen Fosty.

Throughout his life, Dave was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and cousin who always put family first. Dave is survived by his wife of 49 years Judy Luczka (Fosty), daughter Jenn Luczka, Bennett and Maisie Robertson; sons Chris (Casey) Luczka, and Geoff (Miren) Mila and Parker Luczka; brothers Myron (Irene) Luczka, Rick (Teresa) Luczka, Mike (Bev) Luczka, Peter Luczka, and sister Julie (Terry) Hrabowy; brothers in-law Steven (Lai) Fosty, Mark Fosty, sister in-law Debbie (Dave) Schafer; numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.

A special thanks to the doctors and staff of the Saskatoon Cancer Centre and R.U.H. for the care that they gave to Dave on his courageous battle. For Dave’s love of the outdoors, a contribution to the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation can be made in Dave’s memory in lieu of flowers.

As per Dave’s wishes, there will not be a funeral, instead, he would want you to spend a couple of hours of intentional quality time with your loved ones. Our family would like to thank all those who were part of David’s life and helped to contribute to his joy, happiness, and fullness of life.

Dave's spirit and memory will forever remain in our hearts. Dave will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Martens Warman Funeral Home is honoured to be entrusted with Mr. David Luczka's care and arrangements.
