Mervin (Myroslaw) Todos

Mervin Todos passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 15th, 2018 at the age of 82 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. His wife Rosemarie, along with his son Darcy, were at his side. He was the oldest child of Nick and Mary Todos. He was raised in a Catholic household and was baptised in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. He met the love of his life, his brown eyes, Rosemarie Nagy and they were married June 27th, 1970. Merv was a master of many trades and hobbies. Such as his love of cars, yard work, his grandchildren, dogs, auto traders, westerns, comics and Ukrainian music. He enjoyed being around his loved ones and was always present when someone needed him. Merv would enjoy going weekly for coffee with friends and to the rosary group. Merv worked various jobs throughout his life providing for his wife Rosemarie and his three sons Dwayne, Darcy, and Daryle Todos. He drove for Kleysens and Atomic, and worked for Parkland Tire. Mervin was a very determined and skillful driver. He was able to keep up to company trucks with two drivers all by himself. He retired in 1989. Merv met his best friend Benji in 2002. He and Benji would take many naps together. Mervin always had a love for horses. At a young age, he would get in trouble from his father for feeding the horses too many oats. Mervin loved good food, especially Rosemarie`s baking.  She would often find empty baking containers in the deep freeze. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. He never hesitated at the opportunity to support them in one of their many activities. Mervin was artistically gifted.  He would often be found drawing animals for his grandchildren, specifically horses. Mervin would always put others before himself. He had a way with tools and could build or fix anything.
