KYFIUK, Mike

1930 – 2026

On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Mike Kyfiuk of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at the age of 95 years. Mike was born on Sunday, November 16, 1930, in Vegreville, Alberta. He spent his early years in the Vegreville area, before beginning a long and dedicated career in the oilfield industry, working throughout western Canada. In 1957 while working in Consort, Mike met the love of his life, Helen Dodds. They were married on April 30, 1958, beginning a wonderful partnership that would span almost 68 years, while raising their four children. Mike continued his oilfield career in Consort as a production manager, earning the respect of colleagues for his strong work ethic, leadership and integrity. He remained in the industry until his retirement in 1986. In 1993, Mike and Helen moved to Red Deer to be closer to their growing family, where they made many new friends and built more cherished memories together. Throughout his life, Mike embraced the simple joys that brought people together. He loved to dance, play the guitar and sing, and filled rooms with music and laughter. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, camping, socializing with family and friends, and many winter months spent with Helen, traveling south in their motorhome. Mike took a special interest in the lives of his children and grandchildren, attending their events and was always eager to hear about their latest activities and accomplishments. He was immensely proud of each of them. Mike will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Helen; his children, Gordon, Lila (Glen), Andy (Denise) and Jim (Laurie); as well as numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews and other extended family members and friends who will miss his warm smile, steady presence, and kind heart. He will be deeply missed and forever fondly remembered. At Mike’s request, there will be no Funeral or public Celebration of Life in his honour.
