Rajko Vujanovic
Listed in Memorials
Rajko (Ray) Vujanovic passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, at the home where he and his wife of 51 years raised their family.
Rajko was born on September 7th, 1946 to parents Zorka and Bosco in Lepenica, Bosnia (formerly Yugoslavia).
The youngest of 13 children, Rajko served in the Yugoslav army and worked in different parts of Europe before coming to Canada in 1971.
He laid roots alongside his brother Vaso’s young family in Oshawa, Ontario, where he built a life and home with his wife Zorica.
Rajko was a proud and principled man. He was a caring husband and a deeply devoted father and grandfather. Rajko had many interests, including soccer, fishing and politics and was truly a jack-of-all-trades. -- If you could break it, he could likely fix it with a rubber band and a toothpick, and often did. He had a huge personality and loved to laugh and tell a good story (or a terrible joke).
He was steadfast, determined, and hardworking, and even in times of personal struggle, he always put others first.
Rajko was loved for his gregarious nature, and because he was kind, giving and deeply compassionate. He opened his door to many, and always made a space at his table for anyone who wanted or needed to be there. Rajko loved people.
He loved his family most of all. He was a loving provider and a fierce protector, and his greatest pride and joy were his children Suzy and Natasa, and his granddaughter Emily.
Rajko is predeceased by his parents and 11 brothers and sisters, and will lovingly be remembered by his wife Zorica Vujanovic; daughters Suzana Vujanovic Greyton and Natasa Vujanovic; granddaughter Emily Collins; brother Vaso Vujanovic; sister-in-law Barbara Vujanovic; son in law Jason Faulkner, and his many nieces, nephews, friends and extended family members, both here and abroad.
Pocivaj u miru bozijem I nek te cuvja andjeli
Rest in peace and let the angels look over you
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our neighbours, our family friends, Reverend Father Petro Tsenov from St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and Durham Region Emergency Response Services for their care and compassion.
A memorial service for Rajko will be held in the chapel of McINTOSH-ANDERSON-KELLAM FUNERAL HOME LTD., 152 King St. E., Oshawa (905-433-5558) on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024 at 4:00 pm with visitation beginning at 3:00 pm.
