Paul John Harbaruk
September 10, 1969 – September 4, 2017
It is with heavy hearts that we announce Paul’s passing after a long and courageous battle with Glioblastoma, at the age of 47 years. This devastating disease did not break his positive spirit or his will to live. He was a lover of life. Enjoyed everyday to its fullest. Beloved husband and soulmate of Jennifer for 21 years. Loving and very proud father to Cameron & Justin. Son of Margaret and the late John Harbaruk. Brother to Betty. Pre-deceased by sister Ania, survived by her husband Yael Zamdvais and daughter Olivia. Son-in-law to Penny McDonald and Roger Marsh. Brother-in-law to John McDonald (Noelle) their children Ashley and John. Heather (Andrew Brownsdon) their children Ryan, Jordyn and Nicholas. Survived and fondly remembered by his cousins and many friends to whom he loved dearly. Forever a Bucs fan!!

Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed. xoxo

Paul you are a true warrior and never gave up! You leave a legacy of fond memories and I can hear that laugh of yours as you were always in a humorous mood and it was truly contagious mood. Now the heavens will be filled with the laughter that you bring.

Our thoughts are with Jennifer, Cameron, Justin at this difficult time.
I feel very fortunate that I was able to get to know Paul so well, & spend so much time with him during our years as Coyote parents/staff members. So many fun times/laughs..Sudbury Big Nickel tourney, "Barrel of Laughs"/Honky-Pete-carpool at the Chicago Warrior tourney, Nations Cup in Michigan, many wing nights at St. Louis, Hallowe'en parties, poker tourneys & so much more. I'll always cherish these incredibly fun times we shared & look back with a laugh. I consider myself very lucky that I got to know Paul & call him my friend. Rest in peace PH.
