Petar Vrankovic went peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus and finished his good race on Sunday, December 28, 2025, at the age of 74.

He was predeceased by his mother, with whom he had an inseparable bond, Katarina “Katica” Plavić, and by his precious son, who held a special place in Petar’s heart, Novak “Novica” Vrankovic.

Petar is survived by his loving wife of over 52 years, Nada Vrankovic; his four dear children: Kathy Craciun (Cornel), Kosta Vrankovic (Milica), George Vrankovic (Valentina), and Darlene Magda (Eugene); and his half-brother, Novak Plavić, along with Novak’s wife and children.

He will also be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his 15 grandchildren: Peter, Brandon, John, and Mark Craciun (Kathy’s children); James, Simon, and Lola Vrankovic (Kosta’s children); Peter, Brian (Shanelle), Jakob, and Victoria Vrankovic (George’s children); and Stefan, Marina, Sarah, and David Magda (Darlene’s children).

Petar will also be cherished by many cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, work colleagues, and the many believers and friends throughout the Apostolic Christian Church (Nazarene) denomination, as a believer in Christ, in which he held membership for 49 years—especially the Richmond Hill Congregation, where he faithfully attended for 30 years since its founding in 1995.

Petar will always be remembered for his zeal for the Lord, his sacrificial love, warm hospitality, and generosity toward all whom he encountered.
