ALLAN MICHAEL BURAK
September 11, 1954 - November 13, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Allan on November 13, 2020.
He will be greatly missed by his closest nephew Jason, his family, and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Stephania (Stella) Burak, his brother, George, and his sisters, Patricia Hicks (Ted), and Marie Stawychny (Terry). He is survived by his only daughter, Nicole Drake and stepson, Kelly Clay, his most precious and caring nephew, Jason Stattin, his sisters, Emily Stattin and Linda Cymbalisty (Donald), his brother, John Burak (Nellie), sister-in-law, Shirley, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Allan started his life in Sylvan, Manitoba. As a little boy of seven years of age, his father taught him how to weld. Welding was a trade that served him well through the years. Life took him to different jobs in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. He was a talented, hardworking Pipeline Welder and Diesel Mechanic. Allan's final years were spent in Gunn, AB, Edson, AB, and with his nephew Jason in Edmonton, AB. At times, life for Allan was trying, challenging, and unfair. Jason diligently came to his aid. He loved his Uncle Allan unconditionally, and cared for him without measure. We as Allan's family, thank Jason and Emily very much for their constant love, support, care, and presence for our little brother.
Cremation has taken place. Allan will return to Manitoba to be buried with his cherished father, Michael, at a later date.
