Earl Cronk, passed away peacefully on September 5, 2024 at the age of 64. Earl was born in 1959 at Leroy Hospital in Leroy, Saskatchewan, to Howard and Betty Cronk. Raised on the family farm north of Watson, Earl's early years were shaped by the rural landscape and the strong work ethic instilled by his parents.

Earl’s educational journey began in Watson and continued in Muenster, reflecting his family's commitment to providing him with opportunities for growth. Earl and his parents moved to Preeceville, and after his parents passing he continued to reside there for a time. This is where he continued to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace. He then moved to his siters farm north of Ketchen.

In search of new opportunities, Earl relocated to Wadena, where he worked at Mallard Diversified Industries. His journey then took him to Humboldt, where he worked at Futuristic Industries. There, Earl not only contributed his skills but also made lasting friendships, brightened the office with his presence, and became known for his fondness for coffee and hot chocolate. The evening coffee times were a cherished ritual for him, offering moments of joy. 

Earl was predeceased by his parents, Howard and Betty Cronk, and his grandparents. He is survived by his devoted sisters, Eva Strand of Humboldt, SK, and Jean Goodwin of Melfort, SK, as well as his brother Daryl Cronk of Star City, SK. He also leaves behind several beloved nieces and nephews who will carry forward his memory.

Earl will be remembered for his kindness, his love of coffee, and the quiet joy he found in everyday moments. His gentle spirit and the impact he made on those around him will be deeply missed.

May he rest in peace and be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
