Marc Andrew Lischka
June 11, 1963 – November 1, 2026
Marc Andrew Lischka passed away on November 1, 2026, at the age of 63, at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife, Norma; his sons, Nicholas (Elizabeth), Eric and Zackery; his grandchildren, Austin and Amelia; his sisters, Nicol, Monique, Vanessa (Greg) and Natalie; his brother, Kurt (Angie); and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
Marc was predeceased by his parents, Nickolas and Yvette; his sister, Jacqui; and his parents-in-law, Albert and Elsie.
As the eldest son in a large family, Marc was known for his remarkable intelligence, endless curiosity and seemingly limitless knowledge. There wasn’t much he didn’t know something about, and if he didn’t have the answer, he was determined to find it. The internet was his friend, and he was always willing to share what he learned.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Marc developed a lifelong passion for cars. He bought, repaired and sold vehicles, doing his own mechanical and autobody work. He often worked alongside his younger brother Kurt in his shop, occasionally turning to Kurt for advice on a particularly stubborn repair. Marc and Kurt shared a close bond, regularly talking on the phone to discuss their business ventures, exchange ideas and offer each other advice.
An avid reader and stock market enthusiast, Marc combined his interests in a way that was uniquely his own. With six iPads set up in his garage, he could follow the markets and make trades while working on vehicles. Later in life, he spent a couple of seasons hauling anhydrous ammonia and fulfilled a bucket-list dream of ice-road trucking for two winters.
Marc had a sharp wit, a playful spirit and a personality entirely his own. He enjoyed a spirited debate, offered thoughtful and sometimes unconventional advice, and could make people laugh with a perfectly timed remark. His affection often came through in warm hugs, playful neck holds and ear tugs, special nicknames and good-natured teasing.
He loved music, particularly the sounds of the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. He enjoyed sharing YouTube videos, exchanging favourite songs and revisiting the music that held so many memories. Whether discussing something that fascinated him or simply enjoying breakfast with good company, Marc appreciated time spent with others.
Marc was someone you could turn to for advice, a different perspective or help making sense of something. His intelligence and wisdom offered comfort, and there was reassurance in knowing he was there when you needed him.
We will miss the conversations, the laughter, the teasing, the hugs, the music and the advice. Most of all, we will miss the comfort of knowing he was there.
Though Marc’s life was far too short, the memories he created and the ways he touched our lives will remain with us always.
Forever loved. Deeply missed. Always remembered.
Marc’s Celebration of Life will be held on June 12, 2027, at 102 Kellins Crescent, Saskatoon, SK.
Arrangements entrusted to Dalmeny Funeral Home 306-254-2022.
