David G. Jedlicka, a 44 year resident of Alaska, passed away November 6, 2018, at his home in Soldotna surrounded by family after a 2 year battle with colon cancer.
David was born on December 19, 1953 in Fondulac, Wi. to George J. Jedlicka and Dorothy (Minton) Jedlicka. In 1972 he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and in 1974 was assigned to the King Salmon Air Base. After receiving his honorable discharge in 1982, David worked for Crowley Maritime, Wien Air Alaska, State of Alaska DOT, and the Bristol Bay Borough as a heavy equipment operator until retiring in 2010.
David enjoyed numerous hobbies but his favorite was sport fishing on the Naknek River. A sign in his fly tying room sums it all: “Most of my life I’ve wasted; the rest I’ve spent fishing”. He served on the Bristol Bay School Board, the Naknek Electric Association, as well as the Bristol Bay Elks Lodge #2687. He served his community and his country with great pride.
He is survived by his wife, Julia, sons George (Kim),Daniel (Diana), and Michael (Stephanie), his sister Jean Ann (David), 2 granddaughters , Anika and JoHana, and adopted brother Ken Kens(Patricia), brother-in-law -in-law, Ralph Omholt, sister-in-law Karen Saunders (Mel).The Jedlicka family is very grateful to the many friends locally and far away who took the time to help care for their buddy, ‘Jed’. David will be interred at the Fort Richardson National Cemetery in the spring of 2019.
