Donald 'Don' Wayne Koski, 61

Donald “Don” Wayne Koski, 61, left to go meet his heavenly Father and Jesus on Oct. 3, 2018, after a very courageous battle against cancer.

He was an employee of Coeur Mining in Juneau, Alaska. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved being in the woods with his family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Glenn Koski.

He is survived by his wife Robin Koski, his mother Patricia Koski, biological father Orlee Erickson, his son Anthony Koski, daughters Amanda Koski and Matti Koski, stepchildren Mark Thompson, Nicole VanDort, and Crystal Wagoner, brothers Glenn Koski Jr., Ronald Koski and his wife Michelle Koski, Ron Koski, Jeff Koski and his wife Tammy Baker Koski, and Clay Koski.

The family would like to give a very heartfelt thank you to Home Options Hospice for the wonderful care they gave to my husband.
