Stuart Sankowich Obituary
July 2, 1958 - July 7, 2023
Stuart was born and raised in San Francisco. He is survived by his son Samuel and his siblings Dori Sankowich (Jeff), Stephen Sankowich (Valeria), Charles Sankowich and Nancy Sankowich.
Stuart was known and loved for his generous spirit, gentle soul and big heart, all expressed in the warmest of smiles. His love of Judaism and for Israel and his thirst for knowledge were at his core and only matched by his love of his family and most especially his son.
He was a shining light in the lives of all he touched and will be forever missed.
Donations in Stuart's name may be made to The Jewish Community Federation. https://jewishfed.org
Services will be at 1:30PM on Sunday, July 16th at Sinai Memorial Chapel, 1501 Divisadero Street, San Francisco.

Dori, We were so saddened by Stewart's passing and our condolences to the entire Sankowich family. Could not attend the services due to our relocation to Southern California but our thoughts were with you. Miss seeing you all.

So sorry to hear of Stuart´s passing. We met as teenagers, had some great times. We reconnected in our twenties for more good times. Our most recent contact was in our 50´s. Stuart remained the same loving, caring, sweet person I met as a teen. Wishing you eternal peace Stuart. I´ll miss the catch-up we would have had in our 70´s.
