May 20, 1955 - December 23, 2013
Stanislaw Peter Skorut of North Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away on December 23, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada, surrounded by his loving family.
Peter was born in Sulkowice, Poland, on May 20, 1955, to Franciszek and Ludwika Skorut as the sixth of their seven children.
He met his wife Danuta while studying in Krakow, Poland. They married on April 28, 1979, in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, and had three sons, Mike, Peter Jr. and Patrick.
He graduated from the Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Krakow, Poland, in 1980, earning a master's degree in mechanical engineering. Peter was a strong supporter of the Solidarity movement. He immigrated to the United States from then-communist Poland in 1982 with his young family and settled in Bountiful, Utah. Here his drive and passion for life was present in all he did.
Peter is survived by his wife Danuta, sons: Michael (Jessica), Peter Jr. and Patrick, his three grandsons: Mathew, Luka and William, siblings: Wanda, Irena, Jan (Maria), Aniela (Jozef), Kazimierz (Krystyna), Franciszek (Jadwiga), many nieces and nephews with their families. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, January 2nd, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. Mass will be celebrated on Friday, January 3rd, at 10:00 a.m. at Saint Olaf Catholic Church, 1800 South Orchard Drive, Bountiful. Interment will follow at Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 275 U Street, Salt Lake City.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that you honor Peter by supporting the Polish organization Razem Utah, which he helped establish and was proud of.
