IGOR TKAC
at his Celebration of Life and Love
on Saturday July 20, 2024 (Igor’s birthday)
at 1:00pm
It will be held at Fossil Trace Golf Club
3050 Illinois St, Golden, CO 80401
Please come ready with a memory or two and bring a photo if you have one you like.
In honor of Igor’s love of art, we will create our own community art project with all of these memories by building a memory tree.
Please dress however you’d like to. Igor loved color, especially red, yellow, and blue therefore colorful dress is encouraged. If you have any Igor-designed or airbrushed gear or skate gear you’d like to wear that would also be a great way to celebrate him.
Hors d’oeuvres will be served and a cash bar will be available.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his honor to:
https://www.timbrauchfoundation.org/donate-now,
an organization dedicated to promoting skateboarding and art as positive influences in young people’s lives.
Igor was an incredibly special person to so many of us.
If you can not attend or simply feel inclined,
please share your favorite memories below:

It was around 1992? I was the airbrush dude at Hunky Dory T-shirts in the Aurora Mall. Ron, the owner had decided to use the back of the store for a custom skate shop (gasp!), and hired some questionable skater kids to work it.
I had bad luck getting anyone to help with the airbrushing as it's not an easy thing to learn, and the last few guys I had trained had bailed on me after a short time, using their new-found knowledge to get better jobs elsewhere. I vowed to not teach anyone again,
Then I met one of the skater kids working at the back. He seemed pretty cool, and could really draw. Yep, that was Igor. We ended up as working friends for the next few years, until Hunky Dory closed, and he went on his own to the Buckingham Mall, and I moved to Arizona.
We were 10 years apart, and his birthday was only 3 days before mine, so we always talk on the phone around then.
I was very proud of what he made out of himself, and will miss him greatly.
