Mr. Jurevich drove the city bus in Modesto for 12 years. For the past 14 years, he was a truck driver 
for Mello Turf Co. in Patterson. In his personal time, Mr. Jurevich enjoyed drag racing and restoring 
old cars, and he had nearly completed the restoration of a classic Barracuda. Also a big fan of NASCAR 
racing, Mr. Jurevich had worked on the pit crew for Harry Holton Racing since 1976.
Mr. Jurevich is survived by his wife of 26 years, Toni Jurevich of Turlock; father, Ivan Jurevich, and his 
wife, Eve Kelley, of Patterson; siblings, Jeanine May, Elise Jurevich D’Anna, and her husband, Jim, and

Turlock. Services will begin at 1 p.m. Friday at the mortuary. An online guest book is available at
