Proznick: It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of Mr. Carmen Anthony Proznick on Thursday, September 26, 2024 at the age of 83 years after a long health struggle.

Carmen’s memory will be forever cherished by his loving wife, Donna; his daughters: Vanessa, Vivian (Dennis) and Valora; nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; his sister, Val (Larry); brothers: Bernard (Charleen) and Greg (Sandra); as well as many nieces, nephews and a host of extended family and friends.

He was predeceased by his parents: Harry and Sophie Proznick; sister, Darleen Brown; brother-in-law, Beverley (Bev) Brown; son, Vaughan Proznick; son-in-law, Kevin Douglas and father-in-law, Yaris Nikiforuk.

Missed will be his smile, his compassion and kindness, his beaming pride and joy over his daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was an honorable man who inspired those around him.

Carmen treasured the many adventures he shared with Donna, whether near or far. These included vacations to Jamaica, Mexico, Las Vegas, Phoenix, a Florida family vacation and destinations within Canada. In the summer, Carmen loved spending time at the lake, enjoying an early morning cup of coffee, listening to the birds chirping. In the evenings he loved sitting in front of the fire with a glass of wine. He delighted in quiet evenings, watching all sports. He was a number 1 fan of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, Toronto Blue Jays and the Edmonton Oilers.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, October 4, 2024 – 11:00 a.m. at the Western Development Museum, Heritage Hall – North Battleford, SK with Reverend Jo Ann Hills as officiant.

Rest in peace Carmen.

His weary hours and days of pain,

His troubled nights are past.

And in our aching hearts we know

He has found sweet rest at last.

Nothing can ever take away

The love a heart holds dear.

Fond memories linger every day

Remembrance keeps him near.
