It is with broken hearts and overwhelming sadness that we announce the death of Ken at the age of 73. He left the physical world for an offer he could not resist, a pain free rest.
He passed away peacefully, at home, April 19, 2021 surrounded by his loving family, following a brave, defiant fight.
Goodbyes hurt the most when the story is not yet finished.
Ken accomplished many things during his life. His greatest accomplishment was his family. He married the love of his life and best friend Maureen in 1973. They were happily married for 47 years. They enjoyed winter travels to Texas and summers at Trout Lake. When not travelling or spending time at the lake Ken could be found playing basketball (he stopped playing at age 70 but still joined the guys for a beer), listening to music, going to concerts or playing the guitar.
It is with both deep sorrow and joy at a life well lived, that the family of Frank Ivancic announce his passing away peacefully in his home on December 30th, 2020 with his wife and son, at his side.
He was born December 7th, 1926 in the village of Kamno. This small quaint Italian village would eventually fall under Yugoslavia and, later still, Slovenia. Frank’s Slovenian heritage played a formative role throughout his life and he returned to the Kamno Valley as often as he could.
Frank began his life in Canada in earnest integrating into the tightknit Slovenian community of Thunder Bay, finding work in the forestry industry, and meeting the love of his life, Mercedes. They married on April 19, 1961 and had two beautiful boys whom they raised dutifully in the Roman Catholic faith.
