HRAZDIRA, Ivan Frank - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ivan Hrazdira Sr on March 2, 2020 at age 73.
Peacefully surrounded by his family, Ivan passed away after a brave and lengthy battle with cancer at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
Ivan Hrazdira was born on September 15, 1946 in Kolin, Czechoslovakia.
In 1968 he immigrated to Canada with his family.
Ivan attended George Brown College in Toronto and became a designer of industrial machinery, later founding his own company.
A lifelong "tinkerer," there was apparently nothing that Ivan could not design or fix.
Ivan is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Debby; four children, Ivan Jr and his wife Leigh of New York, Anna, Brandon and Tanya-Lee and her partner Zachary; five grandchildren, Katy Alex and Lily, Zoe and Zeke and Landon; sister Blanka Kovarik, niece Kristina Kovarik and partner Rob, and Ivan’s former wife Marie Jackson.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Liba Hrazdira.
Life to be celebrated at Prague Restaurant 450 Scarborough Golf Club Road Toronto, Ontario on Saturday, March 7, 2020 from 1 to 4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations to ca.Movember.com or PAWS would be greatly appreciated by the family.
