ANTON ZALIK, beloved husband of Denise Zalik, passed away at Chinook Regional Hospital on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at the age of 85 years.
Anton is survived by his wife of 57 years, Denise, sons Robert and David and their families, as well as one sister and three nieces.
He was predeceased by his parents, four siblings, and two nephews.
Anton was born in Velika Polina, Slovenia in June 1935. As a young man he moved to France, then immigrated to Toronto, ON. He met his wife, Denise, in 1961 and they were married two years later in 1963. In 1970, they moved to Alberta to pursue their dreams on the great prairies. In 1993, the family took another journey to Cochrane, AB as work was plentiful in Calgary at that time.
After 12 years, both Anton and Denise retired and moved back to Lethbridge where they lived together until 2017. Due to his declining health, Anton was moved into St. Michael's Health Centre in 2018, where he resided until his passing.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2405 - 12 Ave. S, Lethbridge, AB on Friday, July 24, 2020 at 11:00 A.M. with Father Kevin Tumback celebrating.
