RANDALL JAMES PROVEN It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Randy Proven at the age of 65 on November 29, 2018. Randy leaves to cherish his memory his mother Isabella Proven, brothers, Garry (Rita), Dave (Jessie), Rick (Amy) and Doug (Cindy), three children and nine grandchildren, Gena Proven and her family Ashley, Vicky (Eric), Kyla (Jake) and Brooklynn; Evan Proven (Phoebe) and their family Oliver, Molly, Lucille and Alice; Ayma Proven and her son Taner. Randy was predeceased by his father Harold Proven. He will be dearly missed by his partner Adina Lyon, her daughter Jan (Martin) and their children, Linnea, Isla and Clare. Randy will be fondly remembered by Gena's mom, Sharon Epp and Evan and Ayma's mom, Marion Pringle, along with a large and loving extended family. Randy was born on March 9, 1953. He loved growing up on the farm near Basswood where he learned lifelong skills (like sailing). He taught these skills to his kids and grandkids and was always working towards a better world for the next generation. His many passions ranged from responsible resource management to a fair voting system. Randy was a pioneer in the energy efficient building industry and leaves a legacy of high performance homes across Manitoba. Knowing Randy made you want to make the world a better place. A celebration of his multi-faceted life will be held on Saturday, February 23, 2019 at the Scandinavian Centre, 764 Erin St. at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation to an endowment fund currently being established for students of Passive House design, or the latest energy efficient building science, would be gratefully accepted. The fund will be announced at a future date on www.suncertifiedbuilders.com.
