Curtis Prohaska family and friends
Curtis Prohaska, who grew up in SJ, died this week at age 33, a result of a car accident. He was looking forward to starting a new life with his wife, Becky in the Traverse City area, and perhaps even try out wakeboarding in Lake Michigan.
But while driving to work Thursday morning during his first week of employment at the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District, the former St. Johns man received fatal head injuries in a four-vehicle accident near Traverse City.
He leaves behind a young wife, Rebecca (DeWitt) Prohaska, also from SJ and daughter of former SJ police officer, Scott DeWitt.
Family and friends are trying to get word out about a memorial fund to help the family defray some of the medical and funeral costs. For more information or to donate please check out http://www.gofundme.com/41xdvk.
