‘She was fantastic:’ Funeral held for Broncos team trainer killed in bus crash
HUMBOLDT, Sask. — Brenden Prokopchuk wrote Dayna Brons a love letter for their five-year anniversary, not knowing she would die a few weeks later.
He told her that he was lucky to have her as his best friend and he looked forward to their next 50 years together. Prokopchuk read the letter aloud at her funeral Wednesday in Humboldt, Sask.
He broke into sobs as he walked off a stage in the arena and was enveloped in hugs from family and friends.
Brons, 24, was the athletic therapist for the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team. She was injured after the team’s bus and a semi truck collided as the Broncos were on the way to a playoff game in northeastern Saskatchewan on April 6.
