Dedicated rodeo fan killed in Ponoka crash remembered fondly
The man who died in a crash earlier this month near Ponoka is being remembered as a fervent supporter of the Alberta rodeo scene.
Darrell Paulovich was tragically killed in a three-vehicle collision on the QE II Highway on the night of October 12 as he was travelling home to Edmonton from the Foothills Cowboy Association Finals at Westerner Park in Red Deer. He was 46.
The youngest of four boys, Paulovich became well known in rodeo circles over the last few years as an ardent fan and supporter. In 2017, he put on 23,000 kilometres attending seventy rodeos and 100 performances, according to his brother Darcy.
Paulovich had the upcoming Canadian Finals Rodeo in Red Deer on his calendar, too.
