Caesar Andre Procunier

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Caesar Andre Procunier on September 5, 2024. Some may know that he was in an accident at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes back in September 2023, his injuries resulted in him being considered quadriplegic. He fought hard and stayed positive even with all the challenges that he was presented with over the last year. 

He was born May 15, 1966, in Walnut Creek, California to Walter Alfred Procunier and Carmelita Adelina Ortega. He had many fond memories that he would often speak of about the times he and his cousins spent as a child with his grandma and grandpa Ortega in California before moving to Utah as a teen. In Utah he found his group of best friends, and to this day he still spoke to them regularly. He attended Jordan High School and later in life went back to school and finished with his GED. He started at Midwest Casket Company when he was 17 years old, from there he stayed within the funeral industry and became an Insurance Agent, and then part business owner of Broomhead Funeral Home. 

Anyone who knew Caesar knows that he was a party. He always liked to have a good time. He was so full of life, funny, charming, loving, kindhearted, and always liked to give to those who were less fortunate. You could always count on him to stop at any neighborhood kids’ lemonade stands, he loved to support them and would encourage them to keep up the good work ethics. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, especially memories of camping and hunting, and most famously what the Procunier Family was known for was hosting the Provo River Float and “24th of July” Party. 

He is survived by his children Cedar, Andre (Larissa), Lexi (Corey) and Payton (Kirsten); granddaughter Eva; girlfriend Debra Bailey who continued to be with him this past year; business partner, former wife and dear friend Laura B. Procunier; brother Erik Anderson, and many aunts, uncles and extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his father and grandma and grandpa Ortega. 

A visitation will be held Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 1:00 – 4:00 PM at the Broomhead Funeral Home 12600 South 2200 West Riverton, Utah. He will then make his final trip down to Torrey, Utah to be buried Monday, September 23, 2024, at 10:00 AM.
