Downy Ernesto Karvonen

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Downy Karvonen. On Sunday, March 9th, 2025, his loving next of kin gathered to send him off to Valhalla.

Downy was recognized as a national and international award-winning sound recordist, designer and editor. In one of his best friend’s words “Downy shined like a new dime each and every day, bringing his charm and leaving his authentic kindness everywhere he went”.

A celebration of life will take place in Sherwood Park at Wye Community Hall on Sunday, April 27th at 2 pm.

In lieu of flowers, we would like to sponsor an hour of programming on CKUA radio to feature Downy’s favorite songs and the music of the Albertan musicians he worked with.
