RIGBY – A Utah immigrant who was a prisoner of war in Bosnia decades ago passed away Saturday morning.
Anto Bauman died at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City with a rare form of muscular cancer. He was 73.
Jordyn Bauman, his daughter-in-law, lives in Rexburg with her husband, Kristijan. She tells EastIdahoNews.com it’s been an arduous battle for Anto over the last 16 months. The cancer was aggressive and painful and she’s amazed with his “incredible strength.”
“We knew this would come eventually, but we just weren’t expecting it to be now,” Jordyn says. “It’s hard for my husband to lose his dad. He’s still trying to wrap his mind around that.”
Anto was diagnosed with bladder cancer in August 2023. After having his bladder removed, Jordyn says the cancer spread to his lungs and mutated into a rare muscular cancer. Anto was one of about 174 people in the world who had it, doctors told Jordyn.
By July 2024, cancerous nodes had spread throughout his body and Jordyn says there was a small cist on his back. He succumbed to the disease five months after the second diagnosis.
Jordyn says her father-in-law was no stranger to hardship.
