Dominique "Nick" L. Privett

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dominique (Nick) L. Privett, Sioux City, Iowa. He entered into heaven on October 7th, 2020, age 65 after a lengthy illness. Nick was born in Nettancourt, France on May 18, 1955 to Bleuette Caron and Jean Hedieux. He moved to the United States with his mother, sister Debbie (Klemke) Johnson and his brother Rodney Klemke in 1962. They moved to Sioux City, Iowa in 1966. He was adopted by Dr. James and Patricia Privett formerly of Sioux City, Iowa.

He served overseas in the United States Army from 1980 until 1983 achieving the rank of Sergeant.  He returned to Sioux City, Iowa where he worked for Fareway Grocery and continued his employment for 34 years until his retirement in 2019. He married the love of his life, Constance (Connie Bousquet) Baker on August 26, 1988 with her 5 children. Together Nick and Connie provided foster care and went on to adopt eight additional children.  

Nick loved working for Fareway and was known by many.  His other passions included spending time with family, cooking exotic French dishes, working on his home and gardening.  Nick's life exemplified a life of self-sacrifice, giving to others and loving his family. He rarely complained and showed compassion rather than correction. We will all miss him deeply but know he is with our Lord and Savior, Yeshua Hamashiach.
